Multi-celebratory Sunday

On Sunday our family celebrated Mom's birthday (the 18th) and their wedding anniversary (the 21st) as well as Father's Day. This triad of special occasions is fun, no doubt, but snuck up on us this year. Luckily a little team effort brought it all together: Paula craftily slipped a wedding photo out of their album, and had it restored and beautifully framed. She had already purchased a collector's edition DVD of "The Magnificent Seven" for Dad, and I got a card and Starbucks gift card for Mom. Then we ordered Tuscani pasta from Pizza Hut for lunch. Done!





























































We're entering the heat of summer, and Sunday the temperature was in the 90s. Waaaay to hot for the boys to be outside playing like they normally do at Grammy and Papa's house. Unfortunately, being inside in the AC can also lead to cabin fever for rambunctious little boys. Thank goodness for Cartoon Network!


























There's a strange contradiction between the way they like to alternate wrestling with being affectionate. As cute as this moment was, it was equally brief. Within minutes there was a "Stop touching me!" incident and Aunt Nina had to claim the middle spot to maintain peace.

















But I do LOVE these boys, stinky feet and all!
