We have been home now for almost a week from our first family vacation with our 2 kiddos. They were amazing troopers in the van and we only had to stop about every three hours. I was a bit worried when the day before we left for Minnesota Annabelle could barely make it to Nana and Poppa’s house ( a 30 minute ride) without asking to get “unstuck” from her seat because it was taking to long. I thought…oh sister…you don’t know what it coming to you tomorrow!

We had a great time hanging out with Gigi and Papa for the week. We played, shopped, ate, baked and slept a little! Joe and I also got to go out on a date which was very refreshing. It was great to get to see Joe’s great grandma who is 98. She was thrilled to meet Jayce.

Jayce is still adjusting to life it seems. We are hoping that within another month his colickiness and belly issues will be outgrown. Poor little guy. At 3 months he is 16.9 lbs…and he is a crazy sleeper! The poor boy does gymnastics in his sleep all night…no wonder he wakes up so much at night. He is still very visually stimulated and loves to stand and bounce. He is just so snuggly!!

Annabelle is now able to open doors all by herself as her latest accomplishment. She now comes bouncing out of her room in the morning and after nap and announces “I’m awake!!” Sometimes she comes out and asks “Am I awake?” She has a new taller stool so she can wash her hands and brush her teeth without any help and we have caught her many times standing there just looking at her self in the mirror smiling at her self and making faces.

Enjoy the pics!

Annabelle was hooked on peeling and sucking the jice out of the Mandarin oranges. Her poor little finger nails were bright orange!

Yeah Poppa! Annabelle liked Poppa's dress! She cheered real loud as Poppa got his MBA this past week.
