Our life lately....

A couple of weeks ago, Andrew's mom and her husband came for a visit. We enjoyed having them here, and they even watched to kids one day so that Andrew and I could go out on a date! We always appreciate the opportunity to go out and have some fun without our little mini-mes.

The kids with Nonni!

Saying good-bye!

A few days after our company left, I celebrated my birthday. As a birthday tradition, I always make the kids a birthday banner to hang on the mantle. Well, this year they surprised me with this little number!

Me and my girlie!

Love my kiddos....

Andrew and I!

A few other things we've been up to lately....

Sadie got her first haircut! Yes, she's 4, and yes, this really is her first haircut. Just a trim, actually, to even things out a bit. Big thanks to my friend, Kim, for doing a great job!

Parker started soccer again....

....and Sadie started gymnastics, which she loves.

Sadie loves puzzles and does them. Every. Day.

We found this playhouse for a steal on Craigslist and the kids love it!

Having a sleepover!

Parker is doing great in 1st grade, and just today we went on a field trip through the neighborhood around the school!
