A Hefty Dose of Phone Photos

 My bathing buddies.

 She likes to wear her rain-boots all the time.

 Eleanor's hair is getting long on top.

 We watched a friend's son for a day/night so it was technically Ethan's first sleepover.

 Ethan and Simon at Chuck E. Cheese's for a friend's birthday party.

 We house/garden/chicken-sat for some friends. The fresh eggs made it all worth it.

 

These ladies provided hours of entertainment for Ethan and Eleanor for the last week.

 

 Ethan with yet another Lego set. This one was from a co-worker of mine, Kelsey, for Ethan's birthday. Ethan loves Kelsey for obvious reasons.

 

 After thinking that the train table took up too much space downstairs we moved it into the attic.

 

 Now the kids have a little play space and I have a sewing space in our attic. It's hot, but it's big.

 Ethan finished his first year of preschool. It's off to School 23 in the Park Avenue neighborhood for preschool next year. We had an end of the year celebration at a park.

 Eleanor loves the playground but would rather hang around me and nag me for hours instead of playing on her own.

 What Eleanor does love is popcorn.

 She also loves her brother, and ice cream.

 And of course the Museum of Play.

 

 Just another Sunday dinner at the Mudricks. We tried our hand at making these crispy potatoes and shoestring onion rings. Both were a success.

On Monday, Ben and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. He got this beautiful arrangement from a floral shop by our old apartment downtown in the colors of our wedding. I loved the card he got for the occasion too.

Ben and I went out to dinner for our anniversary at a local restaurant called Rocco. It was delicious!
