Field Trips, etc

Andrew's final elementary field trip was to Mt. Vernon, VA. I left that afternoon so Chris got to go with him! It was one of the first VERY warm days we have had!

 I heard there was a lot of walking. And...that was about it!

 Julian finishes his little lacrosse class. He really enjoys organized sports right now-check back in a few years and I'll let you know if that is still the case!

 So cute, his thank you cards for his teachers.

 Bath time for the baby. I have to document them bc that helps me remember the last time poor girlfriend had a bath :)

 Breakfast date with the Ryguy-

 This was in my bed. Ryan sleeps with me at least one night per week while Chris is away. He likes to make sure he can use the ENTIRE king bed.

 Andrew's first lacrosse season. His team wasn't the best, but it was almost all of their first year playing.

                                           Selfie-fun

Andrew is ELEVEN

 It seems like yesterday I was planning this guys first birthday party! Now he is all grown up!

 Andrew had 6 boys come over to eat pizza, head to the movies, and sleepover. They were SOO loud:)

 Celebrating with the family

 That night each child got a special aunt/uncle bedtime reading

 That night, he had a lacrosse game that I tried to get him to skip :) He wouldn't, and he scored his first 2 goals and had 2 assists!

10 months ALREADY!

                                                     Girlfriend is ON.THE.MOVE

                                       She still has ROLLs for days....but is starting to thin out-especially her face

 She likes to climb under and over and around...loves to be growled/chased, LOVES music and Alexa

 and eating...she can eat 24/7...

                                            Its a rough life. It is hard to believe we will be planning a celebration for ourselves in just two short months! We kept 4 kids ALIVE for an entire year!
