Visit w/ the PA V's!

We had a wonderful visit with Brian's parents over the last week. Samuel loved spending quality time with his Mum Mum, Pup Pup and Nittany. We spent a lot of time playing, eating and laughing. We also frequented the neighborhood pool which Samuel loved. Thanks for the great visit guys!! We had a lot of fun!! Here are some pictures to highlight the past week (and two videos):


Samuel LOVES cars, trucks, buses, lawn mowers and anything that MOVES. Below Samuel and Pups play cars on the porch. He loved playing with everyone. Samuel and Nittany were fast friends. Here Samuel takes a play break for a quick snuggle.

Etch a Sketch fun! Samuel loved drawing on his toy and the rest of us had fun playing hangman on it.

This was taken on the way to church Sunday. Samuel loved having his playmates in the backseat with him.

Below is a short video of Nittany and Samuel...



Below is a short clip from this morning...

Good Times!

We've had a busy, fun week/weekend! We were fortunate enough to have Mary, Dolly, Annabelle, Adeline and Baby Michael stay with us for the week. It was fun to watch the kiddos play. The time flew by and was filled with lots of action from Kindermusic class and lots of pool time to living room dance parties and sidewalk chalk fun. We ended our time together with a yummy Melting Pot dessert celebration for Mary's birthday - thanks so much for coming guys! On Saturday, we attended our good friend Henry's birthday party. Henry and Samuel hang out almost everyday and are adorable buddies. We were at the hospital the day Henry was born and vice versa, so it's sentimental to see these two grow up together. Jessica out did herself with a safari themed party that blew everyone away. There were awesome decorations and food, but she also organized a complete safari for the kids plus coconut water balloon races. Creative! Here are a few pics from our week...

After dinner, we turned on the music on and the dance party began! Annabelle and Dolly did a wonderful dance show for us then everyone joined in. Ring around the Roses was a hit with Samuel & Adeline... These two friends were really funny to watch....

Could Michael be any cuter?!?! He is such a darling little boy - I could eat him up!

Here are the kiddos about the hop in the pool! We had about 4 - 5 trips to the pool and everyone had a great time.

Water babies!

Our final night with a bang - Melting Pot dessert! Happy Early Birthday, Mary!!

Samuel's face says it all - best friends in the making! Happy Birthday Henry!

The safari was just about to begin, but first the kids were given hats, fans and backpacks containing a flashlight, sunglasses and a safari map (among other things)!

The birthday boy wasted no time looking for his safari animals....

Here Samuel is checking out the picture containing his animals to search for - we found them!
