Exploring a mango pit

Mom, what IS this??

Feels slimy and slippery

Mmmmm, but it tastes good!

(and eventually ended up in the bib)

Everyone gets wet

Aidan wasn't sure what to do at first

but he knew having the hose was exciting

Instructed to wash Ellie right there...

But then Daddy gets washed, too

Happy Father's Day

New bike chariot for Father's Day

Aidan was ready to go!

Caleb, not so much

The reason we have a Daddy in our house

This week flew by!

Baby Caleb in his pool coverup-- he loves to splash and splash and then drink the pool water...

Here is Aidan "winking" ; he did a GREAT job today in his swim lessons and is quite the fish. A little more time working with Daddy and he will be a great swimmer! He loves the water.

Here is Caleb-- he can stand from a squatting position-- it won't be too long before he is a "rock climber"

Here is silly Daddy captured by Aidan the photographer

Recovering!

Here is Caleb in one of his many baths this weeks-- think we may need a haircut soon!

Standing up from a squatting position now! (And we are sprouting our first tooth...)

Aidan liked looking at his cherry-stained face in the mirror...

It is definitely summertime at our house-- lots of berries!

Trip down video memory lane

I always think back to the older videos and wish I could find them easier-- so, I went back and found most of them and put the "Videos" label on them... so if you want a little trip down video memory lane, just click on the label under the most recent video of Aidan and Liana dancing (or I put it on this post as well).

I have to say that Aidan has always been a ham and likes to be silly and dance...

I decided to do this because I needed a little break from the sickness drudgery today-- Caleb has been in the bathtub EIGHT times in the last 2 days for various bodily fluids... now, hopefully Andy and I can avoid this plague. Happy anniversary honey...

It's been one of those weeks

I will post some pics soon, but we have had the major illness marathon (we are home again today) for 2 weeks now, and hopefully just coming out of it. Makes us thankful for stay-at-home daddy starting July 1st!

Also, today is our 7th anniversary... anyone want to babysit?

Tiny dancers

Look for baby Caleb in the background...

Ellie Mae gets pampered Kraft boy style

Aidan thought Miss Ellie Mae needed a blanket because "she's tired"

Then, Aidan started snuggling on her

Sharing the blanket with Ellie Mae

Next Ellie got the pillow treatment and a visit from Caleb

Caleb loves water

Does Caleb look a little damp to you?

This would be the reason-- caught red-handed!

Caleb and mommy

A very common sight these days

Our trucker

You could not have imagined a happier 2 year old as when Daddy brought home the
"big truck" this last weekend

Looks natural, doesn't it?

Complete with sound effects

Helping Daddy out in any way he can

Catching up from May

In our neighbor's backyard for our practice in camping

In sorting through cards, found some stickers Nana had sent us-- was a good few hours of entertainment!

Aidan loves this little statue on our walk!
