Take me out to the ballgame!

We took a half day and took our boys to their first ever baseball game. The day included beautiful, mild, non-humid weather, a grand slam, home run fireworks, a win for the home team, and singing the famous baseball tune, non-stop the whole way home. Priceless.


My big brother did it

This was one of our oldest little guys first pieces of artwork after being given dry erase markers for his easel. Of course he had just been told to use the markers on the white part of the easel only. So much for a three year old listening to his mom!!

Birthday Party Fun

Well, this is actually our first of two birthday parties this month. Our next party will be celebrating both our boys birthdays with our families. This party was just for our older monkey who had a Curious George party with some of his friends and their families.
Grandma made the adorable Monkey under the Palm Tree Cupcakes, they turned out so cute!
Little people and big people alike had a good time.
Thanks to all who helped us celebrate.



Birthday Trip to the Zoo




Daddy took the day off and we headed for the Cincinnati Zoo, thanks to Zoo passes we recieved as a Christmas gift! We enjoyed the family time seeing animals, a little water play and even a family ride on the Merry-Go-Round, notice the baby in the back pack!
Lunch was maybe the craziest part of the day as the birthday boy was surrounded by peacocks who just wanted some of his sandwich. At one point there were 5 brightly colored birds trying to get a piece of our lunch. We finished the day with a train ride and some ice cream, had a great time!

Home Remodeling

It's been a busy month for our house and us. After pressure washing the deck and concrete our new back door finally arrived and was installed in a day. Then, came the big project, installing hardwood floors! It kept us busy for a whole weekend, of course the boys and I had to spend the whole weekend out of the house, which kept both grandmas busy, and the grandpas helped with the manual labor!!
Here's a little progression of what the project looked like, including breakfast on the floor.
The job is mostly complete now, save a few finishing details, and looks beautiful!
We thank everyone who helped us with both important parts of the job.





First Tumbling Class

Well, I think we'll work backwards, but I'm hoping to update you all on what our little family has been up to these last few months we've been out of contact.
These pictures are brand new, taken only this morning at our little guys very first tumbling class. With only two other classmates the teacher was able to give lots of attention and fun instruction. So much so that "we" wanted to stay for the next class.
