It's been a while

I guess its been a while since I have posted on here. Well honestly there isn't a whole lot new happening. The kids are growing. They are ready to go back to school and honestly I am ready for them to go. They get so bored especially Albert. Andrew laughed for the first time the other day. It was just a little giggle but he did it. He has changed so much in the last little while.

Andrew in his walker. It makes him look so little.

These next few pictures I took because Arlene asked for pictures she could get printed out of the kids. So here is my best shot at being photographically creative. This first one is I think I really good one of all the kids. You can definitly tell they are siblings. They look so much alike.

The next ones are individuals of the kids. Sarah and her bunny Love. She's so pretty.

Quit a handsome little fellow isn't he?

I actually got him to smile. It's just to bad you can see up his nose.

This is the very first smile of Andrew caught on camera. The pictures came up backwards. Opps.

Can you find the kid?

Our day out

Today I decided the kids and I needed to get out the house and do something fun. So I packed up the kids and we headed to the boardwalk. FYI our boardwalk doesn't have a beach. I know crazy right. Anyway we went out to eat at Joe's first. They have a nice little area for the kids to play while waiting to eat. I decided to do this while it was only 90 out. It got up to 104 today.

Albert made an A with his french fries.

I don't know what he was doing but it was funny.

Isn't she just so cute and look at those teeth. The teeth the dentist said wouldn't come in unless they pulled out her eye teeth first. I am just hoping now they will start to straighten out.

My two cute kiddos playing while we were waiting for our food.

Everyone say CHEESE!

That's the Red River. The kids are all hot and sweaty they just got done playing.

Well as you can see we got Sarah sunglasses. They picked some out for me too. All I am going to say is I will wear just because they picked them out. They were having a sale at Claire's and Sarah had forgotten hers. The ones she has on in the upper picture are mine from before. The new sunglasses for me are huge. Anyway Sarah made a bunny named Love. Albert made a tiger and named him Etsky. Yep I typed that right. You say it like you'd say jet ski but without the j. Don't ask I don't know.

The kids on the carosel. If you look to the right of the picture you can see Albert in the mirror. I know it's a terrible picture but I could not get any better sorry.

Then after the boardwalk I figured I would let them play in the water since they were all hot and sweaty. Isn't Albert's hat oh so fashionable.

This was so funny. This is Albert hiding the sprinkler behind his back obviously but I really think Sarah didn't know it was there.



Of course being the most wonderful big sister she is she played along. It was really actually very funny. Those kids really are so very precious.

Then Sarah had to try on the hat too. All she needs is a torch and she could be the statue of liberty.

So as you saw from the pictures we had a pretty fun day. We needed to get out. The kids were starting to fight something terrible. Then I needed to get out of the house also. Honestly I was just tired of not going anywhere and doing anything. I usually don't go many places with out Albert. Not because I can't but because I am honestly scared to. I hate going places by myself. Mostly because of the driving. Albert does 100% of the driving when we go somewhere together and with only having one vehicle we usually always go places together. He doens't trust me I don't think. Anyway after many years of not driving much I have developed a fear of driving. So there you have one of my dark little secrets. So shhh... don't tell anyone.

andrew 2 monthes

Today Andrew is two monthes old. It doesn't seem like it's been that long already but it has. He sure is growing. He is 11 pounds and 8 ounces today. He is 23 1/2 inches long. Albert has been gone for about 3 weeks and andrew has grown an inch and half and gained a pound and half. These are just estimates because the measurments were done here at home three weeks ago by me.

Andrew now smiles some. When I go to pick him up sometimes he gives me this great big smile. It's so cute and I just wish I could capture it one camera but I havne't yet. I will some time or other. He is doing better with his head control. He can pretty much hold up his own head when I hold him. He sometimes loses control but does good if there are no sudden movements. Albert goes running to him everytime he cries in the least. It is pretty cute. Albert loves to help with Andrew. Sarah likes to help too but not as much. They sometimes fight over who gets to take care of him and help me. All is going well with all the kids though. I haven't had any jealousy or anything like that. I figured I would with Albert but not in the least. Thank God for that.
