Ketchup

A really busy week, coupled with our laptop dying on us, makes for no blogging. We're down to the ol' desktop in the spare room...the non-baby proofed room, which means it can only be accessed during naps and after bedtime. Which is when I tend to be the least thoughtful (also known as most fried=) )

I'll admit, it was a teensy bit liberating not to have easy access to the Internet all week. It can be addicting, and it's an area I am constantly needing to discipline myself in (which is why I am not on facebook, from what I hear, that's WAY too addicting). But, I missed it enough that I had to drag myself into the spare room tonight and catch up a bit.

We took the babies to an aquatic center this week for their first official time in a big pool, which they thought was pretty cool...



We played PLENTY of our favorite new game, which is see-what-can-fit-through-the-cat-door...


Turns out? Lots of things can! David and I have had to train ourselves to be very careful when we go through that door to the utility room, since there is almost always a plethora of toys on the other side.


We've also practiced our Downward Dog:



And ridden our toys up and down the hallway...



And pet our kitty Lucy (upper right corner)...


My sister Emily was in town for a brief visit this weekend, and the kids soaked up some good Auntie Em time...


This morning I needed to take Em to meet her ride right during the middle of Church, so my plan was to just keep the kids home so we could take her. But then David offered to take one with him and just wear the sling while he ran the sound during the service. He ended up taking Luke with him, and it was SO WEIRD to be at home without my baby boy! I know I leave for 5 hours stints 3 afternoons a week to work, but to be home with one baby and not the other was strange! But, one-on-one time with the twins is something we want to be purposeful about as they grow up, so I suppose no time like the present to get started.

And as much as I missed my sweet boy this morning, it was good to have time with just my baby girl...

...who is growing up SO fast by the way...

Good for both of you to have some one-on-one time with each Kiddo. I'm sure they appreciate it as much as you.

And, they are growing up fast.

LOVE,
GRAND DAD
