Just a small picture of the madness. This picture doesn't really do it justice.

Angelina...playing so sweetly.
Lizzy and Evan working on their rock band.
Matt usually ends up working as a jungle gym at these parties, and last night was no exception. Don't feel badly...he encourages it and usually gets a couple of kids in trouble.

We decided to buy our new house for the room, for us as a family and to have people over. We have been lucky enough to have had several playdates here and to celebrate Mother's Day here. We wanted this to be a family house, so we pushed it to the limit last night when we invited over my work friends and their families. We had 11 kids here at one point, and it was great. Thanks everyone for coming and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH! Don't worry...I won't post how old :)

Almost every Saturday starts out with breakfast with my mom. This Sat. Lizzy was joined by "Abba" (Abuelo) and Cousin Bevin. She learned to cross her legs watching my dad, and then we hung out and wait for Gymboree (or "Ball" as Lizzy calls it).

Lizzy has been "talking" for a while now, but this week something happened. She started speaking in sentences that made sense :)

In the past the sentences were just combinations of blabbering and words, but on Sunday (a Mother's Day present to me) Lizzy started saying several new words and then on Monday morning when I got her out of her crib she had a sentence for me.
She preceded to tell me that she had an owwie (sp?) and that it was her lip. I then asked her if she got it from jumping in her bed...she then said "YEAH!!!" It was so funny because it was almost a scream of excitement, and it was funny to finally hear some form of yes. We have had no down for quite a while, but I guess it just takes girls a little longer to learn how to go with the crowd :)

Lizzy at Railcats Stadium.
Lizzy's cool, cool shades. She won't take them off and is constantly asking for "eyes, eyes".
I got to see Hillary Clinton from five rows back when she came to Washington Township in March.
Lizzy in her new chair!
Our first playdate in our new house. We were so excited that Ty and Zoe could both stay for supper.

We're back...after a month with no internet acces (or at least access to our blog) here are some pictures of our month in-between houses.
