Well, summer is definitely here, my thermostat tells me so! I have been spending most of my days indoors with my beloved air conditioner! We have been playing outside and doing yard work in the mornings and evenings when it is slightly cooler. We just purchased this a new to us playset for our backyard! It is quite a sight. The day it was delivered Esme' could hardly function... all she could think about was her new playset. At dinner she just gazed out the window at it. It is pretty exciting I must admit. It is like having a park in our back yard! No doubt Esme' and Harper will get years of use out of this!
This smile hasn't left her face! 
Harper is growing like crazy~ where, oh where have the last 7 weeks gone?! He is smiling all the time and just on the verge of giggling. His hair is still pretty red and his eyes blue, however they appear to be changing to a greyish-blue... brown eyes in the works, maybe? We are currently working on some solutions to his hatred of riding in the car. That is the only time he is really unhappy and it results in a really stressed out mama behind the wheel! We have a plan though, I will post an update in a few days if it works.
Riley and Niko have been busy with friends and swimming, and I am embarassed to say that I have no recent pictures to post! I will corner them tonight for some past due photo updates! Tony has been working a lot of night shifts and the kids and I have not cooked in days. It has been sandwiches, wraps, salads, and occasionally take-out for us. I don't know what I'll do when I am expected to cook again...
