What a difference 1.5 years makes!


Aubrey

...plus a few of both of the girls!  After Aubrey woke up from her nap, I had to give her a bath anyway, so she got in on the curly hair photoshoot action too!






















Natalie

The girls were gone for a week and today we are just vegging out at home. It was so nice to have a quiet, stress-free house for a week, but we did miss their antics, noise, and mess. Well, I didn't miss their mess or having to tell them to pick up, etc, but it's good to have them back!

They had a blast while they were away and got to do all kinds of fun stuff! Swimming, 4 different splash pads, took in a South Bend Cubs game, visited Silver Beach, went to the zoo, and just played 'til their hearts content!  They are already asking when they can go back!

Today, since we were just hanging out at home, Natalie asked if she could have her nails painted, so both girls got a manicure and pedicure. While Aubrey was napping, Natalie let me curl her hair. We are getting family/maternity pictures taken tomorrow night so I wanted to see if curling Natalie's hair was worth it for pictures tomorrow, so we did a trial photoshoot. She looks so grown up!  Her attitude lately, although most of the time is helpful, reflects a 4 year old going on 14!

Sorry for the picture overload, but I liked seeing these in color and BW.

Brodzinski Family Reunion 2015

We had a great turnout of just under or over 50 people!  That's even with some people that couldn't make it!  The weather was great, too! No rain, just right in the shade with a bit of a breeze and perfect in the sun to swim!  It's fun to see how many kids we now have at the reunion because it seemed just a few years back there were hardly any kids at all and now they are multiplying like crazy!


Bobby got trained on corn roasting this year!  He passed inspection...lol!






Passing of the baton...or should I say hose and corn?!








Sarah is my aunt (10 years older than me) and our kids are all around the same age. She has 2 boys and is due with a baby girl in 5ish weeks and obviously we have 2 girls and due with a baby boy in 8ish weeks!  So, my Grandpa Barry has grandkids and great-grandkids the same age...you don't have that in your family very often!

Bobby and I are the Cornhole Tournament Champions now 2 years running!!
