A Great Weekend

We had such a fun time upstate with Grandmom and Grandad. What did we do? What DIDN'T we do! First of all, we played a LOT of soccer in the backyard. I kicked the goals and Grandad was the goal keeper. He didn't manage to block a single one of my 30-something goals. He's not a very good goalkeeper. We also went to a little zoo where I rode a pony called Dusty, went to the Arboretum and walked around, went on a hike, ate tons of good food, and most importantly, saw a real live BEAR. In our backyard. By the fire pit. While me and Daddy were playing water balloons on the deck. Mama is freaked out now for some reason.

Me and Dusty. 

With Grandmom and Grandad at the arboretum.

That's him, our new friend the bear! (That is also Daddy's patio project, made from rocks that him and Mama found in the woods!) 

This is the hike at the end of our road that we do a lot. I always make Daddy take my picture on this rock. This would be a wonderful picture of myself if somebody in the background wasn't ruining it with her peace signs. 

Me and My Bro

We had a great day at the "urban water park," last week, as my Mama calls it. (Ed note: It is a concrete playground with lots of amazing sprinklers.) This is us getting ready to go out. Mama thought it was funny to put me in a muscle tee, but the joke was on me because the sprinklers rinsed off my sunscreen and my shoulders got really burned! Bad Mama! Bro is looking cute here in the fancy Burberry sunhat that Mom got for him. And Lamby is photobombing us.

Also, here's a bonus pic of the two of us on the bed upstate, just because. 

Wait! A few more bonus pics of just baby Nicholas because he doesn't get his own blog, and will be wearing my hand-me-downs for the next 18 years. Also, because he is adorable and we all love him so much!! 

Smilin' Nicky

My sweet baby bro Nicholas is now almost 8 weeks old! He started smiling right around 6 weeks, and at first it was hard to get them out of him, but now he's a regular little giggle monster! It's so cute. Here's a sample of some of his recent gems that we actually managed to get on camera.

Also, Some Bonus Charlie!

 This is me combing Emmett. He was a nice goat.

Not pictured: exploding water balloon.

Forgive Us: We are Busy

But, presented without comment: CUTENESS...

We're Back!

No excuses. You've heard them all. How about some photos instead?

Like, of this guy, who is 5 WEEKS old today. That seems like a long time, and also seems like not very much time at all.

Here's me and my Bro in the bath, and also in my bed at the big house. He always looks so SURPRISED and CONCERNED. Lighten up, little dude. I got your back.

I think he thinks these guys are real. Silly bro!
