Yesterday, Will screamed from the other room: "Abby itched me!!" Abby screamed her response back to me: "Brober is not looking at me!" Nice.

Good Kitty
Elvis and Bruno have been part of our family for seven years now. We have had them longer than we have had the kids. Our big yellow cat Bruno does not like the children in the least. He moves his fat body away from them as fast as he can when he sees them. Who can blame him? The kids are usually loud and running at him full speed with the intent to grab him. Yes, he is smart to run away.
Elvis, on the other hand, is a great cat to have around the children. Ever since Will was born, Elvis has enjoyed being around the babies. Elvis has been kind and gentle to him. Even when toddler Will and then toddler Abby grabbed at his stomach, patted him too rough or yelled "KITTY KITTY KITTY!" into his ear, the cat takes it in stride. Elvis does not scratch them like he does with Matt (Matt also likes to play with Elvis, but Elvis likes to use his claws in those games). Here is a picture of Abby "playing" with Elvis. Yes, you see it correctly. She is pulling his tail.
Don't get me wrong, Elvis is a very smart cat. He keeps his eyes on the children at all times. He knows they are unpredictable. But he does tolerate them. He loves their warm beds and their new-found ability to open the door for him.

Happy 5th Birthday William!
5 years ago today,when Will was born, Matt and I became parents. We looked at each other and laughed realizing that we had read all the books about birthing the baby and NOTHING about raising a baby! My mother came up and stayed with us for a week. When it was time for her to go home, we stood on the front porch holding the baby...having no idea what to do next.




Happy Birthday to the little guy who changed our lives forever. He taught us to be parents and to laugh at the thing you can't control. He paved the way for his sisters (Abby is seen here in her snow white dress waiting patiently for her cake) and he became a little man in the process.
While we still have lots to learn, we have come a long way from those first days standing on the porch. Will has been great "helping" us learn. To celebrate, we had a birthday party! Here are a few shots of the fun evening.

Sorry about your baby book, Harper
So Harper had her first solid foods, but I just don't remember the date. I have a rough idea. I remember what I made for dinner (we had eggs). I remember that the big kids were running around with Matt. I also remember that Harper did not like the baby single grain oatmeal and kept making a disgusted face and kept spitting out the food. 
I did take pictures. The camera remembers the date right!?! Yeah technology! No, the date is wrong! I am sure it didn't happen on June 1st. Harper has not yet been alive on a June 1st.
