getting presents

B:

We got a box in the mail from Grandma Ellen, and we got some presents out of it from Grandma Ellen and Sr. Marianne. 

My mom was putting out stuff so we could see what to choose from.

I got a jewel to put on a necklace, and I got a star, and I got a wooden circle box, and I got a book, and a big box.

Everybody is happy with their r

Cullen was standing there with a coin in his hand. He was very excited excited about the coin.

It was very hot. So hot that all we could do was lay there and do nothing. If you did anything else, you get too hot. We have popsicles to stay cool.

first day of school

The kids started school on Monday. 

Here's Tucker, ready and excited for sitting all day at school.

movie night

N:

Tonight we watched a movie. We watched it at Megan's house. Matt brought the movie. It was The Incredibles 2. No, Incredibles 1. It was good.

We ate pizza.

This is what happens when you force Matthew into a picture.

Apparently it's a good movie.

We had guests who had lice,. No signs for us, luckily, but all the kids have coconut oil in their hair just in case. That's why they're all wearing bandanas. New Sheldon fashion.

I took this picture.

cousin pictures

B:

This is when Mike and Shani were going to leave.

All of the cousins are standing on a log, getting ready for people to take their pictures. I had fun when Mike and Shani, Jack and Alex here.

This is an adult picture.

marbles

T:

Me and Neave built a marble run. It is made of little weird, like, wooden planks that are have a hole down the middle, and there's little wooden blocks that have a hole up through the top and out the side. This is the marble run we've built EVER.

We were trying to see who could make the funniest face by the marble run.

Geeses time on the hay bales

N:

Geese are on the hay bales, and they wanna play. Because they see us hopping around on the hay bales all day.

This is me taking a picture of them. This is the first time we saw them up there. And I'm taking a picture of them now. You might wonder what the thing behind me is, but it's my dog, Noah.

Rakhi Celebration

B:

This is the day that we give each other bracelets so that then we will take care of each other for the rest of the year.

In that picture, Neave was feeding Tucker the sweet thing.

That was me feeding Neave the sweet thing, after the bitter thing.

This is me eating a cinnamon roll, then my dad said to open my mouth when I was doing it.

This is me making a bracelet for Liam.

FORT!

T:

We made a stick and hay fort. It was really fun to be in. We played in it all the next day. We played gorillas, and that's about it. Here's pictures of the pizza. We each got to make our own pizza. My dad and my uncle are holding the pizzas. We got to play in the fort while they made them.

Here are some pictures of us eating them, with our cousins Jack and Alex.

This is the fort.

when Noah was new

Here are some pictures the kids wanted to share from March, when we first got Noah. Everyone is sick around here, so no interesting commentary tonight. Hopefully we'll do better tomorrow.
