Backyard Fun

Scott spent the afternoon helping both Aaron and Helena learn how to properly hold a bat and swing at the ball. The kids loved being able to hit the ball and had a lot of fun running after the ball and cheering for one another.

And it's a hit for Helena!

Aaron, not quite sure about his grip on the bat

Not a bad hit though!

Summer Birthday

This weekend, we helped our cousin Marshall celebrate his first birthday! Over the last year, there has been a baby boom in Stacie's family and there were children running and playing in every room of the house. We had lots of fun celebrating with the Horan family and cannot believe how fast this last year has flown by!

CAKE!!

Big sister Ainsley enjoys the cake as well

Natalie - 24 weeks

Natalie is now twenty four weeks old and is getting so big! She is now rolling over and sitting up with support. She enjoys eating avocado and bananas and laughs uncontrollably at her big brother and sister. Natalie babbles and smiles most of the time and is such a joy to spend time with!

Aaron and Helena loved picking raspberries. They each had their own basket and spent an hour picking raspberries with Stacie.

Father's Day Weekend

We were very busy during Father's Day weekend. We spent Saturday at Stacie's parents swimming in the pool for most of the day. On Father's day, we took all three kids to the Colchester Recreation Complex where they have a Splash Pad for the kids to play in and keep cool.
