Fun with friends

Last week Ashleigh came into town to visit with her son, Griffin. We had a nice visit, took the boys for a short walk and let them play in the backyard. Griffin brought Jack a sit-n-spin for his birthday. Between the 3 kiddos and us talking, it took Ash & I about an hour to figure out how to put it together. We are both college graduates, but we didn't major in toy assembly ;) Now that it is fully assembled and functioning, Jack loves to play the music (yes, this is a fancy sit-n-spin) and dance around the house.

Here are Jack & Griffin playing together in the bounce house. They got along great, just like their mommies.

Ash & Ben.
We also had an emergency get together at our house over the weekend. Most weekends when Wayne is on shift, the lovely ladies from the fire department get together with the kiddos. We had originally planned to go over to Keith & Lisa's, but I got the boys in the car and turned the key over and then realized the car battery was dead (I let Jack play in the car while I unloaded groceries. He turned on the interior dome light and I didn't notice until I tried to leave the following afternoon). So the party moved to our house. Here is Jack having dinner with his fire department family: Aidan, Chloe and Aileen.
This afternoon Ben rolled over for the first time in a long time. Here is a picture of him just before he rolled and below is a picture of him just after. I had the camera in my hand the whole time that it happened, but was so caught up in the moment that I didn't think to snap pictures. Duh!
