twins gathering

Ok so this post is quite late but, a little while back our Hospital, Charlotte Hungerford held a twins day, a little get-together for all the twins born at our Hospital. There was not a huge turn out considering all the twins born there in a year but, it was a nice little gathering. We had snacks and they gave each of the twins a little gift, for the little ones like ours it was sand bucket full of all kinds of goodies, including bubbles, sand toys, play dough and side walk chalk. I think if they continue it every year they will get more and more of a turnout each year. Oh and we got to see the wonderful nurses that helped us along during out delivery process and they got to see the children they helped welcome into the world!

Of course Ethan and Dylan would not cooperate for a nice photo no matter how many times we tried, this is the best we got of them LOL!!

And a group photos of all the attendees

Off to Myrtle Beach

From KY we headed to Myrtle Beach for a little R & R - it was awsome!!

Of course the first place we had to hit was the Aquarium - Caleb can never get enough of them!

Then to Margaritaville for lunch

some play time on the beach

Some fun in the hotel pools -

Two little men up to no good!!

We all enjoyed this walk on the beach - Ethan even fell asleep on Daddy's shoulders -

It was a perfect family trip well needed! We had a great time visiting with family that we do not get to see nearly often enough and then got in some family time just the 5 of us which also does not happen nearly often enough - 10 days later and about 30 hours total car travel time and we are home now to the mountains of laundry and yard work that needs to be caught up on - but, SOOOO worth it!!!!

Trip to KY

We loaded up the family van and took a trip to KY to visit Daddy's family. We had the chance to get to see Uncle Teddy, Uncle Jeremy and Amanda and Braden, Becky and Katlyn, of course Grandma and Grandpa. We had a great trip and it was over way too soon, although it always is no matter the length! We miss you terribly everyone!!!!

Daffodils

It is Spring in Connecticut, which means the daffodils are out, we took the boys to see the fields in Litchfield, Caleb had a ball running around and we got some good shots!

Ethan, my little helper

I like to refer to Ethan as my "little helper", he is always bringing me a little piece of something he found on the floor, whether it be a piece of cracker or a scrap of paper, for me to throw out. He also loves to get Dylan's blanket or binky for him or collect Caleb's trains when it is time to pick up toys. Lets just hope he is always so eager to keep things clean and neat!!

Caleb and turning three

So as you know Caleb recently turned three, I had been semi prepared for this "change" by experienced Mothers when they would tell me, three is so much harder than two, but, I thought how is that possible. Oh, it is!!!!! But, at the same time it is a GREAT age!! His brain is like a little sponge and he absorbs everything. The problem I am finding with this is he is FULL of questions, like all day and all night long. I would think he would would loose his voice at some point, but, no he just goes on and on and on. One of the great things about it is the words that come out of his mouth crack me up sometimes. The other day I was making a roast, lost track of time, forgot to set the timer and well, you know what that means (yes, burnt roast). So, Caleb asks me "what is that Mommy", "it is burnt roast Caleb" (in a upset voice, because that was dinner), he looks up at me and says "oh Mommy, that is so yummy, that is my favvvooorite", he just knows how to brighten my day!! Needless to say I was able to "save" the roast and when we ate it he did love it!

We are so ready for Spring!!

So today was such a nice day, we not only ate lunch outside but,

Chris, Robyn, Lex and Ash came over and Daddy put water on the bounce house slide, WOW!!!!
