Philly

Wait, what?  It's almost the weekend again?  And you say it's Memorial Day Weekend?  Yikes!  I'd better post pictures from LAST weekend before it's a distant memory.

We went to Philly!  And played with the cousins!

And shot rockets through hoops in the air!

And rode carousels...

(some of us for the first time)...

We were brave in sprinklers...

And painted beautiful frames.

...and then fell asleep like three angels on the ride home.

Thanks Mary and Chris, & Bill and Cynthy for a super great Sunday!

Mira's 9 month stats

Mira's 26-1/4 inches long and 17 pounds, 5 ounces.  That puts her at 5th percent for height and 25th percent for weight.  The little monkey is all thighs and grins.

For comparison's sake (we only have multiple children so we can compare them, right?) Ellie was 26.9 inches and 17 pounds, 11 ounces at 9 months.  And Gabe was....(frantically searching the blog history....ummmm....crickets....) apparently I didn't write down Gabe's 9 month stats.  Oops!

Mothers Day Picnic

This may be my favorite day of the year...

Daddy multitasking.

Off on an adventure!

My new favorite picture.

Our Mothers Day Buddies.  Long live tradition.

Let's play ball!  (Until he got bonked in the nose with the wiffle ball.  There may have been tears.)

Photobomb!

Gabe making the hard decisions.

Firewood!  You should have seen him trying to make a fire.

My other new favorite picture.

The kids were STOKED they had carte blanche to eat as much bread as they wanted.

Dad and Gabe coming back from their adventure walk.  

Pony!

A shot taken by a friend at the FIRST party last weekend.  There was a pony.  Of course there was a pony.  And now someone wants a pony.  Say it again, PONY!

Surprise Day!

Our  nanny called in sick, so we get to play!

Photo Booth Hilarity

Well, that was a weekend.  We started with a Saturday morning birthday party, then straight to a Cinco de Mayo party, then I hopped a train in to the city for an evening work event and stayed overnight in Brooklyn because I had to work another event early Sunday morning.  Then, on to the LIRR out to Ronkonkoma where Brian and the kids met me for yet ANOTHER party.  Phew!  But this party had a photo booth!

And look, ma!  All five!
