Water, Family, and Memorial Day

Daniel has been enjoying his new water table.

 We have to drag him away at the end of every play session.

 He's still working on getting the water in that green box instead of on himself.

 Sarah mostly just works on being cute.

 She's really good at it.

 REALLY GOOD!

 Daniel's still obsessed with his Wiggles guitar. 

 Although we are happy to report that he also finds joy in sharing it, although Sarah is permitted to touch it for only a very few seconds.

 Daniel asks for the mower every single day.  In fact, I think I hear the word "mower" about 100 times a  day on average.  It doubles on actual mowing days like this one.

 Daniel stays glued to the window so he doesn't miss any of the mowing action.

 Here he leans in for a kiss. :)

 Sarah got to see Grandpa almost daily while they were down.  She loved spending time with him.  

 Daniel and the twins had a blast on our bed the other day after their baths.

 Daniel is so blessed to be surrounded with cousins so often.

 Grandpa is likely giving me cooking advice here.

 Daddy gets a rare cuddle session with both at once!

 We had a great time at Uncle Joe's the other day.

 Daniel enjoyed the slides...

 ...while Auntie Am enjoyed the girls.

 Grandpa and Grandma came to the Memorial Day Parade with us.  Here Grandpa is demonstrating the proper practice of removing your hat when the American flag passes by.

 Scarlett had a great time watching the parade.

 So did the Dan Man.

For those of you who haven't met Grace, here's a short video of her on her birthday.

Sarah's really liking her bumbo these days.

And here are a few videos of her laughing.  Daddy really has a knack for this!

Daniel and his cousins are some of the lucky few who get to hang out in funeral homes as little tots.  Here they are racing back and forth in the big chapel after the parade.

And one last one of Daddy and his girl.
