Fun Filled Weekend

This past weekend we took Chandler and Bailey to Atlanta to visit and meet Jaden and Jacob. It turned out way better than I expected. Chandler and Jaden clicked right away and played together all weekend. Bailey and Jacob clicked and kept each other busy all weekend.

Saturday, we got up and Uncle Danny made bacon, pancakes and eggs for breakfast...yummy! We then got the boys dressed and decided to drive to Hiram to take them to Sparkles Skating Rink. The skating rink had not only skating but laser tag and an inside playground, so the boys had plenty to do. Of course, the first thing they wanted to do was laser tag. So, Uncle Danny, Kevin, and I played laser tag with them....it was so much fun...we actually played two games. James decided he would stay out of laser tag and watch little Addie.
Here are a few pictures of the day:

Sunday, we decided to go to IKEA for breakfast. After getting everyone dressed and ready, we arrived right before the breakfast line closed. After eating, Uncle Danny took all the boys down to the kid area to play while we shopped...it was wonderful not having to deal with kids while walking through the store. By the time we got back to the house, it was 2:00pm. Instead of eating lunch, we decided to let the kids make some popcorn to snack on and then we would have an early dinner. So for dinner, Kevin cooked some delicious ribs, shrimp-steak kabobs, and garlic-parmesan rolls. Uncle Danny made a side salad. Dinner was delicious!! After dinner, we sent the boys back downstairs to play. All four of us adults watched a movie and then went to bed.

Early Monday morning, we packed up and headed for the house...so Monday we did not do much of anything, except unpack the car.

Overall, we all had a wonderful time with Uncle Danny and James. The boys can't wait to go see Jaden and Jacob agian. Thanks guys for a wonderful weekend.

6 weeks old

Today Addie turns 6 weeks old. She is growing so fast. She can now hold her head up for longer periods of time and is starting to smile. She loves laying on the bed in the morning and talking to us while we get dressed.
We are working on getting her on a schedule (now that we don't have football to disrupt it). She loves taking a jacuzzi bath with mommy before bed and is actually sleeping pretty well at night (knock on wood).
Here are some snapshots of the last few weeks.

One Month Old

Halloween


This past Friday, we packed the car up and headed for Atlanta for the weekend. Since Saturday was Halloween, Uncle Danny and James had a party for the boys and their school friends. So, we helped them with the final touches. The boys seemed to have a blast at the party and everyone was very impressed with the decorations.

On Sunday, we went out to lunch with James and the boys before packing the car and heading back home.
Needless to say, we had a great time and Addisyn enjoyed her first over night trip away from home.
