Good Friends...

Tonight our good friends came over and we got to spend an evening with them before leaving next week.

Briggs, Tate and Avery play so well together and he looks up to them both so much. They didn't waste any time playing baseball in the backyard then hitting the tennis balls back and forth in the road--yes, you read that right; we let our kids play in the road. We will definitely miss our kid friendly neighborhood and street!!!

Brooklyn loves to play with the girls and Lydia and Eden love her as much as she loves them! Brooklyn also enjoyed teasing Tad; she is usually not that open and friendly with people other than her family! She was being a silly girl. She also sat on Erica's lap and left her a little wet surprise when she got up...oops!!

Ethan also decided that it was worth a 1/2 more brownie if he'd stand up and walk to me--and he did it. We are so excited for him!

Silly faces!

Briggs says this is his mustache...funny kiddo!

She needs a little sister....that's what I think!! Not an announcement!

Tad and Erica

Loves from daddy!

Big girl!

Sweet girls...

Ethan requested a picture with someone! Why not me!! Do I really look like I'm going to be 30 this year??!?!? Rhetorical question--please don't answer that! I see the crows feet ;-) My boys think I'm so old already!! Still worth the picture to love that little boy of mine!

Ethan's street graffiti

It's times like these, and pictures like these that will remind us of those care-free summer nights here in Ohio with all sorts of kids playing games together, riding bikes, scooters, sidewalk chalk and playing ball together--love it. We'll definitely miss it!

Ethan taught Lydia how to scoot around on your bum lifting one of your legs straight up in front of you. This was before he decided to walk on it! Funny boy!

Goofy girl! She was so silly tonight!

Hollllllldddd onnnnn!!!!

Silly Lydia!
