Sunday in the yard...

It's a cool beautiful Sunday here in Pittsburgh. We spent our time after church playing in the yard. Will loves his tee ball and power wheels while Ella works on crawling around on the blanket! Sorry the videos are so shaky, but I was doing it all one-handed. Enjoy!

So cute! Wish you could see her first tooth that came in last weekend!


Good hit!

Summer stuff!

We've had a very busy summer so far with trips to CT, WI, and most recently to Bethany Beach. We had a wonderful time soaking in the sun all together for a week. Will LOVED the sand and wanted to "dig-a" all day long. He was a bit cautious about the ocean but as the week went on was willing to get his toes in the surf. Ella was a trooper- swimming in the baby pool and napping on the beach. The kiddos are beach bums for sure!

Joe and I also celebrated our 5th anniversary while we were at the beach. My parents kindly watched the kids while we went out for a really nice dinner at a great restaurant right on the Salt Pond. It was beautiful and I had my favorites- Joe's company, a Grey Goose dirty martini with extra olives, and crab cakes! How time has flown and how blessed we are...

Here are some pictures of our trip... in no particular order!

The kiddos in the pool!

We loved having our breakfast on the deck watching the dolphins! Will was up by 6 every morning so excited to go to the beach. Needless to say, we're tired from our vacation!!

Again, notice the lip... too funny.

Swimming!

Will chillin' in his chair.

Loves to squirt himself in the face with the squirt gun... goof ball!

In their beach outfits, ready to go!

I LOVE this one because it looks like Ella is about to bop Will. Someday she'll give back to him all the torment he's giving to her...
