backyard camping

I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to, well, anything outside.  This includes camping.  But it's good for the kids, and they love it, so we snuck in a night of backyard camping right before school started.

Fun in the tent.  I lasted until about 3am, then gave up and slept inside. 

Hanging by the fire, making s'mores...



Matt ended up with a projector this summer so we used it to watch a movie on the back of the house.  This was really fun!  We will have to do it again soon.

tiny golfers

Mini golf fun before school started this year.






gotcha day 16

Avika has been home with us for two years now!

We went out for Indian food to celebrate her gotcha day- think this will be an annual thing for us.  There is a festival/holiday in India around the same time as her gotcha day that celebrates siblings- it is the perfect time for us to celebrate these siblings!!

Family of SIX!  We love this little girl so much, so glad she is part of our family!
