Lake Daycation

I took a Saturday off from work, and we headed to Deep Creek, Maryland with my parents for a day at the "beach." It was a gorgeous, sunny, warm day, and we had a LOVELY time!

Beautiful Boys

...blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Phineas Benjamin, 4 years

This little guy is ALWAYS drawing, painting, coloring.

He IS an artist like his daddy!

Silas Henry, 22 months

Our "baby" is speaking in sentences, loves the pool,

and is a total people person!

With these two guys in my life, I couldn't ask for anything more!

Summertime, and the livin' is...

... well, not exactly easy, since I'm working two jobs now, but definitely great!

Two sleepovers at Great Grandma Jane's house!

Our goofy Phineas...

Leaving Aunt Katie a message.

Dinner and playtime at our friends' new house.

I'm thinking he LOVES nutella like his mommy! :)

Growing things...

Beautiful apple pie Caleb made from apples off the tree in front of our house!

It was delicious!

Our "little" Silas

Can't believe our baby will soon be 2 years old. He decided last week to be a "terrible 2," but I guess the bad come with the good, right? He loves buttons, electronics, and gadgets, and loves to get into all kinds of trouble because of it. Wonder where he got that from?

Randoms

These are a few random photos from the last few months that I took with my phone.

Fun with dear friends

on the carousel at Schenley Plaza

Phineas at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

(This was the photo op spot of choice when I was a child--

ant hill or dung heap-- you decide.)

Silas noshing on some watermelon.

At "our" park with more dear friends.

Phin with C3PO (or 3PPO, as he calls him).

Phin at swim lessons.

Beach Day at Preschool

These pictures are actually from May 27th, but I'm just now getting them downloaded from my phone. On Beach Day, the kids got to wear their bathing suits, sunglasses, etc and play in the hose and eat popsicles. We just happened to be early for pick-up that day and saw them playing in the yard-- so I got pictures and Silas got a popsicle!
