What We've Been Up To

It's about time I post some more pics of the kids and give an update on what's been going on in our household. We've had Erik home for 7 glorious days and have been enjoying our family time. Erik's been working on various projects around the house (LOTS of weeds to cut down) and I've been doing the usual...caring for kids and trying to keep the house from becoming a disaster area. v`q
Nana and Papa came for a fun visit for Father's Day weekend. The chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream pie we ate was great for my weaightloss efforts :).
The babies had their 6 month apt. Aiden is now 20 lbs. 6 oz. and Ashley is 16 lbs. 9 oz. Aiden is in the 85th pecentile for weight and Ashley is in the 50th. Aiden is already wearing 9-12 month clothing. Aiden has started sitting up on his own for a couple of minutes at a time. Ashley is not quite ready, but she rolls better than Aiden. It's fun to see all the differences between the babies as they develop, both in personality and physical ability.





Tyler is also growing leaps and bounds. I keep threatening to put him in a "stop-growing machine" but he doesn't seem to like that idea. He is quite the conversationalist and has lots of "four-year-old-boy" energy. He still adores his brother and sister and is very helpful with them.
We hope to take Nana and Papa's travel trailer to the beach for 4th of July week. We will park it right near the entrance of where Erik goes to work (If we are lucky enough to secure a first-come, first-served site). Erik will go to and from the campsite for work that week.
O.K., we are off to meet Hannah and her three boys at the park for a picnic and play. We are looking forward to lots of fun summer activities.

Tyler told me he could fit in the wagon with Aiden and Ashley, and I wasn't sure I believed him. Well he does. The wagon is a great twin entertainer. I learned from experience. Mommy got to fix snacks and everyone's dinner while I did loops around the yard. Aiden fell asleep and it was pretty funny.

They are so cute!! Ashley looks so much like a girl. (sometimes you can't tell) It's all in her eyes! Tyler is looking very tall and like a "big boy".

You really have a couple of whopping boys there! All three are gorgeous. Even last year, Tyler was a good conversationalist--initiating a conversation with me even though he really did not know me.

I'm looking forward to meeting the twins. I guess I'm going to have to drive northward some weekend.
