Happy Memorial Day

Held the annual Neihouse Open yesterday or I should say what used to be the Neihouse Open.  Four years ago when we started, we had beer and BBQ and bocce ball.  Now, we have beer and BBQ and 12 kids in our backyard.  Lots of fun and insanity all at the same time.  Great to see friends.  Danny wore himself out playing tag, being a dragon and splashing in the water table.  Maura was the social butterfly, trying to get held by every adult there.

Maura and Mommy.  Yes, I am wearing shorts.  My 20 year old self would be shocked.

Look at me trying to crawl.

Danny Update

Two posts in one day...crazy!!

Danny turned 3 this March and I can't believe how fast he is growing up.  He was 39 inches at his doctor's appointment, so he will be taller than me by Kindergarten.  Plays non-stop, not a big fan of nap time.  Loves being outside and causing "big wrecks" with his race cars.  Danny is a great big brother, just the other day he sent the monster bothering Maura to time out.  

Happy Birthday!

Here are some Danny sayings: 

That's a good idea or That's not a good idea
If you say so... (my response, yes I do!)
Mommy, Daddy wake up time (normally at about 6:30am)
That's my favorite (whatever he is eating, watching, playing with at that time)

 

Maura Update

Total blogging fail.  It has been almost 5 months since our last post.

Maura is almost 7 months now.  She has her bottom 2 teeth and lots of drool (more teeth coming).  Started eating baby food, loves sweet potatoes and applesauce.  Rolling over both ways and from the looks of it trying to figure out crawling, she has to if she wants to keep up with Danny.  Loves watching her big brother, he gets a lot of laughs.  Still our little snuggle bug.
