Belated Congrats to Dave & Kristin

We have been traveling recently and have a backlog of photos and updates to share...I think roughly chronological order will be easiest for my little mind to remember, so here we go--two weekends ago:

We celebrated Dave & Kristin's wedding about a year late, with a weekend in the Dells with good friends. It was a lovely, relaxing time, with plenty of antics from the five children present!

Simon was given a game of "Go Fish" for Christmas, and he just loves it. We have played a LOT of Go Fish recently--Carl was kind enough to join us one evening.

We have learned that when Theodore gets cranky, giving him a little water to play in can work wonders...and I just love that look on his face--what is he thinking???

Out for a walk with Carl

Theodore's first trips down a slide were very popular :).

"Hi Carl...mind if I grab at your face for a little while?"

Here is the whole gang who was there for the weekend--the four of us plus Carl, Dave & Kristin, and Alex, Katie, Abbie, Izzie, & Emelia

Lots of good times in the pool--here Alex takes Emelia for a ride down the slide

Theodore and I ventured in one afternoon, but despite his love of playing in the bathtub and any sink or pan of water he can get his hands on, he was rather overwhelmed at the pool, so we didn't stay long.

Simon, however, LOVED it, including going down the waterslide all by himself.

Congrats again Dave! We hope to see you and Kristin again soon :-)

p.s. Over the weekend Theodore also started crawling--tummy off the floor--but that footage will have to wait for another post!
