family arts day


This Saturday our local art museum had another free family arts day. This time the theme was "things with wings". The boys got to make paper dragons, butterflies, paper wings and these cute bird masks. The Houston Zoo gave a presentation on birds and brought several live birds that the boys got to pet and hold. It was lots of fun!

playing in the rain

Today we got lots of rain thanks to the hurricane that hit far south of us. The boys went out to play in the rain. They got soaking wet, but had lots of fun. Here they are all bundled up in their towels after they were done playing.

Dario drew this picture and asked me to hang it on his bedroom door. If you can't tell what it is, it's a no girls allowed sign. Silly boy! (picture of Dario courtesy of Aunt Lauren)

Brian's parents brought back lots of souvenirs form their trip to Europe. All of the kids were so excited to get their presents. One of the things they gave Ava was a cute pink Beret from Paris. So sweet!

swimming pool



I took all three kids to the pool, by myself, for the first time today. Normally three is pretty manageable, however today it seemed like there were double that many. Two of my kids can't swim but think they can! Despite the chaos, I did manage to take a couple of pictures. Next time, Brian is defiantly coming with me!
