Desperate times.

We couldn't find the camera tonight which meant that we were stuck with old pictures from Daddy's phone.  Edamame for breakfast?  Why not?

"35? Daddy, you're old."

Finally, the girls visited Daddy's first house from when he was a little boy.

Tooth issues

First, sous chefs:

And Haley the hard worker.

 Stephie's tooth is still really loose...but hanging on...

 ...despite Daddy's best efforts otherwise.

 Crazy honey badger.

 Goofy faces at bedtime:

Happy birthday Liam!!!

 First, Mimi and Poppie are in town!

We travelled to Milwaukee for Liam's first birthday party today.  The bigger kids enjoyed the snacks.

 There was a really great playground nearby.

 Stephie liked playing with the babies too.

 Cupcake time!

 The birthday boy:

 And finally, helping open gifts.  What a great day!

Food

 These first 3 pics are courtesy of the girls, taking photos and helping make dinner.

 Haley, I think you should wear that buttoned.

 Picnic on Ayla's patio:

 Yum!

The loft

Just a few of the girls' favorite things in the loft.

Reading together:

Library story time for Haley:

Bailey and Kit have whale dresses too! (thanks Julie!)

 And finally, last ice skating class!

Parks x 2

Haley and Bailey went to Newton Park.

Apparently it was tiring.

Later the girls met up with Claire...

...and commiserated over the difficulty of getting bark in your Crocs.  Life is rough.
