Lily's Dance "Show"

Lily has been eagerly awaiting the day of her ballet "show."  I kept calling it a recital and kept getting corrected. Here is a video of her "solo."

Sam's Bar-Mitzvah

This past weekend the whole family packed up and went to Chicago for Sam's bar-mitzvah.  Here are some pictures from our adventure.

Can you tell Lily liked this game?

Happy Baby in the Morning!

Ben was so happy this morning I had to take a little video.

Ready for the pool!

The bathing suit was so big on him I had to take it in!  Ben didn't go in the pool because he is too little for a swim diaper.  But he looks so handsome!

Lily and the "pouch"

I have been carrying Ben around in a front carrier recently. Tonight, Lily decided to carry her baby around in a pouch like I carry Ben. Jake and I were in stitches.

Two Monkeys in the Tub

Tonight, as a time saving measure, we decided to put both kids in the tub together... well, Ben was still in the infant tub, and then we filled up the big tub around that for Lily.  But they both enjoyed it!

"I don't scream in the tub anymore like I did the first few times!  And my washcloth keeps me nice and warm."
