Houston

"Can we go to Kinsey and Grayson's house?"- Annabelle to me about 10 times a day.

We had a blast in Houston visiting with Aunt Steph, Uncle Bryan and the twins. A loved having a sleepover and going to the zoo to see the tigers. The kids have so much fun together and we love watching them play. Can't wait until they come to see us in July!

Headed to Houston.

Field Trips

Annabelle is on Summer break for May and most of June. So, since I am still on maternity leave and Mimi is close by we decided to do some "field trips." Over the past weeks we have been to the Dallas Museum of Art, the fountains at Klyde Warren Park, story time at the library, Children's Aquarium, Texas Discovery Gardens and the Arboretum among others. These trips have been lifesavers since it keeps Annabelle happy and helps me keep my sanity! I have really enjoyed spending this time with her.

Here are some pics of the many different trips. Hold on to your hat... there are a lot of them!

The Pool is Open!

Hooray! Mimi and Gramps opened the pool last weekend and A and Stephen were the first to jump in. We can't wait to get back in the pool soon! Summer is going to be so much fun!

Weekly pics

I have so many pics that I take during the week. I have a hard time choosing/narrowing down for these posts. This blog has become a photo dump for all of my pics! I don't really feel bad tho, I think when the kiddos are older they will appreciate the memories. Anyway, here is the latest round of my fav pics of the week.

Crazy hair day!

E doesn't like hats as much as I do!

Safety Day

The LECPTA held their annual safety day event at Lakewood park last weekend. They have local firemen, police, pilots ect come out and talk to the kids about what they do and give safety tips. I thought A would love this event. Especially since there was going to be a fire truck, motorcycles and even a helicopter. I was wrong. She was terrified and clung to Stephen the entire event. I only got a couple of pics with her smiling. Maybe next year she will participate in this event. 

E slept the whole time. Even slept through the helicopter landing!!

2 Months

Ethan is 2 months and growing very quickly. At his check up he weighed 10.2 lbs (4th %) and is 21.75 in long (5th %). He is making great eye contact and has a smile that will melt your heart. He is ticklish on his belly and coos right before he spits up. He has a strong neck and can hold his head up for a pretty good amount of time. He still has reflux and is taking medicine that helps. Ethan is not a great sleeper but I have high hopes that is will get better in the next couple weeks. His average is 3.5 to 4 hours at night....

Weekends

I live for the weekends, especially when the weather is so nice. The past two weekends have been filled with Arboretum visits, plenty of park time and even some pool action. Here is a roundup of some of the highlights.
