Miss us?

Did you miss us?  It may not be surprising to hear that it has been a busy two months.  Now we are gearing up for Holden's birthday celebration this weekend.  I am also on summer "vacation," which will predictably entail me adding way too much to my to-do list, including teaching an on-line course for the first time.  The summer break started off with a bang, as Holden had a double ear infection, Noella has battled a stomach bug on and off for two weeks, and Mariel has another case of lice.  We thank our lucky stars for a working washing machine several times a day here.
Updates in a few photos:
Mariel's (rescheduled) Birthday Party
 A few perks of the "rain date"- we got to celebrate with Grampy and Babci and the Irish themed party got to take place on St. Patrick's Day!
 Mariel's gift from Babci and Grampy: Disney on Ice!
 Easter!
 And we helped host a baby shower for a friend.  The girls (and their dolls) did not do much with the planning or food prep, but they still came early to help out.
 I got to share in the dessert table creation and frosted many dozen baby face cupcakes.
