Our friends Chris (CVS) and Lisa came to visit

 

And of course, by the time it was over, Owen was comparing bellies with Chris. Owen won.

Yes, I know I'm cute...

 

Now make with MORE FOOD!

Kisses...

 

To make up for trying to eat her!

How do babies grow?

 

By eating OTHER babies!! AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

Sometimes the bear has to go night-nights first...

 

All wrapped up in his blanket - Owen fed him, burrito wrapped him and put him in his bed...

Ready for the big leagues!

 

Plus he has the cool shades!

Marina goes for a whole new look...

 

Yeah... she's a blonde...

What do you get with a family cookout when it's 100 degrees?

 

A BOATLOAD of kids in the (cool) hottub!

Remember rule #1 - no peeing in the hot tub!

The perfect item for the jetlagged...

 

Yup, a propeller beanie!

9 months...

 

And it looks like Lily will keep her blue/green eyes...

While Dad's away (in Germany)

 

We'll stay up late and play trains!

You can caption this one yourselves....

 

Owen's funny face...

 

Accompanied by flicking his tongue in and out. Thanks Mom for teaching him that! Cracks himself up every time!

Lily and Dad, sitting in the grass...

 

Fall off the swing and this is what you get...

 

Playground rash...

And the swing!

 

Everyone having a good time in the tub...

 

Lily in the hottub.

 

Yes, I could find the shot of Owen in the ladybug floater - but trust me, they look the same!

A big day at the park equals..

 

A big nap for everyone when we get home!

Trucks - not just for boys!

 

Girls love them too!

"Talk to the hand, Dad"

 

Lily's typical pose...

Remember THIS shot?

 

Owen...

Dad has too much time on his hands at bathtime...

 

But we're better now.

 

Can't you tell?

Ohhh, we've been SOOOO sick...

 

Yup - we'll spare you the firehose details.
