March Madness

We're a family of 7 this week as my sister went off to Jamaica for a week, leaving us with the two best 8-year-old babysitters ever. It's actually significantly easier with them around.

Here are some catch-up photos:
- M&J cheering on the women's hockey team in the gold medal game

- building a snowman with the cousins

- here's a shot of the backyard rink, which was going strong until today's melt. That might be it for the skating season

- Erin giving me some triathlon tips - have to stay low on the bike

- wizard hats and wands - the activities never cease

- baking a birthday cake for the big twins - note all of Kate's kids stuffing batter in their mouths

- watching the final period of the men's hockey final - before Parise gave me a heart attack. The kids were riveted, as you can tell.

- this one gives a sense of how much Molly likes her big cousin Erin
