June Happenings & Visitors

We had a very busy June. With a new baby, lots of visitors, and fun activities (for the children - I mostly rested), it just flew by!

Piano lessons with Aunt Mary

The children adored Aunt Mary

Connor went from this

 to this 

A fun day at Disneyworld with Aunt Mary & Uncle Chris, Daddy, & friends

My Uncle, Aunt, & Cousins drove up from Sarasota to meet Xavier and visit for an afternoon

Friends drove up from Tampa for Xavier's baptism and visited with us afterwards.

My Mom, brother, and sister took all the children to St. Augustine for a day while Gabe & I relaxed at home with the baby.

Goodbye pictures with Aunt Mary & Uncle Chris.  Poor Elias got stung in the face by a wasp the day of Xavier's baptism.  Hence the very swollen eye in the pictures.  Kieran also got a knee to the forehead during a slip n'slide run and he had a bump the size of an egg on his forehead.

Our good friends from South Carolina were in town and visited with us.  It was so nice to see all of them, especially our godson Dominic whom we hadn't seen since he was a few weeks old!  He is adorable and quite a character!

Then my brother and his girlfriend drove through heading south and spent a night.  We enjoyed our visit although it was way too short!

Gabe took my Mom and the children to Ichetucknee springs for an afternoon picnic and swim.  It was my Mom's first time visiting one of the springs.

Outside the Harn Art Museum.  Check out those storm clouds in the background!

The last week my Mom was here the children & Gabe participated in VBS.  I'll write about that in a separate post.  :)

My Mom was so wonderful!  She bought a one-way ticket and stayed for a month to be here for Xavier's birth and to help out.  She kept the children well occupied, helped keep the house clean, and cooked among many other things.  Thanks Mom!  We miss you.
