Small things since my last visit home.....

My favorite picture from my June trip

Ballerinas

Donna's pie that Cooper managed not to get

Pre-wedding girlie time

At Lapham Peak. I love that they had Suki there!

Ashley working on the new front walkway

Starting the stone wall

Tree trimming. It looked like a hurricane came through.

I know this may not seem like a big deal, BUT we got the window on the left to open. FINALLY! It has been painted/stuck shut since we bought the house until this weekend (almost a year).

First roses from our garden

I knit these booties and finished them the day before the gift recipient found her new family!

Ashley, Sydney and Oliver. 2 days old - I'm guessing the smallest baby Ashley has ever held....

Long-time no blog!

So are there rules to how many pics you can post at one time?  If so, I think I'm about ready to break the rule.  Sorry for the long post.  These may not be in chronological order, but if I try to do that, it will never get posted:) 

One of my favorite recent pics of the girls - taken on Mother's Day.

Hershey State Track Meet

Love this pic!  So happy.

One of the few pics I got of Aunt Beth while she was home;)

Macy's first playdate.   Seriously, could Ethan be any cuter?

Morgan is very into not only helping with "meals" but being creative with her Kids Cookbook.  How do you like them  hotdog/octopus?

The girls wanted to have a sleep over in the basement together.  I put Macy on the end so I could scoop her up before I went to bed so she would be upstairs for the night (in case she needed anything).  When I got downstairs and I saw how she had snuggled up to Brooke and had her arm around her, I didn't have the heart to move her.  They all slept like logs:)

Fishing in Presque Isle

Who knew you could fit that much kayaking into one trip?!

Picture of B taken with Abbey at Nick Stover's wedding.  It's amazing how similar their mannerisms are.  Matt and I call Brooke a mini Abbey. 

Look who turned 3!

4th of July pool party - look at how high Jahnke threw Owen!  And check out the line  of "wanna be's" behind him.

Macy wasn't very fond of the loud fire crackers on Saturday night...

...or the clowns, mascots, and other parade characters on Sunday.  Her eyes were closed for most of the parade - LOL

Brooke on the other hand was pretty proud that not only was she in the parade, but she held her pee for 2.5 hours!

This was after her ballet recital in June.  We put all of the flowers she received into one bouquet. 

Visiting at Deb's on Beth's visit home

LOVE the skirt with the cleats.  

I know I emailed this to everyone, but don't want to lose the memory - what a fun day.
