A Lazy Sunday afternoon with Mihals

We had our dear friends Sean, Laurie, Penelope, and Annabelle over for a lazy Sunday BBQ, and while it was chaotic, it was lovely to just play in the Garden and be silly!

Feeley Cat and Hank!

Hanks loved by all, but lately Feeley Cat has really taken to his dog!

Fifi's back!

Fifi was Levi's 1st friend at his new pre-school. Sadly she moved away after 4 months, but she still has his heart. Like Levi, Fifi is a free spirit and watching the two of them together melts our hearts. He even made her a birthday cake today out of paper as a welcoming gift (although it wasn't her birthday). 

Arranged marriage. check!

Levi and his best gal pals...Penelope and Fifi

Just a casual Sunday at the park eating ice cream

Grandaddy and Granny Franny come for a visit!

 Grandaddy and Granny Franny came for a week to see the new neighborhood, meet baby Gus and play with Levi and Felix.

 

One of Levi's highlights was fixing bits and bobs around the house with Grandaddy!

Who does't love connect 4?

Billy helped watch the boys while I had Grad school Fri/ Sat/ Sun..so he was BUSY!

Baby Gus took to Grandaddy extremely well and nestled right in for snuggles

  

We took the gang to a an exhibit on Jackie Robinson. The highlight for the boys was eating hot dogs!

 

It appeared John enjoyed the exhibit!

Play Dates in Seattle!

We were in town for only 3 days, but the boys and I managed to see some of our favorite friends.

Baby Gus finally met my dear friend Laura. Levi and her son, Calvin (who shares the same bday as Felix), had a play date at the Seattle Children's Museum

Travel Days...

I've concluded there really isn't anything more exciting for a 4 year old than taking a flight. Here are some of my favorite photos from the flight up to Seattle and the way back!

Headed to Seattle

Highlight of all flights includes snack pack and watching a movie

Levi insisted on a picture w/ the whale at Sea-Tac

Travel days are hard work!

Levi, Gus, and I visit Grandaddy and Grandmommy

I had a Guild meeting in Seattle, so I decided to take Levi and Gus with me so they could spend some time with Grandaddy and Grandmommy. The boys loved every minute of it. Now I need to do a trip with Felix!
