Being Home & May Holidays

It's been really great to see family and have family get to play and snuggle with these kiddos.  It's been nice to sit and visit on a regular basis.  All in all, we've been having a lot of fun.  Here are a few miscellaneous pictures that we've taken over the course of the last month of living here.

I'm fairly certain all of these pictures are out of order.  Here's to shaking things up a bit ;)

Jimmie and Lorelei at the Memorial Day parade in Medford

Jimmie enjoying building his unique block creations

Jim and I got to go on a date without kids for the first time in a while in honor of my birthday

Pretty blurry, but we made some little gifts for the Mom's in our lives from the kiddos for Mother's Day

Jimmie LOVES this wagon

Memoria Day

Always fun having a pool! Jimmie likes it sometimes and doesn't love it other times.

Most of the time he will at least sit on the step though

This girl just LOVES to chew on her hands!!

Memorial day food!

One of Jimmie's favorite things to do is wear other people's shoes around.  So if he's around, and you can't find your shoes...just ask this kid!

Memorial Day

This girl is getting so big...

She officially goes in the bouncer!  She's not a huge "jumper" right now, but she loves to stand and sway and look around.  Her other new favorite thing is grabbing her toes.  She's getting so big!

Going to swim

Grandma with Lorelei

Stephanie and Karsten came to visit from Seattle.  They got here the day after my birthday and will be here for 2 weeks!  Kirsten is 5 months younger than Jimmie and BOY! are they quite the little dynamic duo.  I think they like each other JUST a bit :)

...and Karsten LOVES that pool

We've been having a lot of fun back home.  We sure appreciate all of the help and support that everyone has given.  Couldn't ask to be part of a better family.
