Mark's Family's Visit and June Birthdays

It's always a happy day when Mark, Michelle, Hailey, Caleb, Thadeus, Kate and Nina come to town.

Mark is the baby of the family. I'll have to say the babies in his family are definitely growing up. Hailey, Caleb and Thad are getting very tall. Kate and Nina aren't little babies any more, that's for sure.

Time for the birthdays. Everyone listens with rapt attention to the announcement from Mom for which people get to blow out the candles in June. We missed our June 2nd birthday boy--Eli.

June 3rd goes to Brooke Golden--age 5 and getting anxious to go to Kindergarten.

June 28th means Caroline would soon be turning 3.

Caleb got to town just in time to get to blow out his 13 candles.

And look at Andy turning ___? Let's just say he gets older every year.

We woke up to 3s all around the house on Caroline's birthday.

Here's the birthday girl eating her birthday breakfast.

Here's Spencer trying to rip off one of the 3s.

Brooke and Caroline colored for a while until it was time to go to the new house.

We all wanted to see what the new house looked like with carpet in it. The carpet man was there tacking down the edges. It was much nicer in there to sit on the carpet to play.

That evening after dinner the birthday girl got to open up her presents.

And she had a birthday cake and candles.

Day after her birthday, Caroline and Brooke picked out which of the new bows they were going to wear in their hair.

Spencer got busy ripping off another one of the 3s.

The end of June meant no more birthday parties for me to take care of for the Golden girls and it also meant Dallas and Rebecca were indeed moving out of here. New house--here they come!!!!
