Visitors

Over the past 3 weeks we've had 3 different families visit. We had a great time reconnecting. My cousin Todd (pictured below) and wife Sharon with their 4 children.

My friend Sue (above) and her husband Dan and their 3 children.

My dear friend Shanda and her husband Gary and their 3 children.

Big Sisters

Annika and Lauren are the best big sisters!

Sleepover

Annika and Olivia had their first sleepover last weekend. They had lots of fun.

They watched Winnie the Pooh and talked until 10:30 before falling asleep. No double dog dare. . .yet.

Joseph the caregiver!

Mandy - the master multi-tasker.

Mandy put it best when she said, "tennis anyone?" These cute skirts are gifts from Mandy (thanks to Mike's old shirt).

June Happenings

Basement camping with Daddy. . .complete with late night showing of "Winnie the Pooh." We've transitioned both girls to formula/bottles. Audrey refused initially so we dropped her off for a day at Mary's house with a bottle. Thanks, Mary! Here's Karl with one of her first bottle feeds (yes, she required walking around in the Bjorn to take it).

Annika and Lauren love to ride their bike and scooter down the "big" hill at our park.

Lauren is often too tired to make it back up the hill. Daddy to the rescue!

Making their presence known

Leaving the house these days is a real treat. Returning home, however, often times is not. Sometimes I hear the crying before I even open the door. Karl decided to make it a photo op the last time I left the house. . .
