THE GANG WAS BACK TOGETHER....

.....Back together for a short time, but we'll take good friends any way we can get them.....

"Make new friends,

but keep the old.

One is silver,

the other is gold."

"A circle is round,
it has no end.
That's how long
I will be your friend."


Thanks so much for coming to visit and seeing where we now live....
for those extra miles packed on top of a long drive of miles already.....
for the pleasure of seeing two 3 year olds go crazy for Mentos....
for sharing a special tea party with chocolate cookies.....
for letting us show you all our new "norms"......

but, especially for an afternoon that created a great memory.....
of one family just being content to be with another family.....
a great game of flag football on a sunny, late summer day.....
of mom's watching and visiting, sitting in the grass..with babies and toddlers playing around us...

"You have one hand
I have the other.
Put them together
We have each other."


It was a fun and GOLDen day!

Oh, yeah, and that cute, squishy baby on the right is coming to visit us on Saturday, too!

Can't wait to kiss those cheeks.

Thursday Night at the Park

Last night was a quadruple practice night with the 2 oldest having football practice. The 2 middles had soccer practice....and as luck would have it.....same time at the same park!!

It was a beautiful night to enjoy time outside, so Mark and I and the 2 littles watched practice and played at the park.

Moe is on a U10, rec. coed fall soccer team.

His games start next Saturday.

Buttercup is on a U7, co-ed, rec. team.

Her games start next Saturday, too.

Coco found ways to pass the time by crawling to all the dandilions.

As she grabbed each one, I did my childhood ritual of making a wish as the seeds flew into the air.

Wishing for........

.......shhhh.......I'm not supposed to tell!!

Happy Labor Day Week-end!!!

Moe Has A Great Idea!

Yesterday, Moe was doing an astronomy experiment where he had to use balloons to make a small scale model of the sun and the planets. Moe had to blow up the balloons according to the size that each planet is in relationship to one another. The yellow balloon above ended up representing the sun......not exactly the shape I was looking for, but I'll give hime an "A" for creativity!

We're Movin' On Up

Coco has had fun being mobile with her unique crawl that is all her own....using one knee and one foot, but, now, she has decided to move on to taller mountains......

that of mastering her vertical crawl.

Sometimes I think she is extra courageous as I think she knows she has a safety net....

One, quick "look at me" smile before the final conquest...

then on to a whole new "level" of fun!

Happy Monday

Happy Monday everyone!

Mondays = daddy back at work, early rising for school, a piano lesson, football practice.....

But, for our "lil comic relief boy" it's Garbage truck day!!



All excitement brought courtesy to us from a delightful 3-year old boy.

He is so good at finding joy in the simple things in life......


Here's hoping we all will find joys in the simple things today!

Have a wonderful day!
