Good Friends!

What happens when you put together a summer day, a beautiful backyard, real BBQ, and old friends?







A lot of fun reminiscing and watching each others' children play together! It was so wonderful to see everyone!

We Love Our Daddy

Thank you Daddy for all the ways you show your love.
You play with us inside-stacking blocks, making music, racing cars, & doing puzzles.
You play outside-pushing our swings, chasing dogs, and cooling us off with the hose.
You give us lots of fun treats like pineapple and fig newtons.
You take us to the grocery and give us limes, cheese, and cookies.
You hold our hands and help us walk and do somersaults.
You take us to the pool, park, zoo, and on picnics.
You give us tons of hugs and kisses.
You read us book after book.



No matter the time of day (or night) you make us feel very special - like we are the only little people in your whole wide world! Thank you for being our very best Daddy!

Ta-Da

Max took his first two steps June 18, 2010!

It was a fabulous moment. Peter and I were getting ready to leave and we went to kiss and hug the kids good-night/good bye. I said Max let me give you a kiss and he walk two steps into my arms and gave me the biggest, most proud hug ever. I could barely contain the tears and of course there was a lot of cheering and screaming to go around!

I am sure it will be at least a week before he does it again but I have my video camera ready...

Hmmm...

JC Raulston Arboretum

I took the kids to JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State. I had never been there, heard it was pretty nice, and thought the kids might enjoy exploring. This was probably not a good idea on my part since it was 93 degrees! The kids were real troopers - got in and out of their stroller multiple times, crawled on and off benches, tried to eat mulch, and almost went swimming with the coy.
