June-ish

Soooo, true to form, the summer has somehow gotten off to an even busier start than the school year was!  It's all loads of fun, but finding time even for the store is challenging around Andrew's active schedule, Matthew's feeding/nap requirements, and Margaret's entertainment.  Did I mention Molly still needs a daily walk or run?  And what about Mommy's exercise (physical OR mental?) - whew! 

Donna and 4 of her 6 were kind enough to squeeze us in en route from VA Beach (watching Abby's MSU hockey tourney) back to Columbus, OH.  And how lucky that Susan happened to be here, too!  Can't believe Jack & Emily are 9 now, Matt 14 and Hannah 16.  Wish we could have see the college girls (Abby and Kate) and Uncle Bill, too.  Soon!  The countdown to Michigan is on! 

Bowling with classmates on a rainy day - always a favorite. 

Lax finally started!  Andrew's fond of defense so far, or so he says. 

 

Throwing!  (His form looks better than the end result, or so I'm told.) 

Huddled up at swim team on a chilly, rainy day.

My girl!

First Fairview picnic of the summer.

It almost looks like they love each other:) 

Green "smoovy"...finally getting some veggies in Miss Margaret.

Hard to tell looking at the monitor, but she puts on her Sunday shoes to read in bed in the morning. 

"For a Special Treat", she asked to sleep in a sleeping bag on her bed one day. 
I just can't figure out why she bothered asking for it.

 

 

Do deer ever have multiples, or are we missing a mom?  This crew has been hanging out between three of our yards all week. 

Last week, Matthew's sweet nose was running like crazy and crusting over when he slept.  I felt like I was poking corks out of his nose every time I got him up:(  Naturally, I assumed he had the cold that I was trying to kick.  But on Saturday at the pool, I saw a little tooth poking out!  A cold he had not, but a tooth!  Little man...sneaking that in at 5 months just like his big brother!  Of course it's no surprise.  For those that have seen him lately, they know he sure looks like he's ready to eat!!!

Five months old on June 17 and look how darn cute I've gotten?!?!
