Recent Happenings in Pictures

Summer vacation is officially upon us, and boy have we been busy.

We had to get in a little beauty parlor before leaving for Pittsburgh this past week.  What grown woman dosen't wear fifty two hair barrettes and a red comb tangled in their hair?

That trip really tuckered out my kiddos.  They slept and slept and slept!

"Look Mom I can do half moon!"

And indeed she was.  It's funny how much interest she has taken into yoga, the other day she was showing Mike her chataranga {which she pronounced shopping cart.}  I'm so excited for next week when we take a Mommy and Me yoga class, I think Ava in particular will have a ball.

We made it to the pool!  Then it got freezing cold again, so we haven't been back.

Cheers!  Fish fry at a friend's house.

Then there was this.  Poor little guy scratched his cornea, about 3 mm in length.  We really have no idea how he did it, he was in bed with Mike and I and just started crying about his eye.  Luckily as I type this it is all healed up and hasn't bothered him in a day or two.

We were also so lucky because Aunt Tiff and Uncle Jay came to visit us! The kids love their Aunt and Uncle so much, look at them snuggling up to Aunt Tiff!  

Yesterday was also a big day for Carter, he went to summer camp with the YMCA.  I was a little nervous because of the peanut allergy, and luckily everything went very smoothly.  He had such a good time that he didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up at two!  

Carter and Ava have also been doing vacation Bible School at a local church called Crosspoint.  It cracks me up because they are learning about St. Paul and ancient Greece.  They have a man dressed in a toga pretending to be St. Paul and telling them about his life.  Ava really doesn't understand because she keeps asking why does that man live at the church?  Why does he sit on pillows?  Why does he wear funny clothes?  Luckily Ava and Carter both really enjoy VBS and Ava hasn't had any separation anxiety at all.  So all in all, a good start to the summer with plenty of fun to come!
