Playing at the Park

We’re ALL so happy it’s park weather again. 

And I’m especially happy that Jimmy’s old enough to enjoy much of the park without my direct help, thanks to his sisters’ patient guidance:

He’s a fast learner – and quite fearless!

Finders Keepers

Susie, chasing after her sister, who was holding something she wanted: “Becky, that’s mine!”

Becky: “But I found it!”

Susie: “It’s not finders keepers.”

Becky: “It’s losers weepers.  If I lose it, I will weep.” 

Boy Bonding

One of my favorite aspects of my parents’ recent visit was watching my dad bond with the boys.  Jimmy was especially attached to his Grandpa (or “Bee-Pa” as he kept calling him).  I think the feeling was mutual!  

 

Flashback

Grammie and her youngest grandchild:

The above picture reminded me of another one I took when Susie was almost 7 months old.  I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing my mom cuddle my babies!

Missing Them

My parents flew home today and I’m missing them already.  It was a whirlwind of a visit and we cherished every crazy minute of it!

Susie didn’t need any instruction on how to watch from the sidelines:

All of us enjoying a surprise Edible Arrangement from Grammie’s good friend (THANK YOU, CONNIE!):

The girls especially loved the chocolate-covered strawberries:

Danny learned first-hand how food always tastes better on a stick!
