Tuesdays with Grandma Paula...

Grandma like to take Mateo to the mall to play with the puppies and get ice cream

Auntie Elisa visits from Chicago land

Maria knitted a pair of booties for new baby Nicholas across the street...who has yet to make his debut. He'll be a week overdue on her birthday, but wouldn't that be fun to have a bday buddy?

The boys trying out some way too big inline skates...

.....but they did pretty well

EMU doesn't celebrate "Bring your kids to work day" any more, but since the kids were off school, daddy was kind enough to come with 5 of the 7 and pay mom a visit at work. Mikey, Peter and Paulina even got permission to stay the rest of the day with mom at work! Thanks to wonderful coworkers happy to cuddle baby, mom was able to survive and actually even get some work done in between requests from the boys to throw the ball from the ball chair and eat snacks from the HeartWalk fundraiser snack box...
