Alex walking

We had fun and beat the heat with one of our cool water toys.  The heat index was 102 today!  I finally got a small clip of Alex walking.  He walks about 50% of the time and crawls the other 50. Enjoy the short clip.

Dinner with Friends

Last night we had our good friends the Mullers over for dinner.  We enjoyed their company as always, and welcomed for the first time into our home baby Charlie!  Charlie was a perfect angel the whole night.  Caroline and Ava had a blast as usual.  I should have recorded them from the bedroom, all you hear is screaming and giggling the entire time they play together.  They love to race up and down the hall, dressup, play babies, play castle and all the time they are playing they are doing that screaming laugh/giggle thing!!  I guess it's a little girl thing.  Again we had a great night and are thankful for our great friends!

Science Museum and Waterfront Park

We took a little trip to the Science museum yesterday, and then ventured over to Waterfront park.  I must say I did not know how many great playsets there were down there as well as splash parks.  They are all very nice!  We had a great family fun day.  We are going to Lakeside in the early evening so maybe I will add some of those pictures later, for now here are some from yesterday.

A Baby and a Wedding

On our way up to our friend's wedding in Cincinnati on Friday my friend Jennifer called to tell us she had her sweet little baby boy Charles Alan weighing in at 8lbs, 5 ounces.  He is so precious and sweet.  I was able to visit him today for a little bit and chat with Jennifer who is doing very well! 

 

 

 

The wedding was beautiful, Bert and I had a great time!  We missed our kids TERRIBLY, and decided that we will take another trip up to Cincinnati with the kids to see a reds game, stay in the same hotel, and possibly the aquarium.  Bert and I could not help talking about them constantly and commenting to one another how much Ava and Alex would have loved certain things on our trip.  This was such a great weekend, we saw so much love!  Our friends welcoming a new baby into the world, two beautiful happy people getting married, and we are celebrating Bert's dad's 77th b-day tonight.  What more could you ask for!

Ava's first sleepover

 

 

My friend Jennifer is overdue and ready to have her baby!  Bert and I were fortunate enough to watch her sweet little girl Caroline overnight when Jennifer thought she might be in labor, this means Ava had her first sleepover at age 2!  Everyone did great!  We had a yummy dinner at Jason's Deli, came home to play, got baths, and I put them in my bed to watch a movie.  After taking some pictures of my little darlings I realized they were both about to conk out, so I left the room and sure enough when I came back to check on them they were sound asleep. Bert and I moved them into Ava's room and they both slept in her twin bed all night long!  Such sweet little girls.  Alex enjoyed Caroline's company as well.  Tomorrow morning Bert and I are dropping the kids off at Mimi and Grandaddy's house for the weekend.  Bert and I are going to Cincinnati for Jimmy and Kaite's wedding.  I am going to miss my little babies, but in all honesty I am also looking forward to a relaxing weekend with my husband too!  Here are some pictures of the sleepover and some pictures that my brother's girlfriend Annie took at the park.
