Memorial Day Weekend

Our long weekend was spent with some out-of-state relatives here visiting. There was shopping, golfing, grilling, and lots of laughs. Adam really enjoyed spending time with the girls and hunting golf balls. It was a great way to spend the holiday and kickoff summer.

Silliness

It seems Adam can make Evan laugh no matter what he does. I love watching them interact. Here is just a little video of Adam being silly.

May Birthdays

Soren and Hanna both have May birthdays, so we had one big party to celebrate Soren turning 4 and Hanna turning 2. Soren chose a pirate theme and Hanna loves Minnie Mouse.

Soren was dressed as Jake from the cartoon "Jake and the Neverland Pirates". The boys love to pretend they are on stage and do lots of entertaining.

Soren received a few pirate accessories as gifts so Adam dressed up too.

Hanna let Adam help her open gifts

Amy with Evan. He can't wait to keep up with the kids rather than just watching their every move.

Singing to Hanna

Soren's turn - he made sure to blow the candles out in one try.

We had lots of fun at your party! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOREN AND HANNA!

Happy Mother's Day

It was a wonderful Mother's Day weekend spent with both of our moms and I received a little pampering from my family too!

My sweet boys! Thanks for making it special day!!

Evan - 8 months

We have seen a few newborn babies recently and it just reminds me how big Evan is getting. Here is what he is up to at 8 months:

• He scoots around on his tummy (mostly in circles). He is starting to get up on all fours though, so I'm sure it won't be long before he figures out crawling.
• He has started eating some finger foods and does a good job picking them up and getting them to his mouth. He eats fruits/vegetables for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He has stopped eating rice cereal and oatmeal for me. He locks his mouth shut every time I try.
• He now has both of his bottom teeth. He had a double ear infection while it was cutting this last tooth, so I hope the next ones are a little easier.
• He is getting into a pretty good nap routine, a short morning nap and a longer afternoon nap. He sometimes takes a third nap at dinner time depending on how long he sleeps in the afternoon.
• Has the cutest little giggle every time we tickle him.
• Is entertained by watching Adam and wants whatever toys he is playing with. I hope that Adam's constant affection for Evan won't change once Evan starts crawling and getting into a lot more.
• Still loves his pacifier. It helps keep him from drooling so much and from putting every toy in his mouth.
• Loves sitting with toys and clapping them together.
