We've kept pretty busy. The kids and I just got home from a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo with our friends Amber, Brendan (3), and Emery (4 mos.). Both are sleeping right now! Actually, I take that back - I don't think Audrey's sleeping, but she's upstairs in her room and is supposed to be taking a nap! I can hear her on the monitor. Conner's sacked out on the couch - I usually just leave him in the car when he falls asleep in there, but I took pity on him today and brought him in. These are some pictures from our last trip to the zoo with Amber, Brendan, and Emery (on the 30th of June).
The weather's been crazy this summer! Today's high was supposed to be in the 70s... I'm not sure it reached the 70s yesterday and rained all day. I'm afraid that this cool weather means the hot weather is waiting until we go back to school.
We've had some big moments in the past few weeks...
1. Conner is officially training wheel-less on his bike! He'd made some comments about wanting them off, so a couple of weeks ago (it was the 7th, I think) I took them off and away he went! He had no problems at all! It was crazy.
2. Audrey is officially pull-up-less! She's been wearing panties during the day with only one problem (and that was at a restaurant in Myrtle Beach, which was lovely). She's still doing diapers during naptime and bedtime, but often wakes up dry.
We went on our big vacation to Myrtle Beach last week and had a great time. I think Aud's going to grow up and be a beach bum - she absolutely loved the sand and the ocean! Conner seemed to prefer the pool, but that was because they had a lazy river that he could play in (and pester everyone around him). We didn't do too much activity-wise. Our mornings and afternoons were spent at the ocean/pool (with a break for lunch - then we left the little ones inside to nap). We went out to dinner several times all together (with Doug, Marge, Andy, Erica, Levi, and Ezra), but there was one night that Eric and I went by ourselves to dinner and a movie, too. The four of us also spent one evening putt-putting... I won't tell you who won (cough, cough).
I have lots and lots of pictures of our trip - I posted them to my shutterfly site (click here) if you'd like to check them out!
