With a Little Help from my Friends

We are so fortunate to have truly wonderful friends. We totally took advantage of the generous nature of the Ally & Christian and moved in for a few weeks until we close on our new house. It's been awesome. We cook for one another, take turns grocery shopping and have constant playmates for the kids. We're not sure why we're leaving!

The kids are in heaven. They are obsessed with each other. Jack wakes up saying Taffe's name, and even climbs in to keep Taffe company during nap.
Jack and Maggie have taught Taffe so much. He is now a pro at going down stairs and has become more adventurous with food. They have also taught him how to be an artist.

Taffe drew his very first picture with markers, and was very excited. He kept trying to smell the markers.

The kids all love dramatic play. Taffe likes to cook in the kitchen while Maggie and Jack love dress-up. Check out Jack's sparkly shoes.

Whether we were running through the sprinklers,

Or splashing at the pool,

We are going to miss living with our friends. Taffe loves having playmates and pushing the baby doll stroller with Maggie.

Christopher and I are so thankful we have wonderful friends who welcomed us and didn't seem to mind the added chaos. As a family of 8, we ate a lot, and laughed even more!
