Stylin' in Sunglasses

The other day Catherine came upon Jonathan's sunglasses on the stairs. She thought she was hot stuff! Not that I am biased or anything... but I do think she looks pretty cute.

Jonathan and Catherine

I have been so impressed lately how well the kids have been playing together. Every once in awhile Jonathan will take toys away from Catherine and she will fuss... but overall they have such a great time and keep each other OUT of trouble.

Visitors!

A few weeks ago we were blessed to have some very dear friends stay with us over the weekend. The first was my close friend, Julie and her family. Julie and I have been pregnant at the same times, in fact our due dates, both pregnancies we were within days of each other! She and her family are moving from the state of Washington to Nebraska. So, they stopped here for a long weekend to attend a wedding, see family in town and of course, hangout with us! We had a wonderful time eating meals, going on a double date, watching the kiddos play together and just plain old catching up.

The second of our visitors, in the same weekend, were William and Bridget. The last time we were able to spend time with them was last year, September, at their wedding. They, too, came in to attend a wedding. We had a wonderful time catching up and talking about babies, as they are due with their first child next month.

Here are all four kiddos together... it was quite the feat to get them all to smile at the same time. (From left: John Paul, who is a week older than Jonathan, and Ethan, who is also a week older than Catherine)

Thank you, Julie, Matt, JP, Ethan, William and Bridget for a FANTASTIC weekend!! We miss you already. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Climbing Stairs

Catherine's new place to play is the stairs... she can go up and down 'em like a champ!
