Are there monkeys in the tree?

Lukas was excited that Karen and Hannah came over for lunch and playtime today ("how much longer until Hannah gets here?" was the question all morning long). Lukas had fun making limeade for the lunch and Natalie thoroughly enjoyed it when Hannah wanted to push her in the swing. It seems I am constantly distracted and not able to carry on a conversation when I have three kids around, so it was nice that Konrad chose to nap during most of the visit so Karen and I could talk a bit...he woke up right at the end so they got to hold him and he got to shower them with smiles.

Here's a picture of the kids in the tree out front (note the extra hand in the picture--Karen holding Natalie in case Lukas got too excited).

Thanks for coming over, Karen and Hannah! We had a very fun time!
