Memorial Day 2006

The boys were very active this Memorial Day weekend.


It was a very hot weekend and the boys loved cooling off with popsicles.


Mommy went to NYC to attend a friend's funeral and the boys missed her. They had a great time with daddy, but they were ecstatic when mommy came home on Monday.


The construction on our new home is progressing nicely. We now have roof shingles...


and windows. The mason starts laying the brick next week. Stay tuned...

Group Hug....

The boys had a blast at their Grandparents' house in the country.


Luke spent some quality time with some of his cousins. Here Luke is partaking in a group hug with his cousins Rylee and Elise.


In this pic, Owen gives his Aunt Susie a smooch. (Amy would like to wish Susie a BELATED Happy 51st birthday!)


Not to be out-done, Luke plants a big one on his Godmother DiDi.

Cassandra & Dan's Wedding...

The boys travelled to Erie this past weekend to attend their cousin Cassandra's wedding.


Here's a pic of the boys hanging with the bride.


The the boys' cousins Gracie and Nate.


The boys got to spend some time with mommy's cousin Carole.


The boys loved tearing up the dance floor. Here is OX with his cousin Heidi.


Here's Luke (aka Dancin' Machine) with his cousin Tommy.


Owen was beat after a couple hours of dancing, so he decided to take a quick snooze on Aunt Mar's shoulder.


Meanwhile Luke worked up quite a thirst.

Stay tuned for pics from this past weekend's Mother's Day picnic...

Another Day at the Zoo...

We took the boys to the Cincinnati Zoo last week. It was their second trip to a zoo in less than month. They also visited the Erie Zoo a few weeks back.


Amy took this great pic of the boys hangin' with a peacock.


Mom and the boys loved to have their picture taken with giraffes. It has now become a tradition.


The boys wanted to see what it was like living like a turtle.


Progress on our new home is moving right along.


Dad & the boys check on the contruction daily. Dad & Owen prefer to wear their shades, while Luke thinks his is just too cool to wear them.

Mmmm, Ice Cream!

This evening the boys paid a visit to a local ice cream shop.


Owen & Luke can eat ice cream with the best of them. Watch out PapPap and Grandma!


Here's a pic of a rainbow we saw outside our door.


The boys loved running around in the country over Easter break.


They also took some time to ride a deer.


OX & Luke had a great time on the trampoline with mommy & Aunt Kakie.


And of course, this posting would not be complete without a pic of the boys with their Aunt DiDi.
