Round Two, For Them, Not Us

This week we had the pleasure of celebrating our friend Lily’s 2nd birthday at a little BBQ.  Lily got some pretty cool new toys including a sand box, and the boys had a great time helping her to break it in. 

Bodie even showed Ruby how the boys play by throwing sand in her face—sorry Ruby! 

We checked out the garden and did our best to try to not pick all of the growing vegetables…

While the toys were fun, the biggest attraction were Emily and Becky’s 2nd round of babies!  Emily welcomed baby Isla in April and Becky welcomed baby Ian in May!  And of course we soaked up the cuteness.

Soren was very interested in the babies which really surprised us since he has been pretty consistent with his stating the babies “freak” him out. And he couldn’t get enough of holding baby Isla. 

Baby Ian slept for most of the visit so Soren didn’t’ get a chance to hold him. On the way home Soren said “Ah, Shucks!  I didn’t get a chance to hold baby Ian. Maybe next time”—His attitude, behavior towards, and words with the babies were so shocking and really showed us how much of a big boy he has become. And in true Super-Dad fashion, Kevin jumped right in there, started his calming sway and did some baby whispering. It just doesn’t get any cuter!

 

Happy 2nd Birthday to Lily!  Congratulations on Round Two to Emily, Phil, Becky, and DJ! It seems like just yesterday I was the one celebrating the 2nd Round. Oh how time flies!
