All these kids do is sing and dance and play

On Wednesday, Noah’s class at day care (and most of Brooklyn) went to Fort Greene Park to listen to some music.

When the show was finished, Miss Ella used bubbles to round the kids up.

 

Father’s Day/Opa’s Birthday

Tough year for Birthdays in the Urban Clan. Kate and Uncle Bugs’ Birthday was on Mother’s Day, and Opa’s Birthday fell on Father’s Day this year. To celebrate all this craziness, we crashed in on Emmett (who was celebrating his first Father’s Day), Lisa (Who has to wait a whole year for her first Mother’s Day), and 9 day old Declan.

Lil’ Napper.

Declan!

Urban men.

This is the moment when Emmett figured it all out…

Emmett’s pretty good with those tongs.

Meanwhile in the backyard, the hero of our story was waging a battle of his own.

The happy (sleepy) couple.

Thanks to Emmett and Lisa for having us all over.

I also want to thank the place where I dropped of this computer to be fixed last Monday. What was going to be a 2-3 day repair turned into a stressful and agonizing 6 days.

Lunch.. yum.

Saturday afternoon The Deaner’s invited some friends over for a BBQ, and they let us Holt’s stick around.

The Charest’s came over. Lil’ Tyler’s cheeks got some attention.

I brought some new beer from Brooklyn for everyone to try (*this blog does not advocate, or facilitate, under age drink. Online or in person).

Noah getting batting lessons.

Tyler getting driving lessons.

They boys yelling (roaring) at me.

After dinner, things got romantic on the couch while watching Handy Manny.

Thanks to The Deaner’s for hosting a BBQ, and letting us stay for it. Also big up The Charest’s for making the drive over to chill.

 

The Westlake’s are leaving

Exercise, Friends, Partying Comments Off on The Westlake’s are leaving

Saturday we made sure the stroller was well loaded up as we went to a going-away party in Prospect Park for Isaac, his parents Mike and Debbie, and Isaac’s little sister August. They are deserting us and moving back to England.

Party season.

Charlotte!

Savannah!

Lil’ August (Augie)!

Isaac and Augie’s dad dressed perfectly for a theme I wasn’t aware of.

This really does sum up Brooklyn style at the moment though. Dudes in short-shorts cooking lamb chops in the park.

Rita, Caique’s mom, got into the party theme.

Corn balls.

Caique joined in.

Sack race!

Mr. Andy and Derby, line judges.

Savannah swiped her dads sunglasses.

Then Noah wanted his sunglasses.

We’ll miss them Westlake’s.
