Fourth of July and stuff

Jeremiah, Megan, Hannah, and Zeke visited us for the Fourth. Isaac loved having Hannah around, even when they were fighting over toys they didn't really want but the other wanted it so it must be worth fighting over. I love it when my family visits. We had a good time swimming and going to the zoo and even catching the Webster Groves fireworks. It was quite a show and worth keeping the kids up for. I cried when they left...



Hannah took some lessons from Isaac about hanging out in your underwear.

These two boys looked so cute in their matching rompers! Interesting fact: They share two of their three names.

Blake obviously has started residency. Yes, we see less of him, but it's going just fine. Isaac has switched from being a Daddy's boy back to being a Mommy's boy. "No, Mommy do it!" Isn't Blake handsome in his new long white coat?




Besides that, we've been doing a lot of swimming, playing with trucks and trains, running to parks, sweating like crazy, and playgroups. And James learned to crawl two weeks ago! More recently, a couple days ago he started cruising, still very unsteadily. We've had many crashes.



I know in the video it doesn't look like he's crawling, but this was his first day and trust me, he was moving! Now he's much more adept. He can find me anywhere! (and any paper and cereal.)

Your photos are getting more and more beautiful, Marie! You must have learned how to use your Photoshop and camera better than I! :) You're awesome! James looks HUGE next to his cousin! Love it! :)

What a fun group of pics! Your camera is amazing. James' first attempts at crawling are so cute! And, Blake just LOOKS like a Dr.! Very exciting that he has a long coat now. :)
