Wow - I have a lot of blogging to do and only ten minutes before my bedtime! First off - Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Fathers in my life - I have never really focused the blog on either of my parents but fully intend to at some point - if for no other reason than for my children to know all of the wonderful things that I do about my parents. My father is an inspiration to me every day - in the way he loves my mother, the way he still fathers his children (and in-law children) and the kind of grandfather he is to his grandchildren. My father is loving in everything he does and I feel blessed to be his child!
Ellie had a visit at DCF with her and Peter's Tummy Mommy, Shawnte! I sent along my camera so that she could take some pictures!
Sweet Baby Girl!
I love this picture - Ellie looks so long and she is so incredibly relaxed! I also see so much of Peter in Shawnte's smile.
Playing together!

Digging!
It was so nice to see Bob and Annie out in the garden having fun. This week has been hard for Bob after burying his Dad's ashes yesterday. Planting a garden is something Bob really wanted to do with the kids because it is some of his best memories of his dad. Annie and Molly were wonderful and made the day so special by just hanging out with Bob and talking and helping out.
KK got the twins matchign dresses - I tried and tried to get some good pictures but, although they were happy they just did not cooperate.
Annie was imitating my face when i got frustrated with the babies!
We thought we would try a different pose but that didn't turn out so well either.
Molly and Daddy did the planting later in the day - right before the rain.
Lizzie sat in the grass watching the planting while Annie and Ellie slept.
I love this smile - it just melts my heart!
We do feed her - I swear!
This is what Pete did while we were planting. In all fairness for most of the morning he was wonderful babysitting the babies in the house while we dug and did other landscaping work.
I love those hands.
Molly wrote the what we were planting - so cute!
One of Bob's father's Day presents was this wonderful sprinkler - so cool.
Most of my gardeners - how cute are they?
Karla took Patrick out for his birthday tonight so we got to hang out with our sweetie pie, Katie!
Blueberries on the tongue - lovely!
Everytime Katie put a blueberry in her mouth she cheered for herself - we were all happy to cheer along!
Annie imitating katie!
