We've had an eventful week or two here...kicked things off with a birthday celebration for Uncle Matty. Best part was that Thomas could say "Happy bird day Unkah Ma-ee!"
Pop Pop was here for Matt's birthday celebration and had fun hanging out with the kids all weekend. Here he his being a cool-dude with little man TJ while cheering on Caroline at soccer practice.
This past Easter weekend, we had the good fortune to spend time with Mary Lee, George and Joe. While Mary Lee worked at the Lupus Walk for her company on Saturday morning, George, Joe and our family spent time at the National Zoo. Here are our little monkeys enjoying a nearby tree as we had a picnic lunch on the zoo grounds...
Sunday morning, we attended the 9:30 Mass together and managed to get through the whole Mass without having to leave because of Thomas' antics (though it was a close call). I tempted fate, though, when I insisted that we try to get a family picture in front of the altar at the end of Mass.
At least we got a beautiful shot of the girls...
After church, we picked up the Murrays at the train station and came
home to have an Easter egg hunt in the backyard and a
leisurely mid-afternoon Easter dinner. Caroline and Joe spent the whole afternoon on the trampoline and playing superheroes saving a baby doll in the backyard...
Thomas kept running outside because he wanted to be in on the action too (which meant that Mike spent the afternoon chasing him to keep him out of trouble)!
We were so happy that Nora, Caroline, Thomas and Joe got to spend so much time together this weekend, and grateful for having time to catch up with Mary Lee and George.
