So Happy Together!

Our little family is all back together and our day at the park could not have been better. We're all happy to have erupting Eyjafjallajokull in the past.

Happy 1st Mary Kate!

Blew Me Away

The boys and I were blowing bubbles in the backyard or maybe it was more like I blew the bubbles while Danny and Ryan hopped around the lawn popping them. Anyway, Ryan dropped the wand into the foot high bubble container, and I just could not get it out. He gave it a good attempt as well with his smaller fingers but then gave a look like, "Mom, I'll solve this for us. Hold on." With a big cheesy smile, he ran to the back slider door to go get whatever it was he wanted. I definitely watched where he was going. He went to the kitchen, opened the silverware drawer, pulled out a spoon, looked at it, said "nooo," then put it back to pull out a fork. To that his smile grew larger still. He proudly brought it to me. Of course it worked. What a thinker, right?

Easter Morning Egg Hunt

There's just no stopping them.

We are certain that the "kids eat free" brunch policy will be changed after what the Welty boys accomplished at the Easter buffet.

Both sets of grandparents were at the celebration, so it was a truly special Easter. All week Ryan had been naming who he would get to see for Easter.

Danny got such a kick out of smelling the flowers.

Lego Creations

Does that perfect posture and smile not just scream, "Look what I did!"















Danny built a "helicopter." I figured that out as he flew it around the room making puttering motor sounds.
