We enjoyed a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Carrithers over the weekend. They were here to meet Finn as well as enjoy some time with Luke, Liam, and Aiden. Despite the rainy weekend, we had a wonderful time. The boys enjoyed trips to the Science Museum and Aquarium as well as time to work on puzzles, legos, and read books with Grandpa and Grandma. I failed to take a lot of pictures over the weekend, but will post a few cute ones I managed to take. Most of all, the boys loved all the extra attention and having someone new to play with and talk to. Thanks for visiting, Grandma and Grandpa Carrithers!
For our 11th anniversary, John gave me a set of "Willow Tree" figurines by an artist named Susan Lordi. Each figurine represents a member of our family and the children are each called "roses in my garden." I found the following quote from the artist very poignant.
"Roses are a universal symbol of love. Like children, they require extra care, patience, and hard work from the gardener. But when they bloom, they're outstanding. Their combination of intense fragrance, color, and beautiful form is worth all the effort."

| MR. ANIMATION! I took these pictures of Aiden entertaining Finn one morning after the big boys had gone to kindergarten. Aiden is so animated and loves to entertain his brother Finn. Actually, he loves to entertain just about anyone, but Finn is very attentive! |
