Happy 4th!

Daddy and Maggie stayed home, but Mommy brought Charlie to the Fireworks after the baseball game!!!  Avery was there too!

Serious Goofin!


ICE!



Fireworks!




Happy Fourth!

Daddy's Birthday

Mama and Charlie and Maggie brought me donuts at work!

Hooray!

Maggie & Adelaide

These two are cute as can be!  And Adelaide doesn't take no guff from Maggie!

Swim Team Photos

Today we're going to Durham CHAMPS - the big meet.  Wish us luck!

In the meantime, a few weeks ago there was a photographer at the last swim meet - she got some great photos of Charlie!!

Hangin At the Y

Maggie walked out of child care at the Y looking like this.  So cool!

Beach with Nana T

Nana T is camera shy... but these kids had a blast with her at the beach!

Where's Maggie?

There she is!

Maggie is So Cool!

Look at this cool girl!

Cuties at the Beach!

It looks like we spend our whole summer at the beach.... well.... we do!

We had Nana T down for a nice weekend beach, trip too!  Pics of that soon.  For now, here are these cuties

Daddy & Maggie

Mommy and Charlie had a special date last Saturday - so Daddy and Maggie went to the museum.  But first... DONUTS!

Maggie & Addison

Maggie loves Avery's older sisters - Addison and Ella.

Here's Addison reading a book to Maggie - Maggie loved it!

Maggie & Eva

Eva is such a great big-sister, even to kids who aren't her little sister!!

Charlie & Daddy's Afternoon

We're going to the beach this weekend, but Charlie INSISTED that we have to stay for his swim meet on Saturday morning.  So Daddy and Charlie aren't leaving until Saturday lunch time (Mommy and Maggie are already there!)

We got off to a great start, with 2 hours of bike-riding!  That ended with a little scrape - nothing some PJ MASKS bandaids can't fix!



Up next?!  Q-Shack Dinner



And we closed the evening out with a beer and some skee-ball!  Charlie legitimately beat me twice.

This Girl Wears Lots of Hats

Literally!  3 Hats!

Hangin With Nell!

We have sone new (ish) neighbors (as of last September), and they have a little girl!  She's awesome, and she loves to play with Charlie and share her super cool dollhouse with Maggie!

Charlie's First Two Races!

He won two races, and his backstroke time placed him in the top 3 of all the 4-6 year olds!  He won a point for his team!

One More Day @ Marbles!

Eating some (plastic) grow food!


The kids have no idea what any of this means, but they knew it was cool.


Maggie in a cupboard!


The kids crawled into this pet cage!  So cute.

Doin Laps

Presented without comment!

Guess Who's Back?

It's Dada!  Look at Maggie's devilish grin!

Hitting the road

Since Wordpress broke, only Pete can make blog posts, and I'm going on vacation until Monday.  I sure will miss my Bre and my Charlie and my Maggie.

Here are two songs I'll be listening to when I'm missing my family -

Only One Thing Gets These Kids This Excited!

Yoga in the AM

There's a kids Yoga program called "Cosmic Kids" that is super fun.  Charlie and Mommy and sometimes even Maggie do it together!

A Whole New House?

Almost.

We had new windows, new baseboards, new gutters and new paint!

Before (with new windows)

Maggie Loves Walking Binky

Maggie Loves Walking Binky.  If the weather is nice after work, sometimes me and Maggie will go for a stroll while Charlie plays Basketball.

Look how cute!

In the Tunnel

There's a small system of tunnels at the museum.  Charlie loves them, and he loves to share his loves with Maggie!

Beach Silhouettes

Bre took these pictures a few weeks ago.  I am glad I took the day off :)

Maggie got a bit of a bump

Bre got this photo from pre-school.  YIKES!



She was so tough - she only cried for a second, and she looks much better now.

That's why we wear our adorable helmets!

Charlie Getting a Haircut!

There's an awesome place where kids get haircuts while being entertained!  Here's Charlie in is car (pink, of course) and watching his favorite show!

Enjoying his shorter hair later that evening watching TV

Oval Park

A few days ago we met Avery & Adelaide at Oval Park.
