Monthly visit to MD

Fozzie enjoying her lemon at breakfast.

I think we've already mentioned to everyone that Katy has re-named herself Fozzie. It started as an occasional role she liked to play, but now she insists on being called Fozzie all the time. Grandpa surprised her by giving her a Fozzie hand-puppet that used to belong to my brothers and me when we were little. She was in LOVE.

I met up with some old high school friends, Katie, Rob, and Jeddy. I hadn't seen Rob and Jeddy in at least a decade! We brought all our kids together for a playdate. I thought I had forgotten my camera, but I found it in my purse at McDonald's.

Here are Connor, Katy, Mabel, and Robbie.
Blaine slept through dinner. Luckily, he had already eaten.

Katy and Mabel looking gorgeous.

I love the look on Robbie's face in this picture.

Jeddy entertaining Ruby.

Rob and Katie, plus Mabel and Ruby.

Here they are again, posing for the camera this time.

Katy sits on Jed's lap for a french fry or two.

Katy and her cousin Jessica have matching shoes!

Katy and her cousin Nicolas mow the driveway with extremely gender-specific toy lawnmowers.

But they refused to be confined by traditional gender roles.

Jessica lookin' cute.

Jessica shows Katy her books.

It's Brayden (Nicolas and Jessica's cousin on their mama's side)!

Nicolas is a mini-Brian!
