Here's a collage of pictures of the kids in various type of play. The top two are of Katie and Will enjoying a small Tupperware storage container. They have such a good time together. The middle ones are two shots of our beautiful little girls. The one on the left is my favorite – it’s nice to see them enjoying each other’s company. The bottom set is of our Irish twins enjoying a lollipop, a staple treat in the house.

A set of four shots from the wading pool that has been very, very popular this year. I stepped into it once up to my ankles – it was so cold that I couldn’t feel my feet after a short time. Still they like it. In the last shot Kristin is torturing Erika in some manner. Note the Eagles football – it’s an important toy in our house!

A collage of Will Will pictures – the first, entitled “His Master’s Voice” is just my boy and me “outshy” (I'm wearing a Father's Day shirt from the kids). He’s probably not listening to a word I’m saying anyway. The middle shot is the characteristic way in which the boy runs – arms way up with his hands almost into his armpits. The last – “I love raspberries and cream” – and it’s great for the complexion, too. What a happy boy!

Katie bug – SO proud of her new underwear! She has turned into such a big girl almost overnight. It’s amazing – what a happy face!

Kristin before her first (and likely last) dance recital. The girls wore tap shoes and danced to the “Lion King” song “Acunamatata”. They looked beautiful, though the word “dance” should have been used in the most general of terms.

Here is Stephie, Kristin and Katie doing their girl thing in the backyard – painting finger and toenails. The little ones love attention from their big sister.
