I guess it was a busy weekend after all...

I'm sure by now you all have guessed correctly that my brother was in town, again, to take pictures of our kids.  Yes, we had our plate full of activities/events to be at but this past weekend was a bit different... more special.  It was my brother's Birthday!  He chose to spend it with his nieces/nephews.  We are so grateful to have such a wonderful uncle!  

Yes, we had a soccer tournament & a gymnastics championship to go to this weekend, but it all had to wait until our piano recitals were done.  It was to be our boys' last piano recital.  With their demanding schedule it has become too difficult to keep up with the piano.

and then after the piano recital we went to grab some sweet treats!

Saturday evening we treated our Birthday Boy to a Chicago-style Pizzaria...
