More of the Same...

I'm still on summer vacation (not for long)...so more playing, play dates and family time!

There's nothing cuter than sleeping children, especially these two!  Finley looks like a little man all stretched out...


...and Hadley is a snuggler!  She received a taggy blanket made by Maureen (Elle's Grandma) - I think she likes it :)

Finley asks to go to Owen Park every day - this week we met up with Leslie, Caden & Cooper, Stephanie, Mya & Duncan.


Mya & Duncan made my job easy! 


Finley finally went down the biggest slide - a bunch of times!

Hadley tried two big-girl things this week - she took a bath without the sling...

...and tried the bumbo!  She lasted 3-4 minutes before becoming a bobblehead.

Nolan and Hadley are exactly 6 and 12 weeks old; the picture doesn't show it, but Hadley is quite a bit bigger than Nolan.


Mommy's sweet girl...


 ...wearing a cute dress (thanks Auntie) and cute shoes (thanks Grandma)!


Hadley's skinny feet have filled out, bring on the girly-fun!

Melissa & Elle invited us to Irvine Park - Finley had fun feeding the ducks and visiting the bunnies.



Finley wanted to push Elle in the swing, unfortunately he walked up on her back-swing and got knocked to the ground.  I had no idea I caught the moment! 


Now, he's got it :)


Prince Charming helped Cinderella put her shoe on...until he gave up and told her mom to do it.  We don't want Melissa to go back to work!


Patrick insisted I take a picture of the three snugglers, the kids look thrilled. 

I love this vintage trike, so does Finley!


Scary!  Luckily it was not hooked up to the hose, he was teasing me!


Today we visited a very special house - one of the homes my dad grew up in.  My Grandpa built it in the late 50's; at the time it was a very modern and unique home.  My dad remembers a line of cars driving past to see this "strange" house.  The kitchen was recently remodeled and the home is part of the Remodeler's Showcase, it's also in the process of becoming a historical home.  With our connection, the homeowner allowed us to see the entire house.  It was exciting to hear stories about my grandparents, aunts/uncles and features of the home.  The current homeowners are perfect - they appreciate the uniqueness, the craftsmanship, the history and enjoyed the stories too.
