Splashing

It's not supposed to be 80 again for a month, so we got out the new splash pad. Isi is not convinced, just like each other 2 year old wasn't.

Camp

Six kids went with Justin camping this weekend. They "treated head wounds"

Max only stayed one night, but he was so pleased to be included. He loved it.

Tessa and Bernadette

The kids can't get enough of this baby. There's an elaborate system of who gets to hold her during each decade of the Rosary.

She's watching Paw Patrol raptly.

Boats

Max and Isi made boats to put their string in when Loki isn't chasing it.

Baby smiles

She's so happy when she wakes up

New chairs

I got some proper chairs for the front porch for my birthday and Isi is enjoying them. (Nora used to love this dress!)

2 months!

Happy 2 month birthday to this delight!

Chicks

The chicks like to come outside and play but they are FAST. Lucy's grabbed two and is trying to keep the rest out from under the porch.

Lotion

These two wanted their picture taken with bits of lotion on them. Not sure why they both crouched.

May crowning

We had a May crowning after Mass and Father asked the girls to participate. He specifically wanted Isi too, and he knows what she's like. 😂

(That's a statue of Mary, if you're not familiar with the tradition. May is Mary's month.)

Admirers

These two can't get enough of her

This wasn't even staged, they both kissed her simultaneously. They argue over who gets to hold her first. Being the bigger sibling is always exciting.

Smiles

I deny all bias. This is the cutest baby in the world.

Milkshakes

We got milkshakes at 5 guys. Mmmmmm

Bird watching

The birds were scared away by the noise but we tried

First communion

Her godmother Julie came for the weekend too! It was very special.

First communion

Nora has been so excited for so long and it came today!
