Painted "callapillars" and another tooth!

On Friday, our friends "Miss" Amber, "Miss" Sommer, and Maddie came over to visit. Sommer is adventurous; she brought egg cartons so the kids could do a craft. The kids painted caterpillars (or "callapillars," as Grace was calling them), and then we made antennae out of pipe cleaners. They had a good time with the paints, which were generously given to us by one of Luke's coworkers. (Kim, if you ever happen to read this, thank you!) We had a fun visit with our friends!

Just thought I'd throw this one in to show how flexible our little girl is. While the kids were at the table, she sat quite happily in her high chair with her foot up by her ear! How many of you can put your feet up by your ears? Not me! Oh, and speaking of Ava, her second tooth popped out today!

The weather was beautiful today! We spent a good portion of the day outside. In the morning, the kids took turns riding the lawn mower with Daddy and riding around on the little quad that "Grandma and Papa" Rumley gave them. Caleb can't steer worth beans, but he had fun. (Sorry, I was too busy making sure he didn't run into the house or the pond to get a picture of him!) But Grace did great. She loves that thing! Luke says she must take after "Papa" Liabenow, because she was such a daredevil!

Tomorrow is Father's Day, and the cards I bought for our dads are currently sitting on our counter. So, we're going to celebrate "Father's Week" and send them out on Monday! :-) Sorry, Dads! We do love you, and we'll be celebrating you tomorrow. Thanks for your godly leadership in our families and your godly examples in our lives!

Aww, you brought tears to my eyes. Yep, our "fathers" are amazing (both yours and Luke's).

The kids look like they are having such fun. Wish we could see them in action. Glad Grace likes the 4-wheeler. Tobin would be proud!
