Groove of Summer-

 Relaxing ...

 Dance parties ...

and chilling by the pool ...

I think we've finally got into the groove of summer.

Babies and Zoo Robots

Nora loves to play with the baby dolls at Bubba's house. 

Some family members find them super creepy  but not Miss Miss.

Ben built this zoo robot the other night. He cracks us up!

Nurse Nora

Nora was very concerned about Joe after his knee surgery. She was right there to offer plenty of extra cuddles for Daddy. She's a true Daddy's Girl!

Last Day of Kindergarten-

Ben had a great school year and learned soooo much. I can't believe we have a FIRST GRADER in our house!! Here he is at the end-of-the-year picnic with his class and an impromptu hug with all the Night Owl boys (Ben is near his teacher in the top photo and beyond the red head in the second photo). Happy summer!

2012 Grandkids Photo-

Here is our attempt to get a photo of the grandkids for Bebe's birthday. It was tricky and we almost lost Maggie in the lake (Aunt Anne's fault ... sorry Mags, love you!). But in the end we got one shot.

... and here they are from almost the same weekend in 2011. My how they've grown!

Let's get caught up!

 Ben is really into **MAGIC** these days.

He would love to show you one of his tricks.

 Happy 3rd Birthday Miss Maggie McK!

 Nora only wants to feed herself, and it's usually super messy!

It was a Happy Mother's Day for this mama!

Easter

 Attempt #105 of our family photo ...

 Ben got Grandad's memo to be twins for the day!

Nora found her Easter basket right away.

 It took Ben a few hours to find his basket.

(it was hanging under coats on the hall tree ... that silly Easter Bunny!)

 Nora loves her swing time with Bubba & Grampy!
