Happy Independence Day!

We spent a great day with Grandpa today! Liliana and Graves adore their Grandpa! Thanks for the fun time Dad! Short of missing fireworks, Graves was just too tired to try and add that into the mix, it was a perfect day!

Thomas Live! More pictures!

Thomas Live!

Thanks to the wonderful people at Mom Select and AEG ThemeStar we were able to go see Thomas & Friends Live! On Stage: A Circus Comes To Town. The show was great! Liliana loved every minute of it! We also got to take Juliana with us, which made it so much more fun for us all! Even though she doesn't obsess over Thomas like Liliana, she still enjoyed the show! I was impressed that the girls sat still for the entire 90 minute show! It was very entertaining! Liliana loved the music and singing along with the songs she knows! It was well worth the trip down to Charlotte! We are looking forward to seeing another Thomas Live show next year! There are still some shows in July, so check out www.ThomasLive.com to see if a show is playing near you! :)

"The all-new 90-minute musical adventure Thomas & Friends™ Live! On Stage: A Circus Comes To Town is packed with audience singalongs, high-energy dancing and thrilling adventures. When Thomas makes a big mistake, all the engines on the Island of Sodor must work together to prepare for the exciting event under the Big Top as Thomas proves he's a really useful engine once again. Along the way, Percy, James, Gordon, and of course Thomas, join with Sir Topham Hatt and the townspeople from the Island of Sodor to welcome a colorful cast of circus performers in an engaging story that demonstrates the importance of friendship and cooperation."

Happy Father's Day from Liliana and Graves!

We spent a relaxing day at home for Father's Day. Ira cooked for his dad and we just enjoyed some time with family.

More pictures from Thomas at Tweetsie

Mommy took Liliana back to Tweetsie one last time before he went "home".

Thomas the Train at Tweetsie

For those who don't know, Liliana is THE biggest Thomas the Train fan! She wakes and sleeps Thomas. She loves all the trains and has a wishlist for those trains that she doesn't have! Seriously!

In June Tweetsie Railroad has a day out with Thomas! Liliana has been looking forward to it for months (and is already waiting until "Thomas comes back from Sodar Island again"!) She was every bit as amazed as I was hoping she would be! It made our season passes worth every penny we didn't have to spend on them ;)

Rainy days are good for, taking pictures

This is what our May and June looked like! It rained SOO much in May, I think we had something like 5 days where it DIDN'T rain at some point during the day!




Kids just being silly kids :)
