Twins

My brother's wife, Gioia just gave birth to twin boys :) They are so sweet (well what newborn isn't). Both of my kids are very excited to have new cousins. They live close by too so we get to see them often. Lilliana loves to hold them and feed them. Mark is enamored by them, he is so cute holding the babies (only one at a time). I hope both of my kids are this much into babies if we decide to have more.

Brother and Sister

I am so lucky that my children like to play with one another. Lilliana will often include Mark in whatever she is playing. This time she made a spaceship and they were blasting off.

Summer

There's nothing like a nice cold popscicle on a hot summer day. From left to right: Lilliana, Carter, Trevor, Abby, Chase.

Dance Recital Practice

So the girls in Lilliana's dance class had a little mini performance for their dance recital. They all started to dance and then Lilliana decided that she didn't want to dance...I sure hope she doesn't decide to do that in the real performance. They are dancing to Splish Splash.

Japanese Tea Garden

After a little happy hollow visit we decided to check out the Japanese Tea Garden right next door. It's a good thing it was practically empty so we weren't bothering people who were looking for a little peace and relaxation! There was a huge pond full of ducks. The kids had lots of fun feeding the ducks, there were even a few ducklings. The kids all had a great time pretending to be power rangers...
