What are we up to?

We had a nice visit from Mark and Abbey this past weekend and it was really fun. 
Friday night we let Aunt Shelly babysit and she allowed this to happen.

But it went better than the last time I tried it last year (and everyone got hurt). A good time was had by all.

The girls all went to gymnastics on Saturday which was super cute. Adam went to the doctor for a double ear infection which was not as cute.

 

We went swimming and Abbey and Layla both learned to jump in the pool. A little peer pressure and competition and it was go time for these girls.

  

 Look - Adam can do it.

 You giant babies.

 Hannah can do it.

 There she goes.

 And again and again and again.

 Next year we loose the wingies kids.

 Layla was previously scared of putting her face in the water, so this was huge.

It was such a lovely time and I am really looking forward to Mark and Beth Parson moving to St. Louis in the coming years. I know it's going to happen, just a matter of when.

Adam visited his pre-school room today for the first time. He is going to be just fine when he starts in 3 weeks. He loved the toys and was itching to go play outside. Layla is ready to head back to school too. She visited her class and talked their ears off for 30 minutes.

The girls are scheduled to go with Grandma and Papa to Branson next week which they have been looking forward to all summer. Matt will be in MN all week, Adam and I will be hanging out doing something fun every day.
