Random pictures and Grammy's birthday

I am getting worse and worse at updating the blog so I figured I would get some pictures up quickly and then caption them if I had time. It certainly is not a matter of having nothing to talk about or nothing going on - there is always something going on on this house!
One day this week Annie woke up for the day at 3:45 a.m. She proceeded to fall asleep at 7 a.m. covered in blankets!

The birthday girl and just a few of her grandchildren! The kids were excited for icecream cake and to find out how old Grammy was!



Grammy and the girls opening presents!


I would like to say that grammy gets the royal treatment on her birthday but we never have any idea what to get her. This year Karla and I got her the same thing - books! In our world you can never have too many books!

One day last week I was having a bad day so the kids walked to Stop and Shop with Bob and got me flowers. What a lucky mom, I am!

One of the greatest blessings in the H-W house is the swing set that my parents neighbors gave us when their kids outgrew it. I am amazed at how often we are outside in the yard pushing swings and playing thanks to that wonderful playscape!



KK and Ellie on the swings.
Lizzie loves to do anything that her big sister does so she is actually learning to pump her legs already! Molly is such a wonderful big sister - she spends a whole lot of time pushing Lizzie and Annie on the swings and teaching them how to pump their legs to keep going!

Ellie grabbing for leaves! Yes - she is still in her pajamas - we have actually had neighbors offer to help us buy shoes for our kids because they are always outside in their pajamas and with no shoes on. I happen to love the grass between my toes so I don't worry too much about it!
Lizzie loves her fluff!
Auntie Beth sent us one of her famous care packages and the kids had a blast!
Lizzie all decked out thanks to Auntie Beth!
That's it for now! Lots more to post later!
GNM - ILY!
