Cuddle time with one of our favorites

Marin's Mom and Dad had meetings so she got to spend the day with us.  She came very early so we had a lazy morning!

When Emmerson woke up Marin was already here so they had to cuddle on the couch for a bit!

Claire tries so hard to keep up with the big girls!

Emme always says, "Baby loves her babies."

Three sweet girls in one little sleeping bag.  

Random moments at the Bloede home!

Our post are usually about events or "real" things we do.  Here is a random moment at our house.

Claire relaxing with her baby for no good reason!

Emmerson eating lunch with her new helmet on.

Dad letting Claire try her first donut!

Packing up "Evansville"

We spent Memorial day weekend remembering two very special people...and packing up their house!   

Emme thought this tool box was a great place to get out of the way!

She helped with some cleaning too!

These two grew up in this house so it was bittersweet for all of us to pull up to a for sale sign.   We were shocked when it sold in less than 24 hours... We can only hope the new owner makes the memories we all have in this house!

The girls modeling Grandpa's favorite hat!  Emme loved the "ponytail".

You learn a lot about people as you go through their stuff....This is my new favorite thing about my sweet Grandpa.  He put a cotton ball in his hats so they didn't hurt is bald head!

Picking a rock from the rock garden!

Good Bye 5801 Madison Avenue.  Thanks for the memories!

Claire went out with a bang...literally!  She cracked her head as we packed the car!

Strawberry Patch

We went to the strawberry patch to pick strawberries with our friends.  Other than it being a million degrees it was so fun!

As you see one of our girls is working hard the other is preparing to eat!

She walked around with about 4 strawberries forever...because she had to pick the best ones!

again with only one working...

This is about 35 minutes of work?!?

This one ate no short of 25 strawberries!  Then there is Emmerson.  She wouldn't even try one.  She was SO upset that Claire was eating them!  She kept saying, " mommy, those haven't been washed!  The green part is still on!"  oh the difference in the two!

Look at Claire's hand.  Notice the dripping juice!

Don't be fooled she only picked them to eat!

Music class

Claire went to music class on Thursday mornings for the last 10 weeks.  She really liked it!  She danced, clapped and made some new friends!

FUN, fun, FUN

Daddy works from home every other Wednesday!  We LOVE it!

Just doing some reading while he works!

Taking a break for him...

See how helpful we are...

Grandma's Birthday

We went to see Grandma for her birthday!

Emmerson picked a flower out of our yard to take to her.  She was very excited about it!
