Summertime fun!

Bishop has been spending a lot of time with our neighbor, Andrew. Andrew is one year older than Bishop and the two of them have so much fun playing together! They have had pool parties in the backyard pools, water gun fights, played school, and played at the park! It's so nice that he's right next door. Bishop gets so excited when Andrew is home and can play. At the beginning we kind of struggled with the dynamic with the 2 boys and Nora. The boys would want to do their own thing and Nora would feel left out, etc. She hasn't been as interested in playing with them lately, which means I have gotten more one on one time with her, which has been great!

Water gun fight with Andrew!

Watch out!

Last week my mom came up and stayed with us on Tuesday night as she had plans in the cities on Wednesday. She was grateful enough to watch the kids so Luke and I could get out for dinner on our own. It had been awhile since we had been out just the 2 of us, so it was much appreciated! I was a little nervous how they would act for her, but they were great! Luke and I enjoyed dinner at Al Vento (it was SOO good and we hadn't been there in a long time)! We were home before the kids fell asleep, which meant bedtime was later (and hard since they were wound after we got home). It was worth it though! Thanks again, Nana! We all love you so much!

Since my mom was in the cities she was able to watch the kids skate on Wednesday afternoon. Nora was especially excited to have her there.....and she was smiling on the ice! :) She fell towards the end, which was tough for her--so we didn't get a smile with Nana...but she only wanted Nana to hold her! :)

It's hard to see, but she's smiling for her fan club!

Thanks for coming, Nana!

 On Thursday Luke took Bishop to get his haircut after school. Luke was asking if he could tell them to get the #2 out--I was a little hesitant to go that short, but I'm glad he went as short as he did! It looks great and must feel better in the summer heat!

My cool dude!

Scootering around the neighborhood!
