Getting ready for a trip back to The States

I know the next pictures are super similar but I just love them all, 
I cannot chose a favorite to post!







This picture was randomly mixed in with my current photos.  It made me smile and feel happy. And sad. We miss you every single day, Michael. 











So this has started at bedtime.
We hear them up there whispering and scurrying about, getting in and out of each other's beds.  It's beyond adorable. 




Some home ear surgery.
Patient did fine and is recovering nicely. 





Frances started fussing a little and Woody walked around the porch shushing her and patting her bum.  What a big brother!




We put this happy little friend in a bucket a lot.  Since then, everyone thinks the buckets are
  super fun!














Tohi had such a big girl week a few weeks before we left for the USA.  She started swim lessons with the amazing Elena and she was invited to her first birthday party of her friend.  

On the way to swim lessons 

Just Mom and Tohi!



A well earned juice after swim


Tohi's friends birthday at the movie theater 





Miss red, white, and blue did not want me
to take her picture



Nothing bonds siblings together faster than shared fevers.
We had almost a week of fevers, naps, and shows.  


Woody is still crazy for dinosaurs.
Please note the lego bed made for T-rex next to him. 
Elwood's jungle bird house


I was SO HAPPY when I started to see this thumb sucking! Thumb sucking=self soothing=SLEEPER!  




Woody had a swim expo before we left.  The kids showcase all their hard work in front of the parents.  It's adorable and impressive.  




Everyone loved getting a chance to hold Frances






This big girl rolled over from back to belly! I only caught the end on camera. 



Conor's worst home haircut to date. Just in time for our trip back to The States

My big helpers getting the house all cleaned up for our dog/house sitters
"Hmmm, What to pack? what to pack?"

Frankie's hilarious passport photo.  
We just love her so much

"No, no, no, no, no"
