Our weekend

We traveled to see the Jones family over the weekend. We've known them since college, and they actually gave us credit for meeting each other! We're happy to have been a part of making this lovely family exist ;)  Our friends, the Martins, joined us on Saturday afternoon and it was so much fun spending the weekend together.

They live right across the street from a playground, and Saturday morning we took the girls there to play.  Eliana has the same bike helmet as Chloe!!

We had a great time playing (and not taking pictures) and then headed back home for lunch.  Afternoon naps were enjoyed and then we headed outside for some water play.

Judah and April playing in the smallest backyard pool ever:

Judah left the pool, but April loved sitting and splashing!

Look at Kevin's face...I don't think he thought Chloe would actually spill water on him.....Neither did Dallas....only Natalie was taking cover at this point.....

But she did!! :)  At least Dallas had Judah's hat as a shield ;)
This picture makes me laugh because it's three adults terrified of about a 1/4 cup of water :)

Later in the afternoon, Kevin sprayed Chloe....

and then let her have the hose.....um, didn't he remember that other time?  She sprayed him, of course :)

Saturday night, after the kids were sleeping, some babysitters came over & the 6 of us went out for dinner & ice cream.  There was a 45 minute wait for the restaurant, but, with no kids, we just enjoyed the wait and walked around the side streets of the cute little town.  We also ate at 9:30 at night, which would have also never happened with kids along :)  Thank you to the Jones' for arranging the sitter!


Our whole group was ready with enough time to take a picture before church.  Amazing.

The kids! Can't wait for many more pictures like this as the years go by.  Thanks for the great visit Jeff and Liz! :)

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...

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

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 ...
