No, it wasn't raining, but they take the name "umbrella stroller" seriously.
After all that playing, there is nothing better than taking a nap with Grandpa.
Who can resist reading a story with Grandpa? Apparently, no one.
My family gave me a little break so I could work on my sharing time lesson for Sunday. They went for a walk around Pennypack Park. I think Kirill ran six miles--for some reason. I never did ask why he had to do it. Hmmm...I guess I was a little self absorbed there for a minute. The bump in the stroller is Miriam. Apparently she fell asleep on the walk over and then she woke up and Shaylynn fell asleep on the walk home.
We had a little birthday party for Miriam since her birthday is in a few weeks. My family gave her some presents and my mom bought her a HUGE balloon. Miriam has always asked for one for her birthday whenever we go to Party City. Thankfully I'm off the hook now. Dad, Mom, Kirill, Kairat: Thanks for the presents, the cake, and the company!
My mom bought the cake, but Miriam added her name (with a little help). Grandma added the Happy Birthday. Miriam was very kind and let Shaylynn help her blow out the candles. I think Shaylynn was able to blow out more than Miriam, but I'm surprised she didn't end up eating the candles.
These pictures were taken right before they left for the airport. I'm amazed we looked as happy as we did. Believe me, tears flowed moments later.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!! What a fun visit! I bet the girls will remember this FOREVER! :)
It looks like everyone had so much fun!
Very cute cake! It looks like that boy's hair is on fire! I just looked at my watch to see when Miriams birthday is. I am such a retard...I better get on the ball and get a card mailed out!!!
Looks like you've got such a fun family. It is always fun to have family come and visit and sad to see them leave!
It's always a nice relief when family comes... they help take the burden off of parenting for a while. I'm glad you had a fun time.
I am so glad that your family came to visit! Sounds like you had a great time! And such a great family! I understand what your saying about how hard it is to see them leave. It always takes me about week to back into the swing of things! It not fun at all!!!!!
I don't think I have told you this or not, but I had your dad for a semester when I was at BYU_I and it was the semester when he went over to the Baltic States and picked up the two boys and he came back after like 2 weeks or so and gave a presentation on his trip. I thought it was really cool what they did. And yes, I did pass the class, though I still don't know how to use Excel.
Yay! That is AWESOME that your family came to visit! Sounds like it was wonderful! I love the pictures, you are such a cute family.
