What Ty does during "rest time"

A visit from friends

Last weekend we were treated to a visit from our friends from Indiana who moved down the street from us in New York. We had a great time catching up and spending time together. The kids played great together...Tyler was so excited to see his good friend Reece (and I think Megan may be developing a little crush :) ).

The men took time out for some serious golfing..

...and a train ride.

Happy 4th birthday Tyler!

It's hard to believe just 4 years ago we were in the hospital in Lafayette, Indiana celebrating the birth of our beautiful little boy.

Just look at him now...still beautiful, not so little.

He acts more and more like a little man every day. He's so sweet, sensitive, funny, outgoing, and loving. He calms me down when I overreact and reminds me not to take life so seriously. We're so blessed to have him in our lives.

Is something stinky?

We're not sure where this came from, but her new "trick" is pretty cute.

Granny and Grandpa visit our new home

Last week we were treated to a week-long visit from Granny and Grandpa. As you can see from the pictures, we had a great time during a week that included another show and train ride at Burke Lake Park, a drive-in movie, frozen custard, some fun time in the pool, and much more.

Are we there yet?

Here are the numbers from our vacation a couple of weeks ago:

8 days, 40 hours in the car with a 7 month old and 3.5 year old...

13 cousins visited...

...and a great time had by all.
