Randomness

I don't even know if my title is a word....... but I thought it would be appropriate nonetheless for this post.  I just finished downloading over 1000 pictures from my cell phone to my computer, many of which have never seen the light of day.  So I thought I would do a "last few months in review" kinda thing through pictures.  So here we go!

Starting with Christmastime 2011, they were hooked on doing puzzles....

kitties in boxes...

a fun coffee date with my Pootie...

and the whole gang!

Valentine's Day Couples' Dinner.....  It was my turn to host this year!

A lost tooth....

And some hang-time with the kiddos....

And a friend's birthday at Nascar Speedpark!

A soccer themed birthday for Grayson.....

With lots of friends....

And Momma and Gray sharing the same birthday!

A cool "family portrait" by Georgia as we awaited our little ones' arrival home...

Soccer....

Soccer....

And more soccer!!

And more mommy-daughter(s) time... canning jam...

And going out for a birthday lunch!

Then we headed off to the other side of the pond to fetch our kiddos!!

Our train ticket...

And Schuyler sitting high on her perch  :)

Our first meeting with little Bubba Bean, and his silly faces...

Down the alley we go to our apartment.

Some beautiful architecture!

Right outside the DAP office.

And some SUPER colorful buildings in Kiev....

Our first meeting with little Miss Charlotte....

Some last little daddy-daughter time before he headed out....

Seeing the Singing Men of Texas perform in Simferopol...

 Hitting the beach for the day in Evpetoria...

And then we were HOME!!!

Time for a little strawberry picking with friends...

A LOT of eating....

And Target shopping....

And whoops! Getting sick with Fifth's Disease.  Yuck!!

But pretty soon he was feeling better, so it was back to the soccer fields...

Then a fun shower for Mommy in honor of Charlotte and Atticus!

The kids got some wonderful gifts!

Then play....

play.....

and more play....

and a fabulously fun VBS at our church from which Charlotte is still singing songs!!  :)

Then we have gotten in a little sprinkler time....

A little pool time.....

And some Fourth of July fun!!

And of course, some family time.  Love!

Then we had a BIG day.  I mean a really big day.  Atticus's 2nd birthday!!!

His first birthday home with his family.

Complete with cupcakes, which he didn't care much about...;)

And later a party with all his buddies!

Quinton was there too!!

Sesame Street of course!

Then we also got glasses.....

Had our teeth cleaned....

Oh and yes, went to the Urgent Care.  Ah well, not all firsts are good!

Sooooo, that about catches you up on our last seven months or so and my last 1000 cell phone pictures!

But never fear, there is a lot of summer, and a lot of 2012 left..... so more to come!  

In the meantime, have a slice of juicy watermelon.....

and enjoy your summer!!
