End of the month

Guess who let me sleep in this morning :)

Hanging out in bed till 8:30 a.m. is a definite treat in our house full of kids.

The end of the month is a lot of work for me so I appreciate the extra sleep.

Thanks Luke :)

Water water everywhere!

Do your kids love water as much as mine?

The pool just isn’t enough.

It wouldn’t be summertime without a water hose.

  

I wish I could fit in the kitchen sink for a bath. Masie likes to help wash Lars’s toes.

She’s up!

For the last week Luke has been telling Lyla walks all around the house.

Apparently she only would do it if I weren’t at home or watching.

Well, yesterday she decided to start showing off her skills to me too.

She’s walking!!!

I recorded her this morning stumbling down our hallway.

(Caleb near the end of the video is one of Miles’s buddies.)
