All Star Fun

A couple of weeks ago, we attended some of the All Star festivities in St. Louis. We happened upon the line to meet Jack Clark. He was quite friendly (and a fan of Will's Pumas). Note that we are not sexist, despite just having Will's picture taken with Jack Clark. Will, surprisingly, was in the best mood.

The kids are doing well. They love to dance, and they have some great moves... especially Addie. Will is our singer. He has a smashing rendition of "Row, row, row your boat" that uses only two words, row and merrily. Oh, and Will has a new way of expressing his anger. He will roll from one side of the room to the other. It's a bit comical. Last but not least, Lila is such a sweetheart. She loves to cuddle and is the best at giving hugs and kisses. Oh, and she went to the petting zoo yesterday and did not scream at the animals. Such progress!

A fun night out

This past weekend, Derek and I attended a close friend's wedding. We certainly enjoyed a night out without a curfew!

Overall, the kids behaved for Grandma Linda and Grandpa Rick, although the girls are really beginning to fight...hitting, pushing, etc. Will is quite passive compared to the girls, but he will reach a point when he stands up to his sisters! So, we are utilizing "time out" more and more. Will and Lila are infuriated when put in time out. Addie, the little stinker, doesn't seem to mind. She spends her time flopping around in the pack n' play and giggling. Oh, is she going to be trouble!

Road Trip

Earlier this month, we drove to Wisconsin for a mini family vacation. Our fears of toddlers on a long road trip kept us close to home. But, it was far enough to leave our "everyday" behind. We were joined by my parents and sister, brother-in-law, and niece. It was unseasonably cool, so we did not get to play on the beach as anticipated. But, we had a blast just staying up late talking. At the end of the vacation, we tried to get a picture of the kids with cousin Audrey. This is the best that we could do!
