Cousins in Boston

The O'Sullivan family came to visit and we had a blast. First off, we were so excited that they were able to come and spend some time with us. Secondly, having five kids in the house all under six wasn't as crazy as you would think.
After a long day at the baseball field and playground, it was fun to get a chance to celebrate Molly's birthday with her. All the kids were geared up for some birthday cake and the singing was fantastic.
Sunday we decided to venture into Boston and somehow it was a rather mild day. I couldn't believe it was August and I wished I had a long sleeved shirt on. Before lunch we stopped at the sandbox and playground which they all enjoyed. Then we managed to get all the kids to sit still so that we could take these cute pictures.



The boys loved seeing their cousins and getting to play with them. At one point, I wasn't sure if we would ever get them out of toy land. It always makes us happy when kids want to stay longer...that means they had some fun. Thanks for coming to visit...we loved having you!

Fishkill time!

The last weekend in July we took a trip to Fishkill. Susie drove up from Virginia and arranged for all of Brian's high school friends (and children) to get together. We got to the playground and we couldn't believe all the little ones running around. There was so much activity that I never even got a picture. Later that afternoon, Nana and Grandpa had a BBQ for us. Here is Connor and Grandpa bonding by the pool.
Below is Susie and Dan's little boy Grady - Brian absolutely loved carrying him around and especially his cuddles.

The madness of six kids in one living room.

Another weekend which flew by with too few pictures but it was fun seeing Uncle Pepe, Aunt Ellen, Nana and Grandpa. I am sure we will be back soon.
