Splash Parks, Blackberries, and Costco

Splash Park with the Vigils

janice has classes on saturdays and needed help watching her kids. we had volunteered to have her kids over. our kids get along so well with max, doug, and cordelia. they are sweet and so fun. we took them to the splash park, had a pizza picnic, and came home and hung out at our place. we're so grateful to have the vigils as our good friends.

The Weekly Grind

this week when we drove to the garden, we discovered there were blackberry bushes lining the borders. we grabbed our little buckets and picked as many as we could. there were mosquitos everywhere, and the thorns were vicious. we picked a good little handful and that was enough. isaiah stole the phone yesterday. isaiah and makayah love taking the phone, taking pictures, and videos of the mischief they get in. sam and i were still sleeping when they took these early morning photos. ahh, costco. we can't go a month without going to costco. we always look forward to our trips there and the free appetizers. we found a cutie in the milk section, we couldn't resist. makayah and mimzy are such good friends. makayah is such a little mama!
