Sky Lanterns

Sean brought home his usual arsenal of fireworks ready for the 4th of July.   This year he brought home two sky lanterns for the girls.  They pretended to be Rapunzel and made a wish as they helped Sean release the lanterns.   The lanterns floated so high and eventually went out of sight.  The girls loved it! 

Happy Birthday Carter

What a fun day we had celebrating your 11th birthday!  Unfortunately, I left the battery for the camera on the charger at home, so we didn't have a camera to document our fun trip to Kings Island.  

I can't believe another year has flown by!  This photograph was taken when you were two years old at Nanny and Grampy's house.  You are modeling the latest Tupperware fashion.

You are my special guy and I love that you have your Dads big, beautiful, brown eyes and long eye lashes.  Your eyes are smiling in this picture and it makes me smile when I look at them. 

Hayley

Hayley will not stay still long enough to take a decent photograph.  You should see the other 400 shots I had to take of her making silly faces and sticking her tongue out before I finally snapped this one.

Then.....and Now

I remember thinking how big the boys were on their first day of elementary school. Looking back on that photo they seem so small.  Here they are today their last day of fifth grade in the exact same spot.  These two boys fight and play like brothers.  Future college roommates ?  I can't even imagine......
