While Dave's parents were here, we went by the firm where Dave is working & visited their garden area. It is really beautiful - it has a big pond, pretty flowers, lots of shaded areas, and big chess & checker sets you can play. The cool thing about it was that it was practically on top of a building - cars were driving underneath us.
The chess set was a big hit with this little boy.

Then he realized it was a lot more fun to knock them all over,
and this was the end result:
No wonder I feel like I am cleaning up all day. What do people do with more than one destructive boy?? Go insane? I would. (I am probably jinxing myself here.)

Hopefully she never gets into the destructive stage, and stays chill & content her entire childhood. (I can dream, right?)
And lastly, the process of trying to get a (semi) good family shot:
Attempting to turn a sleeping infants head towards the camera,

no idea what was going on here,
about to call it a day,
Success! The toddler is looking at the camera with a half smile. (The best we were going to get at that point.)

They have that same chess set in the Atrium of the Science Spectrum. My kids knocked them all over, and then an older man came over with a stern look and told them not to do that because they might break. They're plastic. He gave me a look which my pregnant self interpreted as, "what do you think you're doing, lady, letting your hooligans destroy things? Get your kids under control in public." I was so offended in my head, I set all the pieces up myself and went to the under 5 room. I thought that place was about exploration. It's good to know my kids aren't the only ones.
I love the family pics!! And getting all of you to look at the camera at the same time is no small miracle :) You guys all look so great! Blake is absolutely darling. She looks more and more like her brother!
