Millie Goes Camping

There was rain, there were bugs, there was laughter and there were tears. Our first camping trip as a family has come and gone, and I have approximately 349 bites on my ankles to show for it. Millie enjoyed spending time with her friends Betty and Lucy and counting caterpillars. Her favorite part of the weekend was playing with Lucy and Betty's Hello Kitty floaty.







Eating "mellows." She prefers hers unroasted.









Cold chillin' in the camper. Note the lovely collection of ouwies on her legs.

We're Two!

Our kids are two! God help us all. 

Here are pics from their fun birthday party at Como this week:

First, Teacher Molly came to entertain the troops with music, dancing, and a giant parachute! We so heart teacher Molly.


Even Baby Elliot (who Millie believes is her brother) got in on the action.



Then lots of kisses from Dad. Geeze Dad, you're embarrassing me.



After dinner, it's Cupcake Time!





Eve sporting a "debonaire mustache" according to her mother.



My delicate flower with her pinky up. Such a lady.



Me need a yipe peeze.



It was such a fun night. For much, much better photos than these, go to Kayt and Kelly's Facebook pages.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Memorial day concert

After a perfect, bug-free day, we hit the first concert of the season at the Como Pavillion with  Z and family. The show was advertised as Easy Listening, but it so wasn't. Think Celine Dion singing Kum Ba Ya, backed by a bunch of guys who didn't make the cut for the local church band. The "music" got thumbs up from the kids, not so much from mom and dad. Oh how we suffer for our children.




Rockin' out to some gospel.


Millie being polite.


Getting two toddlers to look at the camera at the same time is like teaching a gold fish to sit. Not possible.




Seemed as a good a time as any for some light yoga.


Aaawww. I heart my family.

A glorious Memorial Day weekend. And the best part? It's only Sunday!
