conversations with Laila

Recently Laila drew me a picture. She gave it to me and told me about all the different colors that she used. When she got to white she said, "this color is white, it's not a very interesting color; it's not a favorite color of the rainbow." I love the age she is at now, 2 year olds say some of the cutest things!

from this weekend...

happy fourth of july!

summer vacation

We recently returned from vacation. We stayed at a beach house overlooking the ocean. It was nice to be able to take the kids swimming each day; they had so much fun playing in the waves. Cleaning up four kids and the sandy mess afterwards was not so much fun! Brian and the boys went on a boat several miles offshore to go fishing. Each of the boys caught a small shark, which they were very excited to tell me about when they got home. Poor Aiden was the only one out of the group who got sea sick and he threw up several times. Everyone had lots of fun and Ava cried when it was time to leave.
