Moving

Not us.
Tara and Abby moved into a new apartment last week

Shawn had a bunch of furniture he was getting rid of, so he brought it up from California for them to put in their new place.

We went over to get in the way and watch people work

My chubby girl

Aidan having a blast with the tool set

We're all a *little* jealous of Tara's closet.

Taking a break

While Shawn tries to set up the tv

Aidan got a hold of Shawns iphone and was loving it

Still going.....

Friday

She's starting to rub all her hair off. :( She's starting to sport a pretty impressive mohawk.
Aidan is now warming up to her and runs to her when she cries and he wanted to hold her.

Zoo

We met up with Sydnie, Melanie, and kids for a couple of hours at the zoo this morning and par for the course lately, I didn't get very many photos.
Ethan, Henry, and Aidan looking at some animal I don't know the name of, in the Madagascar exhibit.

Looking at the monkeys

Checking out the camels

They have this huge iron elephant thing and it makes "elephant noises", but really it just sounds kind of creepy and scares the children.

exhibit A. - Aidan is staring at the trunk wondering what the heck is wrong with it

Ethan got brave and walked over to it. Aidan still wanted nothing to do with it.

Here is Katy, the pregnant elephant lady. She's 20 months pregnant. Egads.

Kids

Sleeping peacefully
Just the way we like it. :)

We're making some progress...

All is well....

So when we got home on Monday there was a letter from the hospital saying that Ella failed the hearing test they gave her and so they wanted us to go back and get it redone. We went to her second hearing test today and she passed (after Aidan left the room). :) I was worried at first after reading the letter but then after paying attention you can kind of tell whether or not they are hearing noise, but anyway, now we know for sure.

Things are going pretty smoothly, as smoothly as things can go when there is a newborn in the mix. Heh. There is still alot of "clock watching" until Cary gets home.

My jelly belly is a whole 'nother matter...

Swim Playdate

Yesterday was Cary's first day back to work since Ella was born, and to be honest I was dreading it. Thankfully we had a swim playdate planned at Andre and Heathers house and that helped take my mind off the fact that I was by myself with two kids. :)

The boys were loving the sandbox

Pretty soon the pool became a car/big equipment wash

It was a fun few hours of chillin and visiting

Aidan preferred sand to the water that day

We got a group shot right before we left although Sam isn't in the picture.

That's a lot of boys! Ella is totally outnumbered. :)
