the fun we've been having 'round here...

i've got a lot of catching up to do on here... we have had a busy june so far, and we've been blessed to spend lots of time with friends and family. i remind myself often that every memory made does not have to appear on tenlittletoes... but oh, that is hard for me. :) the blog posts in my mind are backing up and spilling over... i've got lots of pictures just waiting on flickr. and most of them will probably just stay there. things are not slowing down....

tomorrow i turn thirty!

next week, i get to see my college girlfriends for our annual reunion but more importantly for christie's wedding!!! i will also be visiting with lots of family and my sweet friend rachel and her baby caroline. i cannot wait!

ethan's birthday is the next week.

july 4th is two days after that.

where has june gone!?

here's a little of what we've been up to...


experimenting with facial hair :)


enjoying a new (old) game with good friends


flossing play-doh out of caroline's teeth (and brushing it out of her molars!)


finding new joys in forgotten toys


playing trains with daddy...
and turning baby sister into (literally) amelia island!


remembering christmas presents we had yet to take out of the box!
this one occupied us all day!





playing with amelia, who has still yet to roll over again!


taking caroline to her very first "big movie"...
one of her favorites, and free at that!

and if we do go outside these days, it's got to involve water.


so we're still enjoying the pool.


and we're definitely loving the beach.

i told you we've been busy! more june fun on the way...
