Pool Pals

Maggie, Pat and Grace came over for a dip in the pool - Leo and Olivia loved it. It was a treat to see how much Leo loved the water - taking after his big sis!

What a Day for a Parade!

 The Ridge Run had just ended, I can't imagine how hot that outfit was!

 South Paw!! 

Packing

Olivia was so excited to go to the Memorial Day parade - I think it was just 7:00 am and she had packed for us. "See Mom, I brought both of our phones!" A hat for Leo, a flag because it's a parade, a "map". I've got the Sunday (I know it's really Monday) blues as it is, I better stop looking at this picture. 

Ready for Bed

Rain Rain Go Away

Olivia has plans...

Feels Like Bears Weather

Yipes!

Panic at the couch, as Leo spies Olivia's creep face. 

Just Woke Up From a Nap Face

Ignatius

 Hi sweet boy. 

He looks so much like his Mama! 

Sweet Girl

Olivia took a nap today (first one in well over a year), and I found her like this in our bed. Perhaps she read something about sleep in my book. 

Our Guy

"They'll Never Know"

I don't know who "they" are, or why Olivia wants to disguise herself, but that was Saturday's plan when we headed to the city. 

I Am Sure He is Plotting His Escape

Family Portrait

Taken on the laptop, when we running late. Great option for a quick pic!

Jenny The Bubblegum Queen

Olivia got to wear make-up on Saturday *and* Sunday!

 Adorable. 

 Olivia loved her classmates, such cute girls. 

 Finale 

 Stage whispering: "Mom, where's Esme?"

 A celebratory cake, made by Auntie Aimee. On Sunday Auntie Gena made Olivia cupcake cones, per request. 

This weekend was the culmination of 5 months of ballet classes at the Beverly Art Center. Two recitals, two great celebrations afterwards. We were so proud of Olivia as she performed (with a bit of stage freight). They danced to a cute song: Jenny, the Bubblegum Queen." There were 19 acts and each one was so enjoyable. I think Olivia definitely wants to do another class, perhaps tap or hip hop!

Too Much Party

Pals

 Bea is ready for take-off, and a bib with all that drool. She had her first taste of yogurt and looved it. 

OMG! Scott shrunk himself and is playing with Leo. 

Aye Aye Aye

 Sweaty upper lip + self applied lip STAIN. 

Even Bea participated (kind of). 

Breakfast in Bed

For Olivia on her special recital day. 

My Bubbas

 I put Leo on the ground, turned around and to bring the stroller over, and found him trying to climb up the slide. Olivia loved it. 

 Totally not ok that you look 20, pal. Stop it.
