Henny's 3rd birthday (and other festivities)

Three years ago today I gave birth to tiny Henley Cate, a little sweetie with a big personality. We love this girl and enjoy seeing how sharp and determined she is! Jake & I took the day off to have a special date with the littlest Seltz. We snuggled on the couch, went out for pancakes, and explored the Children's Museum with her. She goes here weekly with Nanny so she showed us around and even knew the picture on each floor of the parking garage. Later we celebrate with Sister and finished off the birthday cake. I am so lucky to have two wonderful daughters who are currently in bed and not bugging me so I can blog about how wonderful they are.

 

happy to be three!

Amidst all the birthday fun, there was...more birthday fun. As you know, Annika T. had the other FROZEN party which ended with the entire Kindergarten Class B and Henley Seltz singing "Let It Go". Little sister just had to get in on the action!

Lo Lo celebrated her 8th birthday with a super fun pool party/jumpy house/ campfire party on Friday night. The kids swam and the adults enjoyed the lovely weather. Gramsie Hol  enjoyed Andy's famous margaritas. After Nori bit down too hard on a snorkel, her loose tooth started bleeding. It wasn't long until Nurse Ho R.N yanked that sucka out! The Tooth Fairy made her visit to our house!

We have been outside every free moment. We have already eaten many suppers on the porch and spent late nights chatting outside. We took the kids swimming at the new Como pool, too. It's only May and we have been swimming twice!  Also, $400 later we have our laptop back.  Think twice before leaving your new touch screen on the floor while your kids act out the battle scenes from Mulan.

summer!

swimming like a fish, thank you FO$$
