Derek visits

Derek, Norah's brother, visited today. He hadn't seen our new place yet. I think he liked it...he's a tad competitive and I think what he really liked is that ours is smaller than his and Amy's. Oh well, I like ours better.

Swim, Swam, Swum - we sure had fun!

Such an amazing day!

Even though they can't swim, at all, we took Addison, Cameron and Madison swimming today. It was a great way to beat the heat! They love going swimming so much. We let them play on the big stairs. Addison loves it more than the other two. They will get in a bit, to humor us, then get out and play with shovels and pails on the side of the pool. As long as each of them cools off we don't make anyone swim. One day they will all be interested, it doesn't have to happen right now.

two-year-old-day

Today was another two-year-old-day. There aren't very many left and each one is special. They love playing together and I love spending time with Norah. When I start with Jackson and Tabitha she'll be finished nannying. It is very exciting and a little sad at the same time. We make a great team Norah and I, we've nannied together for nearly a decade (hard to believe I'm old enough to say that!).

Tomatoes Nestle

Jackson and Tabitha have spent so much time apart since they were born. I love putting them together.

Right now they sleep, a lot, so getting them together generally ends up in a nap. But they both really seem to calm, relax and enjoy the other's company. They are such sweet little tomatoes!

Party in the Nursery!!

What a busy day!
Today we had seven people in Jackson and Tabitha's nursery! Roger and Sara, Norah, me and the lactation consultant. It was definitely a full house! And what a gift! The lactation consultant came as a gift from friends, very thoughtful indeed.
