baby grackle

we have seen a few of these this week

Long Day

One tired dirty daddy and two little ladies happy to hang out with him

Sunny Days

We tried to entertain ourselves while Chuck did more yard work..it was the whole weekend really.

Campbell loved hanging out on the blanket in the shade.

Doesn't Liam look pleased to be sitting with his sisters..ha!

Liam say CHEESE

and Miss Ainsley adjusted to the weather as well

Happy Memorial Day!

The closest thing we have had to a family photo..the girls are in the background in the stroller. We were in the village at the parade. We didn't get a puppy....it is our friend's dog and he was taking the picture so Chuck had to hold the dog.

After the parade we stopped at the park to look for some fish and Liam pulled out his safety goggles that he had stashed in his stroller.

The girls slept soundly for "most" of the morning

Liam informed us that he was a scuba diver and that he was going in the water to find Nemo..ewww! When he realized that he had no flippers he decided to wait for another time,

New Developments

Both girls are cooing up a storm and laughing but Campbell can bring her hands together

and Ainsley is a finger sucker...she was sucking her middle fingers (just like I did) but by the time I got the camera it looked like this.

Twelve weeks old!..how did that happen?

Fishing in the Dalton Creek

Chuck shows Liam the ropes

The water was rough due to the storm the day before so it was tough day for fishing but a lot of people still came out to give it a try including my brother and his family from Phila. and my sister-in-law's sister and family from New Jersey.

The girls were there too and we all enjoyed lots of delicious food. Liam LOVED the doughnuts.

Aidan caught these nice looking fish and won a trip with tickets to a Yankees game in the new stadium- Yay Aidan!

A weekend on Weatherby

The girls got to swing with their cousin, Emily, again.


Katie always had at least one of them

Liam at the big event: The Fishing Derby, with his uncle Aaron.

No fish for Liam this year but he thoroughly enjoyed all of the food.

whoop whoop!

The girls meet Baby Logan. What a big day for Logan..surrounded by twin girls!!

11 weeks old!!

Ainsley

Exploring Kingston

When the weather was clear, we got out to explore the city and Liam led us straight to this train and the waterfront.

It was quite a lesson for us to manage the "family" while travelling...we did alright

In the market at the wishing well..Liam threw lots of Canadian coinage in but we are not sure if he got the wishing part

The girls all bundled up

Staying in a hotel

This was Liam's first "memorable" experience in a hotel.

He loved looking out at the city from our room window and called the elevator his "office"...not sure why

And we discovered that it was easier to give him the camera to play with
then try to manage all of the kids and the luggage in the hotel room.

Happy Mother's Day, Bamp!

Campbell and Ainsley met their Great Grandmother in Kingston this past weekend

Bamp (that's what we call her) had a great time watching the girls and holding them both.

Bamp is 93 years young and still living in her own home on the St Lawrence River- amazing! Let's hope her spunk and longevity are passed down to these little girls.

It was wonderful to see you again! Thanks for having us and tolerating our craziness for a visit.
