BEACH day

Saturday the Otto's came down for the day.  What fun we had!  We went to the beach for most of the morning (of course I forgot my camera).  The kids had so much fun playing together.  Luke & Lily are 6 weeks apart.  Charlotte & Ella are 8 weeks apart.

weekend retreat

This past weekend friends of ours kept the girls so Jake & I could celebrate our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We were in Minnesota on our actual anniversary.  We dropped off the girls Saturday around 11 am & picked them up Sunday at 10 am.  It was a wonderful 23 hours (not that we were counting or anything) that Jake & I could spend alone & together....THREE meals that we did not have to say, "sit still, eat one more bite, etc..."  

Here are some pictures of what our girls did while we were celebrating. They had so much fun!
