COPC Retreat 2015

Scenes from our annual church retreat.  

Amelie cried (again!) when we left..

Roasting smores:

First church lip syc contest. Livingstons were all in!

 Lots and lots of sports for kids young and old

Birthday at the Arboretum

Sunday the family humored me with a trip to one of my favorite places: the arboretum.

The pictures are always so lovely...with a hearty dose of goofy.

It was a lovely afternoon

Ball Games

Dem has loved playing softball for school.

Charlie came over to give his thoughts about the pitcher.  

Machen is wrapping up middle school sports and has loved this season

Finally, both are in choir and cleaned up for the spring concert.

Sunday

Arguing because Machen was standing on his tip-toes... 

Baseball

Baseball season has begun with all four kids playing.

The big kids play at school (pics to come later).

 Desperate for a place to sit, he took it. 

 First time playing softball and she's serious

Easter

Better late than never...

He wasn't thrilled with my choice of clothing for him

Snuck a smile out of him.. 

The egg hunt, however, brought abundant smiles

The lunch guests chatting and watching. 

Paris: Round 1

Obviously these are pics from Mom...

The first day they did a bike tour of the city.

The kids LOVED it.

For me (and Aunt Lisa!):

Dinner in the apartment
