Key to Paradise

Our key to paradise this last week was a vacation!!! We really needed to just relax and veg and we are sad the trip was over so soon. But it was definitely what we needed.

Savannah, Georgia:
A fun, touristy town with lots of shops- we, of course, were patrons of the candy shop

Savannah has cool, weeping trees that Brayden and I admired

Hilton Head Island, SC is where we spent most of our time: 80 degree water, beautiful sand, the prettiest beach town we have ever seen

Thing 1 and Thing 2 approved of our vacation

We even had time to practice talents like blowing bubbles out of our noses

It was great to play with the kids and see an accounting professor unwind.
When we got home Becca asked when we could plan our next vacation...NOW is what I say

Jace is Jiven' Now He's Fiven!

Happy Birthday Jace (June 28th)

Of course we went swimming because Jace is part fish part boy

Ring pops all around

Jace finished his swim team season and did great! He got beast of the week after his first meet because even though he was scared to death, his goggles had filled with water, and he was frantically searching for anyone to save him in the water, he finished his race! He was happy to get his trophy that all the swimmers get but he got a special medal, the "Driver" award that only one boy in his age group gets. He got it because he worked very hard and improved a lot in six weeks. Proud of you fish boy!

Little Fatties

Although not the most flattering of terms, "Little Fatties" perfectly describes our twinsies!

The results of today's weigh in at 4 months old:
Connor: 18 lbs 5 oz
Brayden: 16 lbs 12 oz

They are now in 6-9 month old clothes!

Brayden kept collapsing into Connor's mass

Fat and Sassy!

Nothing like a strong shoulder to lean on

Is that a little twinkle of mischief in Brayden's eye already?
