Summertime Fun

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. The kids and I have been soaking up what's left of summer. Elliot starts back to school in two weeks! Even though they drive me crazy sometimes, I really like having everyone home together. Plus, I don't wanna have to wake up early, though I think Elliot is ready to go.



A rare pensive moment for Catherine,who always is so creative with her outfits. Santa should still be remembered in July!
I didn't have to wonder for long to find out what she was thinking about.
"If I am more polite for the next five minutes, do I still have to take a nap?


Who knew there would be so many benefits of getting Victoria's hips re-located! Now she can have piggy back rides!


I love seeing Victoria standing and playing like everyone else.


We got to have a really fun visit with my friend, Melanie, and her five kids. We pretty much filled up the swimming pool with all ten of our kids.


We had a real treat today. A visit from Great! Victoria greeted her with a big, "hiiiiiiiyaaaa". Great has moved into an assisted living community recently, so we had a wonderful time hanging out at home together!


Francesca always closes her eyes when I get out my camera.


Othello decided to take a seat right on the couch and join in the pizza party.


Hope everyone has had a good week!
