Lila's Birthday

 7! How's my baby seven?! She wanted a fish - new family member: Clarabelle the Beta (who incidentally hasn't eaten since we brought her (him) home). 

 Max gave Lila her very first Barbie which she wanted so she could wash her hair in the shower. Strange children I have.

 Window Markers- big hit.

 Matt brought her flowers - simple pleasures!

 Lila's birthday fell on the first sunny, warm day we've had! She got to skip rope, hop scotch, hoola hoop and blow bubbles with her friends without jackets or sweaters. Heaven!!

 tee ball.

 Bubbie serenading Bo with the National Anthem. Look how Gretchen's too polite to make eye contact. ;)

 This kills me. Mom & dad telling Max he can't change the rules of baseball. They've had this conversation before.

Max & Maiya (Kirsten's daughter) - they adore each other and we have so much fun getting them together!
