Make a Little Room

Well, it's a good thing Anya and Benjamin are adding another place to the table!

-

And we might need an extra-wide crosswalk for our next outing!

And we are definitely going to need to find a bigger swing set!

(Yes, every swing in this picture is occupied by our family!)

Because ...

this sweet quartet ...

just became a quintet!

-

Welcome to the family Baby Daniel!

We can't wait to meet you!

Love,

Ada Marie, Benjamin, Mommy, & Daddy

Daddy is not usually a fan of Mommy's healthy recipes ...

Family Fun Night: Welcome to the Hotel Alabama

So, this week we did Family Fun Night in a hotel room ...

We blew up balloons, had treats, and colored pictures!

Daddy brought us takeout!

And we had a lot of fun together!

Ada enjoyed decorating with stickers ...

But, Benjamin was a little worn out from all the excitement!

Cow Day

So, in case you didn't know.

"Cow Day" was July 11.

That means if you dress like a cow, Chick-fil-a will

give you a FREE meal (of your choice)!

-

We had some funny cows ...

Some cute cows ...

& one very pretty little cow!

Benjamin was asleep when we got there ...

we put a hat on him & they still gave him a free meal ...

David was happy to eat it for him!

Happy Cow Day!

Daddy Daughter Date: Cars 2

I was thrilled to go to the movies with Daddy to see Cars2.

I also got to pick out a book to remember the occasion.

Now I call our car "Lightening McQueen."
