willy and mama

relaxing in the pool

this is the life!

riley loves her grammy & pepere

napping in the screen tent with pepere or chilling with grammy under the umbrella

she was living it up too :)

Grammy, Aunt Milly & Uncle Richie wanted to play Wist, so Dan joined them, teaching Krissy along the way.

And last but not last, Dad with the cutest little trio of brothers, Ben, Patrick & Connor!

What a cute little bunch!

This family pool day has become a bit of a tradition.

We all hung out this same weekend in July last year [as this One Week Until Willy layout conveys-- now its about a week until his 1st birthday!!].

Its amazing the difference a year makes.

Krissy was ready to pop but still eager to play cards as much as possible (we did get in a good long game of Hand & Foot this year too).

Megg & Emelyn were visiting, waiting for Willy to make his entrance into the world...

and soon they will be moving home for good!
