Nana's Turn to Meet Danny

This past weekend, Nana came to visit from New Jersey! It was so fun to see her and another weekend of the boys being spoiled rotten. We had gorgeous weather (record setting in fact) and just hung out. Mom was able to sneak away for a much needed hair cut while Dad and Nana played. Thanks also for helping Dad hang the pendants in the kitchen (finally). We loved having you and can't wait to have you come back.

Danny getting some zzzz's. One of his favorite past times (of course a good thing :)

Playing at Dinosaur Park

This rocker has seen much action recently. It soothes Danny quite well. Comfy cozy...

Snuggled up, fast asleep

Danny's other hang out - the kitchen counter and bouncey seat on the kitchen counter - lucky guy :)

Ready to swing

High Five!

Nana is so creative building blocks and lining up the cars. Fun!

Big brother Tommy opening his Big brother present - one lucky little boy!

Nana comes on the "airplane" so the perfect gift. Check out my cool airplane.

I love seeing all my cousins on Nana's camera.

Happy Halloween & Gigi Comes Back to Visit

It was a fun, fall weekend and perfect for Halloween. Gigi came back to visit and we LOVED having her here. We had 2 Halloween parties and by Sunday night all of us were beat!! A neighbor hosted us for a daytime celebration and then we had the gang over for some play. Tommy went as a Jayhawk and we were asked multiple times "who went to KU" and then tried to explain what big fans we are despite not going there. Thanks Aunt Beth for the perfect costume.

A family shot with our little Jayhawk and cute cow!

Ballerina Claire striking a pose with her parents Sarah & Matt - quite the character!

Mom and her boys - no hat wanting to stay on

The gang - Danny the cow at 6-weeks, Lucy Mills the Oreo at 3.5 months, Finley "milk" at 23-months, Claire ballerina at 15 months, Liam Madden pirate at 17.5 months, Reese de Gortari bunny 6-months

Not long ago the parents were the ones dressing up and winning the contests - oompa loompas, We are the World, Ghost Busters to name a few - how quickly times can change...

Grandma & Grandpa Meet Danny

Danny is growing and changing like crazy and so fun to watch. Tommy is doing the same and learning new things everyday!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit from FL and we had a nice visit. Hung out, played in the yard, got our 2nd haircut which was not one of our favorite activities but we survived. We were so glad they came to see us and meet little Danny. Thanks for coming and we'll see you soon!

Best buds!

Gentle touches Tommy!

Peek-a-boo!

Hugs (working on not pushing so hard)!

I had so much fun playing with Grandpa!

I got to sit in this really cool "wee-o, wee-o" but still didn't like it. Distractions included looking at pictures on Grandma's phone, a dum dum, "watching" Beauty and the Beast. Good thing the stylist was pretty fast.

"Mad May" just waiting for fall-out as always.

A deep discusion over dinosaurs!

Keeping Danny nice and calm!

More playtime

More of our old man winter...

Starting to get some smiles, although not really captured here. More smiles to come :)
