Last weekend

Mario brought home a turtle he found around the lake across the street (no, not little Mario). But MJ was very excited about it. We released it shortly after we observed the little guy. We hope he's okay back in the wild.

We enjoyed the warm weather on Saturday and went on a rollerblade down the W&OD to the park. I'm gonna say it's 5 miles each way, but it's so much easier if you're not the one pushing or towing the kids.

MJ had a momentus swing breakthrough and actually was able to pump himself into swinging motion. We'll see if this skill sticks.

That night, we took our sweaty park boys to the Kazas to visit with Christian, Michelle and Natalie who were stopping through. Joey was interested in his little cousin.

This was a very tricky picture to get right before bedtime. I think Tabitha has the best one. Joey is actually 2 1/2 months younger than Catherine, though it looks like he's as big as Catherine and Natalie put together.
