Playtime!

Arboretum

So today I had the lovely pleasure of taking our girls to the Morton Arboretum. It was a pretty nice day, although there was a chilly wind. I took my lovely mother with me, as you'll see in a few pictures. I thought there would be a lot more places that they could get out and "walk" around, but I was slightly disappointed. They do have some amazing playgrounds and courses that older kids can play on, so I look forward to being able to doing those things in the future. We did get to do a few slides and make our way through a shrub maze =)

So, if thats not the cutest thing you've ever seen, then I don't know what is. I'll post a video I have of this also, HILARIOUS. Its sideways, so bear with me and tilt your head. If you're not in a good mood, this video should cheer you up!

If you haven't heard, we've had some sick babies over here on Greenlake. First Rachel and then Ava. They've both had mighty fine surprises waiting in their cribs in the morning . . . . If you don't think the smell is bad when you walk in the room, you'll definitely think the chunks of food hanging in their hair in front of their eyes is just LOVELY. I almost took a picture for your enjoyment as later it actually seemed a bit funny. (Ava thought it was funny too, she thought it was a special toy danging just for her). This afternoon, however, tops it all. We were having a delicious lunch when Ava starts to look a bit . . . funny . . . . and then out it comes racing towards me! That tray just about saved my life.

"Baby" as in the late Baby Beluga is our new favorite word.

Teeth are stupid. Just ask them =)

April Showers

My my my, its been a long time since I have blogged. I went to LA for a few days, so today was my first day back. It seems like the girls get bigger every time I leave! Ava is definitely pulling up all over the place, standing against walls, refrigerators, toys, chairs. Rachel hasn't quite gotten to this stage, she still tends to flop down on her belly and stay there! Didn't have the car today, so spent the day playing in the house. We took rides in laundry baskets, crawled through tunnels, and shopped in the pantry!
