The 4th of July.

Every year we go to Steve's parent's house for a cookout. It was a little different this year with 4 kids under the age of 2 running around, but it was still a lot of fun getting together with family. Griffin and Eliza always have fun playing together no matter what they are doing, and it's hard to believe that it another year Isaac and Madelyn will be running around playing with them. Madelyn is already 4 months old and time seems to be flying by a lot faster this time around.

Drummer Boy

Griffin has always been into rhythm and music, so it is no surprise that he has discovered the joys of pot and pan drumming. I try to put his "drums" away every day, but at some point he will ask for them and we end up dragging everything back out...inevitably it is usually when I'm trying to put Maddy down for a nap. Griffin has really started using his imagination more and it is fun to watch him create and invent new games on his own.
