Monday afternoon Ann, our neighbor friend from grade school, and her sister Tina came over with their kids. Tina lives in California and comes back twice a year. The kids played in the pool and sandpile. Phillip is almost exactly 2 years to the day older then Kolbe so it is fun to see what kinds of things Kolbe will be doing 2 years from now.The kids LOVE the piano. They "play" it several times a day. Get out the earplugs! Libby was dancing as she played. At one point all 5 were entertaining us with their music. Tuesday we had more kids over. Tom, dad's "little brother," came over with his son, Casey. Casey is just a couple of months older than Joseph. The 3 big kids got to go out to lunch and me and the 3 little ones had lunch at home. The twins started saying "Shannon" while I was feeding them, so it was worth staying home.

In the afternoon the kids played in their pool for a while and Jennifer, another neighborhood friend, and her little girl Ryan came over to play too. Ryan is a couple weeks younger than the twins.

Kolbe has been trying to be a huge help with the twins, although he wants to lift/carry/move them a lot. They don't weigh much less than he does. :)

Today we have had a little rain so we weren't able to go feed the ducks/play at the park. Maybe tomorrow.
