The overdue massive photo dump

So here’s a ridiculous number of pictures and videos of my dear children.  Since I’m posting so seldom these days, you get them all at once.  You’re welcome.  Or, I’m sorry.  One of those.

Tessa’s been having some crazy hair lately.  I think she may end up with the curly hair after all.

Such a sweet little ham

My sleeping angel

First pigtails!

We had a family cookout at the country last weekend.  Of course, the mud puddles were irresistible to the kiddos.  

Which ended up necessitating Tessa being transported to the creek like this:

And Eli getting “bathed” like this

How my children ended up so filthy while our niece, Ali, ended up without a speck of dirt on her is beyond me. :)

Our church had their big annual birthday Sunday celebration last weekend as well.  There were bouncy houses… 

And makeshift sprinklers (aka hose pipes that had sprung a leak).  Definitely a favorite with the small kiddies.  

This is what “relaxing on the couch” looks like for me these days.

The blurriness of the photos is a very accurate portrayal of how relaxing of an experience this really is.  I wouldn’t change it for anything, though.

And last but not least, I just have to share these videos.

He’s so going to love that this is on the internet one day. 

And that’s all for today.  Check back for another incredible long picture dump in a couple of months!
