Weekend Fun

We had a great weekend! It started on Thursday when Chloe went to Grandma & Grandpa's house for a sleepover and Kevin and I went to a Third Day concert. We had general-admission tickets, but walked by a security man at just the right time, found out we could sit in seats on the floor-level, and ended up 10 rows back from the stage! It was a great show and I was really excited to be in a chair instead of a bleacher seat!!

We got to visit with Laura, Bill, and Connor on Friday night for dinner when we went to my parents to pick up Chloe. She had a wonderful time at their house ~ lots of laughing and practicing "Bill" (to go along with "Lawa" and "bay-bee"). Connor is getting really big! He's bigger than Chloe was at two months :)

Then! On Saturday morning we packed up everything and headed to visit our friends Jeff and Liz and their little girl Eliana. After nap time on Saturday afternoon we went to the park across the street from their house (literally) and had a great time watching the girls play. Both Kevin and Jeff assisted on the slides & getting up and down the steps -- but some of the slides were the perfect height to let the girls go down all by themselves:




They loved it! Eliana and Chloe both got to ride down the big slides too:

(side note: you can't tell me that Chloe and Kevin don't look the same - this pictures proves it! :) )



These girls would have stayed at the park all day! Look at these happy faces:


We had much more on the agenda - eating BBQ for dinner at City Barbeque (which was excellent!) and then walking through the downtown area and stopping for some organic ice-cream. This place had some interesting flavors - Kevin had Riesling Poached Pear and Wildberry Lavender ... I had Salty Carmel and Brown Butter Almond Brittle. It was really good stuff! :)

When we got back to Jeff & Liz's place it was almost bed time for the girls....but not before a bath!

After playing a few games and chatting until 'late' at night, we headed to bed and then had a wonderful breakfast on Sunday morning before going to church. After church, Liz and I had to get a picture taken. Liz was pregnant with Eliana at the same time I was pregnant with Chloe:

We're also pregnant together this time, the same amount of time in between our due dates as last time!! Liz is due at the end of August (and makes me look really short in this picture! I should have stood on a stool or something!)


The guys had to have a picture with the girls too because we did that the first time we met Eliana. Here they are in March 2010:

and March 2011:

Thank you for hosting us for the weekend Liz and Jeff! You are excellent hosts! Chloe has been wandering around today saying "Ell-y", proof that she had a wonderful time as well :)

Yey! Great post! :) We had a wonderful time with all of you as well, & are excited that the next time we see you, you will have a beautiful new baby. Eliana definitely misses Chloe as well ... I asked her today if she missed her friend, and she did the sign for 'yes'...it was so cute...

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
