more little ones and a song

We had a last minute get together with some more of our extended family last night- The Bristers and The Mills. We had not really seen Baker since our visit to the hospital, so we were all so excited to see him. The kids were swarming as soon as they walked in the door...





And Miss Myrt is turning into such a big girl...we have figured out that she and the twins will start Kindergarten together in a few years, and we are slightly scared!!! :) Especially of she and Lila working together! But really, she is such a cutie pie, and they had lots of fun dressing up and playing....

I am so sad that the few pics I got of Jacob and Patrick are totally blurry. Don't know what is up with that. I swear Patrick grew a ton while they were at the beach! I, of course, loved having the chance to hold the babies- as much as I could!!
The Mills brought cupcakes, which were a huge hit with kids!

And afterwards, the Dads and kids played a game of zingo while the Moms took their turns to eat. I can see lots of fun game nights in our future as the kids get older!!
Such a fun night...and great to have friends that can come over last minute, and who I know don't care that there are spiderwebs in my corners and hand prints all over my windows! (Cleaning definitely hasn't been at the top of the priority list this summer.)

***
Elise had a fabulous time attending Vacation Bible School at my parents church last week. So, this morning we went to church with them so that she could sing one of her songs with the kids who also attended.
I didn't realize that they were supposed to wear their VBS t-shirt, but she didn't seem to mind and got really into the song. She had so much fun, and can't wait to go back next year.
It has been a nice weekend spent with friends!

So wish we lived closer to you all! Sounds like the perfect group for a evening play date!

we had a BLAST - so glad that we live so close to each other, as all three families have so much fun together! i agree on the lila and myrt statement - let's hope that they don't work together to work AGAINST us :)
