My Brother and his sweet family visit from NH

My brother and his wife Laura and their two sweet little girls visited us for a week...We had a really great time with them...Their little girls were so fun - Olivia and Drew really enjoyed getting to know them better. Here are just a couple pics

My Little Model

I finally found a trick to get Olivia to do a photo shoot...Inspiration off the internet. We visited all my favorite photographers sites and then went outside to see if we could replicate some poses. Olivia was quite a good sport. Usually she will only actually pose for Mindy, so i was pleased. Here are a few of my favorites from today.

May Day

I decided to get out side and trim something in our back yard. It really needs someone to spend about 20 hours pruning it. It's pretty anyway though. I finally got a good pic of Drew - he has been way to busy for pictures lately. Usually I have that problem with Olivia, so i hope this isn't a permanent problem for him.

Hi Baby Lauren

We finally got to have baby Lauren over for a visit. She is such a precious little angel. We love her. Here is a few of the girlies - Drew was too busy for pictures today.

Fun at the Zoo!!!

Yummy Sour Cream Coffee Cake

This recipe was taken from my favorite cook - the Barefoot Contessa...it was very good - especially warm out of the oven. Next time I make this, I'll invite friends :)

Ballet Update

It's been a while since I put any of Olivia's Ballet class - She is still enjoying it especially since her friend Kaily is in it too. Here are a few pics of today's class. It was hard to take pictures through the glass - the parents are supposed to stay in the waiting area. But, she is still cute. And one of Drew - he really needs a hair cut.
