Happy 4th!

We celebrated our nation's birthday by hosting Lorraine's family, and lots of silliness.

Here comes summer!

June brought us some hot days, and Cooper's achievement ceremony, celebrating his last year in preschool!  (It also brought us a new nephew, courtesy of Scott and Jodi.)  And we were happy to host cousins Rita, Joy, Ted, and Connor!

May days!

After returning from Disney, we settled back into our usual hectic life.  We played outside, and we enjoyed the not-so-hot spring that we had.

Disney, Part 4

The last two days at Disney World we revisited Magic Kingdom and Epcot one last time. We also made sure to take advantage of the pools one last time.

The boys cooling off.

Goofy, Mickey and Minnie!

Goodbye Disney!  Thanks for a great trip!

Disney, Part 3

After Parker's birthday party, we headed over to Epcot.  Which, surprisingly, turned out to be the boys' favorite park.  Who knew? We again got to see lots of Disney characters, and also sampled lots of international food as we strolled the grounds.  Yum!

Yay!  We see Mickey!

Well, the idea of the picture was a good one.
