Pittsburgh Zoo

Today, we took the kids to the zoo. We went early in the day to see the animals before it got to hot. The kids had a blast!

Siblings

Yesterday, we got a great picture of Lily and Ben sitting together after dinner. Enjoy!

Blueberries

Ben loves blueberries. He can't get enough of them. This past weekend we went blueberry picking with Grammy and Ben, just like little Sal from Blueberries for Sal, ate his way through the field. He even picked mostly purple ones!

Lily doesn't eat blueberries, but she sure loves to pick them! She filled her bucket all the way up.

A Visit with Granny

This past weekend we went to NJ to visit Granny, who recently moved up from Florida.

Ben loves his towel Grammy made

Before Ben was born, Grammy embroidered two bath sheets. Lily uses a purple one with the m & m dudes, and she "gave" the blue one with Sesame Street and Mickey characters to Ben. He is obsessed with it. So much so that he pulled it out of the basket of laundry I was folding and snuggled/attacked it.

Ballet Recital 2012

Last year Lily was so nervous at her first recital she wouldn't let us take her picture afterwards.  This year I got smart and got there early to take her picture before they even started.

 

 

Pool Snack

This weekend, we joined a new pool for the summer. To celebrate, we got ice cream from the snack bar. Someone really enjoyed there's!
