The Sounds of Summer

   Well, school is officially out and the sounds of summer have begun. By sounds I don't mean the crickets, frogs and other noisy critters. I mean the sounds of laughter, giggles and screaming, the doorbell ringing, the tv blasting, thundering footsteps outside in the yard and doors opening and closing (or should I say slamming).

   Jeremy has become fast friends with three sisters, Alex, Kristina and Brianna, that have been visiting one of our neighbors, Kaitlin. They are all sweet, outgoing, full of energy and lots of giggles. We took the sisters to the park the other evening and to get Slurpies. The energy is non-stop. And what is it with kids and piggy-back rides? Poor Jeremy had to tote around all three, but he was fine with it. I think he was showing off just a little.

Easter Goofiness and Pink Hair

We enjoyed our Easter dinner at my Mom's house this year. As usual I ate way too much. But Easter is like Thanksgiving - there is just too much good food to pass up! I also took advantage of the beautiful day and colorful azalea bushes blooming to take some pictures of the kids (mine and my 2 nieces).

Some of the pictures were taken under my Mom's beautiful maple tree (which they insisted on so they could climb in it), and the red leaves gave a pink cast to their hair.

He needs to learn that if he makes a goofy face I might just post it!

An actual hug like this is a rare occurrence with these two.
