Friday Quick Takes (56)

Here's what we've been up to so far this summer and lots of pictures to catch up:

We've spent LOTS of time at the pool.  The kids absolutely love the water and have zero fear.  Anna will go underwater, get her face and hair wet, jump in the side, go down the slides, and run around crazy the whole time we're there.  They just love it, and I'm getting quite the tan!

We've been to the park a lot and gotten to see friends almost every day.  Anna's and Anne are best buds and are just way too adorable together.

Dancing at our parish carnival.

We didn't think Anna would like the rides, but she loved them.  Her and Anne went on all the rides they could and they had a blast on every one. 

They rode the Mini Ferris Wheel like 3 times.

Anne and Anna matched at McDonald's this week. 

Could they get any cuter?

Anthony's had a lot of fun too.  He loves all of the places we go and he gets to spend a lot of time riding on my back.  He has a best bud too.  Anthony and cousin Cecelia just love to play together.

We've been going to daddy's softball games.  It's a bunch of dad's from our parish and they've had a lot of fun playing.  Anna and Anthony love to watch the games.  Anthony spends most of his time sitting at the fence cheering them on.

We've spent lots of time playing in the yard.  We're having a fence installed this week, so the kids have enjoyed watching them dig holes and pour concrete.  Once the concrete sets they'll come back to finish up.   We should have it all finished next week.  That will make it much easier for me now with two mobile children.

This past week we had our annual Adoption Bowling Night.  It was so fun to see all of the kids together.  One little girl, L, was born the same day as Anna, placed a day apart and had her final adoption the same day as Anna.  So it's really neat to see them playing together.  All of the girls just had a blast.

My mom's 50th Birthday is on Sunday.  We're excited to celebrate with her!  We're having a big party, Anna's super looking forward to it, she loves parties (cake specifically)!

Happy Birthday Mom!
