Our week was filled with fun and friends, including a play date at our new neighbors' house (a family with twins just a few months older than Alex & Ari). Today Nana and Poppy Jack came over to play with the kids before lunch time. They certainly enjoyed the attention and extra hugs (Alex and Ari, that is).
After their afternoon nap, Alex and Ari visited their friends (big) Alex, Vivi, and Zach while Mommy and Daddy caught up with their parents Mark and Melissa in their "new" house (an older house the family has been renovating for over a year now...but good things come to those who wait, as the house is beautiful). One of the benefits of having older friends is hand-me-downs, and today their friends passed along a tunnel to Ari and Alex. The tunnel has now become one of their favorite toys- Alex spent the evening going back and forth through the tunnel, and Ari has new motivation to learn to crawl so that she can play in her new toy. She tried so, so hard and is now THIS CLOSE to crawling as she dragged herself through the tunnel. Nothing like a little motivation and competition (although Mommy is a little apprehensive at the thought of both babies crawling around the house). Can you tell how much they're enjoying their new toy? Thanks, Alex, Vivi, Zach, et al!
Hey, what are you doing here?
By gosh, I will get through here if I have to drag myself!
Get outta my way...coming through!
Tomorrow it's off to Baltimore to visit Great Aunt Bess and Cousin Jake. Winter has finally reared it's head, as the forecast for tomorrow is calling for measurable snow (quite a difference from our 70-degree days just a week ago) but we're not going to let a little snow stop us. Maybe Alex and Ari will actually get to use their snow sled (another hand-me-down from big Alex, Vivi, and Zach) this winter, after all!
