Aunt Allison Visits

Aunt Allison came for a visit and the weather was beautiful.  We had a lot of fun adventures with her including: going to the Virginia Zoo, dirty fun playtime at the park, jumping at Cloud 9, going to the beach, and a food truck festival!

Aquarium with Adrianna

We took our friend Adrianna to the Virginia Aquarium today.  The girls had a lot of fun looking at all the different exhibits.  Afterwards we all enjoyed lunch out and the girls got to play some more.  It was a fun morning with two adorable two-year olds.

Brooke’s Two Year and Laura’s Pregnancy Pictures

Our beautiful Brooke turned two and we thought it would be a nice time to get some family pictures and have Laura’s pregnancy photos done at the same time.

Happy Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day morning at the park having a blast running around, then went out to a nice lunch.  When we got home Brooke wanted to ride the skateboard, so we had some fun coasting up and down the street.  Thanks to all those who have served that make this possible.

Brooke Giving Baby A Bath

This evening we came upstairs to play before bedtime and Brooke put baby in the infant bouncer and started reading her “The Grouchy Ladybug”.  Then while I was cleaning up the playroom after telling Brooke it was time for a bath she arrived back at the playroom door with baby, her bath soap, and her towel.  Saying “baby bath”.  I figured that baby needed a bath anyway (I run her in with Brooke’s clothes periodically) and that as long as Brooke understood that baby would have to dry overnight and she would have to pick another animal to sleep with tonight we could give baby a bath.  After a “yea” in response (we are excited to be getting verbal affirmations instead of the usual head nods) I started the bath.  After getting Brooke in the tub I handed her baby and then her wet washcloth.  Brooke cleaned baby all over, head, tummy, feet and then played with her.  I barely got Brooke dry before she insisted that of course baby had to be dried off as well.
