Ring around the rosie

My sister Holly and her son Noah came for a visit from Maryland. We had a lot of fun watching Lyla and Noah play together.

Noah and Lyla kiss

It was fun to see my neice and nephew play together while Holly and Noah were here for a visit. They are only 4 days apart and had alot of fun together.

A New Friend

We went to the in-laws yesterday for a BBQ and croquet. It was a lovely day. The only pictures I managed to rustle up were of us and this adorable chihuahua that my distant sister-in-law brought. She was a puppy mill rescue dog. SO sweet. She really liked Nathaniel and snuggled up on the couch next to him for little nap.

Cute little Lyla!

Laura and I stayed with Em this weekend because Nick was out of town. We couldn't get enough of our little niece!

Having fun with her toys.




Hanging out on Mom's bed.



Having lunch with the girls at Olive Garden.




In the car, she pulled Laura's hand and held it on her chest! So cute! She loved playing with Laura's necklace.



With Auntie Laura at church...


and Auntie Katie.



All the girls together. Thanks for the fun weekend!

I took this video of Gramma Thompson's yard right before we moved out of her house. I knew that I would miss it.

My computer crashed and died a few years ago. I gave it to my brother Mark because he likes to tinker with things. He was able to somehow resussitate it! I got these videos off of the computer and it wouldn't let me burn it onto a disc or email it to myself so this is the only way that I could figure out how to be able to save these cherished memories. Sorry that it is so fuzzy

Here is a video of Laura opening a birthday present from Emily and I.
