4th of July!!

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

We had a traditional 4th of July celebration - even though Kyla and I are the only Americans in the bunch - with a day at the pool, followed by a nice dinner at Olive Garden (what's more American than Italian food?) and of course fireworks downtown!  Kyla loved the fireworks and kept pointing to them over and over again.  Everyone got into the spirit wearing red/white/blue and saying "Happy 4th of July" when prompted (thanks, Pamela!)

Girl's Days/Nights Out

Another perk of their visit, that John stayed home with the 3 girls, while we went out for some fun!

Headed out for a day of shopping!

Scottish Family Arrives

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

John's sister Janice, her children Jade and Eva and our friend Pamela all arrived from Scotland on 6/30.  We spent the first few days lounging around the pool so the kids could swim and the girls could get started on their savage tans!

Cake Smash!

Wednesday, June 25, 2008



We had a fabulous playdate Tuesday with Kyla's friends Lily and Aidric.  Besides having a good time playing (while the moms chatted) Mollie (Lily's mom) did a "cake smash" photo session for Kyla and Aidric's 1st birthdays.  Take a look at the photos on Mollie's blog - she is absolutely amazing!
