Well we sure had a busy busy weekend!
Saturday we went to a friends house, Jen and Andy. Coincidently, they had their baby girl Emily 2 days before we had our baby girls. They also have a little boy CJ, who is 3 1/2. They live a good 30 minutes north of here, so we loaded up (I brought a bunch of baby stuff because we are usually there for a good 4-5 hours so I needed to be prepared!) and headed out. I think Ave had the best time out of all of us, she just turned 4 so her and CJ had a blast together. She asked me today if we could go to CJ's house again soon. The babies did really well, they got to play on the playmat with little Emily and shared her swing. They have a crazy awesome swing that goes side to side with a mobile and sounds. Both my girls loved it and fell right to sleep in it! We ended up staying for about 5 hours, 4pm - 9pm. It was a long night for all of us!
Then Sunday Chris took the big girls to church and the babies and I stayed home because I was hosting a baby shower at CITD later that day and I thought church AND the baby shower would be a bit much considering the day we had before. My friend Emily (and Mike) is who the shower was for, she is exactly 20 weeks behind me due at the end of June with her first baby (a girl Madelyn). The shower was great, they got some awesome gifts and my decorations were really cute (if I do say so myself). It was the first baby shower I had ever given and it was a lot of fun.
Now, the subject line. As the host I was kind of running around and helping move the gifts out of the way after they had opened them up, making sure we had enough food, etc etc. The babies were being passed around, as usual, and Olivia had fallen asleep so I laid her down in the stroller. Well she had woken up but was quite content playing. I was keeping my eye on her but I was across the room looking over everyone, and what did I see??
She FOUND HER TOES!! Yes. I looked over and she had grabbed her toes and was just staring at them! It was so cute. So I immediately ran over and she had let go by then, and actually hasn't played with them since but still. It was her first time grabbing them on her own! So cute so cute!! She's so adorable.
Then yesterday our whole family went to the park. We actually just found this park recently, it's very close to our house. We had a little picnic while the babies slept. Then Ave and Rosa played a little bit. We took some pictures after the babies woke up and then we headed home. There was a picnic table under the shade and it felt quite nice. There was a bit of a breeze which helped also. That is one thing about summer here in AZ, if you can find some shade even if it's like 107 degrees out, it doesn't feel too bad. We ended the day with some volleyball at CITD.
Tomorrow is Rosa's last day of school, she has a kindergarten graduation in the morning :-) Next week is Vacation Bible School at CITD and the week after that I'll be in FLORIDA!! Well, Ave wants me to put a movie in so I'm out!
