Stevie's wedding weekend

I haven't had much time for blogging lately, but here are some photos from our fun weekend surrounding Steve and Cindy's wedding. We also got to meet sweet Fiona and had some fun with Uncle Justin...more to come later!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Here are some shots of our Fourth of July in Scituate... I think the girls knew it was going to be a great day when they woke up to special donuts with red white and blue sprinkles; perfect fuel for the day's activities. The neighborhood has a parade for the kids, who decorate their bikes and wagons and scooters....as you can see the girls had a wonderful time! The rest of the day was spent at the beach, where Kateri got as sandy as humanly possible, Lili worked on her boogie boarding skills, and Audrey made sandcastles and jumped in the waves with Bowker. We enjoyed a delicious meal of smoked ribs a la Papa and capped off the evening with fireworks at the beach. Ahh..the Fourth of July in Scituate...they know how to do it right!

First Day in Scituate

Our first day in Scituate: rainy and cool but tons of fun. Nanny and Papa dug up some nice fresh worms from the garden and off to the reservoir they went. They caught plenty of fish, but the cream of the crop was the four pound bass Audrey caught...about as long as her arm.

Where's your tongue

Happy Father's Day

Just wanted to share the girls' Father's Day cards. Audrey's is the one on green cardstock (she is insistent about using her loved ones' favorite colors) She was a little offended when we complemented her on a lovely merman Daddy...he is actually soaring up towards a basketball hoop and the flipper-like appendages are his feet. Lili made a little book about things her Daddy likes to do. This one is Luke working on his computer..I like the little computer mouse she drew, as well as Luke's impeccable posture and formal attire. Thanks to Miss Emily, who had the bright idea of using photos of the Daddies' heads and having the kids draw their own bodies..

Cooking with Uncle Steve and Aunt Cindy

I've said it before; my kids are so lucky in that they have fun aunts and uncles who take time to do fun things with them... Uncle Steve is in town preparing to marry the lovely Cindy Parks next week. The girls are thrilled to have their soon to be Aunt Cindy around as well. Steve and Cindy made a delicious meal with Audrey and Lili "helping" in the kitchen, which I can assure you requires a lot of patience.

Uncle Jon's worst nightmare...GLITTER

Check out Audrey'e knees after some glittery crafting...and yes, even though I insisted that anyone who wanted to glitter do so out on the porch, if made its way inside quite rapidly. Kateri's pudgy body basically acted like a giant marshmallowy lint roller as she crawled around and by noon she was all sparkly.

And yes, Audrey is sporting her favorite hairstyle: "crazy lady who lives next door with 12 cats..."
