Hello Everyone! I hope this update finds you and your family happy and healthy. We finally have had some nice weather up here in the northeast. In fact, it has been rather hot the last few days. I have been so anxious to take the boys out in the stroller however it went from being totally rainy to extremely humid... a little too hot for them I fear. So instead we play inside!

The boys were baptized 2 weeks ago on Father's Day. We were lucky to have the first nice day of the summer for the afternoon. The boys did great in the church and we enjoyed being able to spend this day with our family who have helped us so much these past months.

Carl returned to his medical residency this week. He was anxious to get back on track once again after a long needed absence. He will miss his time with his family as residency does not allow for too much time at home. We obviously will miss him and all of his help.  

Cameron is still in full-time day care close by our home and he enjoy's his playtime with his friends during those hours. We recently took him to see his favorite toy train... "Thomas the Tank Engine". He practically jumped from Carl's arms when he first saw the full size train on the tracks! What a great day we had! The little boys stayed at home and got special attention from his Aunts Liz, Michelle and Stephanie along with cousin Meagan! Some day in the future we'll take everyone for events like this but this time, we gave Cam our full attention. Cameron has been so much fun. What a great age he is at. (2 1/2)

I still work 3 days from home which has been great. Family and friends continue to take turns coming in and watching the boys for us. For the summer I have a teacher who is donating her time along with a neighborhood 13 year-old girl. I am always looking for others to donate a day, a night or a weekend. This will always be the case as some times of the year are good for some and not for others, etc. We are so lucky to have had the help so far. Thanks to all who have contributed their time!

The babies have continued to sleep through the night. And when awake... they smile, roll, shake and suckle on anything placed in their hands.  They really have been changing quite a bit and interacting with everyone these past weeks. Cole is the happiest, little man. When he laughs, his whole face lights up. He especially likes his little snail that squeeks. Instant Laugh! It's hard not to fall in love with him right off the bat. Brandon is still the mover and shaker of the bunch. He wriggles, stretches, practically is crawling and such a nosey little bugger. He never can seem to finish his bottle as he is too busy looking/turning around. Such a cutie! Parker is the charmer. He smiles, smiles, smiles all day long! He hasn't moved as much as the other 3 but did find his feet first. He dislikes his tummy and would rather just sit and smile looking up at you. Nathaniel continues to be the biggest at around 16 pounds. He has the funniest expressions and gets the most laughs from onlookers! He has no problem taking his bottle and sleeping. Possible profession... Linebacker, bouncer, wrestler!

Please come by and visit us sometime. Have a wonderful summer!
