A note for Henry

This is the cutest thing! Kate got a rash last week and was unable to play. She left a note at our door letting Henry know why she couldn't come out to play with him! Too Cute!!!

Eli's House

We went to Brad and Keverly's house for dinner. The kids have missed playing with Eli. They had a lot of fun, and Nate and I had a great visit with our old neighbors.

Eli and Aida being silly!

Eli, Aida and Henry

Eli and Aida were concentrating hard on these brownies!

Karen's Build-a-Bear party

Karen had a Build-a-Bear party for her 4th birthday party at the Promenade. Aida and I ate lunch with Nate and Henry and the kids played at the fountain for a bit before the party. Nate and Henry then went to the Bass Fishing Convention while Aida and I went to Karen's party.

Aida and Henry playing near the fountain! They were tempted to get really wet but luckily refrained!

Aida tried on a big girl hat in Forever 21. She looked so cute and grown up!

All of the party guests with their Build-a-Bears.

Karen and Aida. They will miss each other after KDO is over May 30! They are great friends.

Girls on the Block

I haven't posted in a while due to technical difficulties! A couple of weeks ago all of the daddys on the block went out and all of the moms and kids ordered pizza and had a mini block party! It was a lot of fun! Aida got into sidewalk chalk and put it all over herself. It adds to the fudgcicle decor. Pink and brown are in these days!

Another silly Aida pose!

And another....

Justin...

Henry and Kate (with popsicle teeth!)

Sillies!

Block Party

Lisa and Marianne planned a Block Party to bid the Luciano's farewell. We had a great time! We are so blessed to live in such a family oriented neighborhood!!

Setting up for the party....We just blocked off the street so there was no worry of a car passing!

John manned the grill - which was a big undertaking!

Nate supplied all of the hot dogs and kielbasa.

Little Katelyn

Scenes from the party...

Everyone eating.

More eating!

The "Wagon Train"

More scenes....

Justin and Aida became partners in crime at the party! Very dangerous pair!!

Girls' Night!

We had a girls' night out to say farewell to Kathy (the cute prego Mommy sitting beside me!)

We haven't been back in Shadow Valley very long and will already miss Kathy, Mitch, Madeline and Kaitlin (and new baby Lily-to-be!) We had a nice evening at Basil's enjoying girl talk sans children since collectively we have 18!

Aida's Outfit

Aida picked out her clothes this morning...Luckily we stayed home all day!
