At the park with the boys.

Picking flowers and playing soccer with the boys! They are both soccer talents for sure.

Swimming lessons

Evie swims every week and is practicing for her swimming 'license'. She is doing great, look at her jumping into the pool from the diving board!!!

Reading on the couch

Little Benjamin's firtst attempt reading. Of course he's just being a goof!

Play-doh

Benjamin is loving the play-doh this morning! Of course, he is most interested in taking it in and out of the container, but that is to be expected. He's only tried to eat it a dozen times, so that's good, too.

Mother's Day Legos

Today Liz was treated to a delicious pancake breakfast after being able to stay in bed until it was ready. She got some lovely presents from the kids, including two new lego sets. Legos for Liz?!? Yes, indeed! Look at how cool these sets are! As soon as Benjamin went down for his nap, it was playtime!

Birthday Party

Yesterday Felix had his birthday party with friends from school. He invites five boys and his sister to lunch at home followed by a visit to the indoor playground. It was very successful!!

Bye-bye, Facebook

We've done it.  Tom and I have both departed the Facebook scene.  There wasn't any one thing that drove either one of us away.  We just realized we were done.  From a blog perspective, I see that the more active I was on Facebook, the less active the blog got.  It got so far that there was a two and a half year break of blog posts.  A whole pregnancy and infancy completely absent.  But I'm fixing that now!  With all the extra time I have now that I am not scrolling my news feed, I am finally getting around to playing catch-up.  Pretty soon, looking back, one may not even realize that the blog ever was inactive... That's my goal, at least.
 

Felix 5 Years!

Yesterday we celebrated Felix's fifth birthday with friends and family. The weather was great, so we were all outside. Felix was spoiled with lots of new Lego sets and wasted no time getting started. Tuesday is his real birthday, and Wednesday he will have his (first) birthday party with friends from school.

Sharing a smoothie

Now and then we treat ourselves with a smoothie. Healthy and yummy! And Benjamin loves it too.
