Celebration

We had some cause for celebration this week. First full week of school over (successfully if not tiringly), a get together with our good friends, a boat ride, and Marie's Day! It is a good time; take a peek.

Hanging out with friends...waaaay overdue. The girls played outside, dressed up and then got a boat ride with their dads while the mommas stayed home and chatted. Marie's drink, by the way, is the milk in front of her, not the beer. The flowers are from Jim to celebrate Family Day. It was soooo great to spend time together with our friends again. It had been way way too long.

Ty loving the PlayPlace at "old McDonalds." He is having a little bit of a difficult weekend with teething, a cold and a bit of a red butt. But he is smiley here and loved the company we had over tonight. He is such a flirt! He isn't feeling the best so he mostly wanted to be held by Jim or I but he was definately making grins and smiles at the ladies. He went into a full fit when I held the new baby, Allie Marie. Ty did his little weird repetive scream/shriek to let us know how much he disagreed with the arrangement.


Momma and Marie at McDonalds.

Ty, doing what he does best. He seriously out-ate Marie. They both got a 4pc Chix Nugget Meal. Ty ate all of his chicken, fries (although Momma did apportion some) and most of his milk. Marie had to be coaxed into eating more than 2 nuggets. She was so thrilled with the ring in her Happy Meal and the chance to play on the play structure that she just couldn't eat. Wow... we should all be so thrilled with such simple things. She is so good at enjoying the moment and throwing herself into it with gusto!

We love you, Marie! We are so blessed to be your parents!!!
