Still swimmin'

I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of these types of pictures for awhile. Every, single night when we get home... "can we swim??!?!" Of course, it is a great way to make them so hungry they'll each whatever I put on the table - and tire them out - so why not?!

"Jump with me, Nick!!!"

zzzzzzzzzzz

I just love sleepin' kid pictures. Here's nick crashed on the couch in the middle of the afternoon... Too much swimming, I guess.

and of course... the sleepin' 'tephen.

Papooshka! Stephen after his bath...

Summer is here!

Well, at least at our place. We filled up the pool last weekend and, believe it or not, this was the best picture I got. The kids were so excited and just couldn't hold still to pose for a picture! Here they are, though, splashing around as the pool was filling. The water was freezing, ya'll, I can't believe they even got it. But it was a warm (high-80's) day and humid. Mike and I watched the fun from under our new gazebo. Aaaaaaah, shade for mamma!

Brrrrrrrr. Once his lips turned to their original (non-purple) color, Nicky was able to smile again!

Purely Peaceful. And comfy, too. I just want to crawl in the crib with him!

Yes, even in a family with OG (original goofball) Mike Miriovsky, Macy's still the goofiest one. That's saying a lot!! Stephen's slowly getting used to it and is not nearly as scared as he looks!

And here are three baby cardinals who, with their mommy, have made their home in a bush outside our front door. We have been watching them since they were just three little speckled eggs.
