May

May was filled with a lot of not very fun things like the passing of an amzing person and a great family friend, Jody McNees, some unanticipated surgery for Remy to remove a small tumor, and an unexpected visit to the ER followed by a short hospital stay for Erik who turned out to have developed a nasty bacterial infection in his stomach. The good news is that both Remy and Erik are doing just fine now and that May was also filled with some great things like....

A family picnic event at Momma's new work:

heading for the bouncy houses
bouncing with momma

A Memorial Day BBQ:

supervising Zach in the pool
Keira enjoying the freedom of childhood
both Aiden and Zach having a great time sharing Keira's trike

A trip to Napa:

with his precious (which also just happens to be a round rock from the fountain. I guess it's all about perspective, right?)

Having a snack with Daddy
And last but not least, a chance to show Nayana some love:

April

Spaghetti dinner = messy Aiden Sporting his new Disney PJs from Auntie Diane

Getting geared up for the Sharks game (check out my brand newly labeled Marleau jersey - thanks honey!)

Showing off one of his many recent bumps, bruises and cuts to his head. (Why is it always the head?)

Keira having fun on the swing at an impromptu afternoon BBQ

Bravely exploring the backyard and calling out, "Stephanie! Stephanie! I found some poop!" Not that Remy makes it too tough, but good job Keira, way to be on top of it. ;-)

Running around after Keira. Look how tall he's getting!!
