Fun at Bay Beach

Allie and Aidan in the green one; Mommy and Caleb in the yellow one

The most hilarious picture of all- Ben in his car, one hand on the steering wheel, pacifier in backwards...

I love Caleb's expression

The A cousins

Playground time with the cousins

Arrival in Green Bay

Nana and Papa holding Bee- Hudson

Cousin Allie couldn't wait to hold her new cousin (she now has 1 brother and 3 boy cousins-- she is surrounded!)

Our boys however were content with baby dolls....!

Mason loves fish

Hanging out-- this is cool

And I can be made to smile (note his dad/Uncle Bubba in the back)

Oh, they are even prettier if I look closer

Let me just put my face on the glass

Aquarium fun with the fam

Hot times in Hotlanta

Eating brunch outside-- the boys are saying "my grandma"

Aidan posing for Grandpa Dave

Our bruiser cousin Mason visiting-- we had so much fun!

Hudson is really smiling these days-- here is a sampling!

Happy Birthday Caleb D!

Shared birthday cake with Aunt Natalie (OK, I admit, he got none because it was 7pm and this was a chocolate cake)

And yes, he also got a rewrapped truck he got for Christmas

I did buy him a cute book though!

All in all, a great celebration with our family in town!

Helping and playing

Aidan helping Daddy paint the guest room... Andy thought there might be 8 coats of paint on the wall here...

On the dinosaur train...

Happy 2nd birthday Caleb D!

We are so happy that Caleb has made it to his 2nd birthday! He is the risk-taker, the destroyer and currently loves to jump from everything after watching the divers at the pool this summer.

There is so much to say about our "K-love". I think his strongest characteristics are his great enthusiasm and his stubborness. Both of which, with some direction, will serve him well as an adult! He is very quick to clap ('cwap'), and he describes everything with the adjective "BIG". He is a very energetic big brother and keeps us on our toes!

Funny things we do

We eat our ice cream cones from the bottom (ahem, Aunt Natalie)

Our mounted police force... they are intimidating!

"Bee-Hudson" (Caleb's name for him) in the midst of it all

Summer days

Our week

Here is baby Hudson this week sleeping in the bouncy seat-- he is not a big fan of sleeping, so at least need a shot for posterity! Aidan says he is cute because of his "funny hair"...

Aidan in the sky chair being a good big brother- he is very doting on baby Hudson and likes to hold him. He also is in charge of baby Hudson while we are in the car, but does tire of this role at times.

Our dear, dear friends Jeff and Tamara-- visited us while transitioning from living in Panama to moving to Nepal! We will be lining up volunteers because Andy and I are planning on a trip to Katmandhu in a year. We were so thrilled to be able to see them during their short time in the States!
