Vacation x 2

We have had a very busy 2 weeks. The kids and I went to St. Louis to my Grandma Fechter's 90th Birthday party. It was a lot of fun. We also got to met Yaneth, my brother's wife.

The next week, my parents came to babysit for the kids for 3 days!!! Ya hoo!!! Mike and I got to go to New York City. What a blast! We spent 3 days shopping, eating, going to shows, eating and well eating. Mike was very star struck getting to meet Eric Rupert (a "famous" chef). Neither of us could think of anything good to say to him, but "your restaurant is very tasty". Oh well, as I said star struck. We went to see Chicago and God of Carnage (a new show that won several Tony Awards). They were both amazing.

Meanwhile, back at the homestead, my parents enjoyed playing with the kids. Savannah reports that she didn't miss us. Thank you again Mom and Dad!! I hear they have a retirement gig, "The Grandma and Poopa babysitting service". They could make a fortune!! As a bonus, my dad took some cute pics of the kids.

Happy Birthday Megan and Elliott

Megan and Elliott are 1!!! Unfortunately, they were both sick on their birthday. Oh well, they did enjoy their cake as you can see. Thought I would update a few things they are doing now.

One of the funniest things they do now is go "exploring" together. It started a few weeks ago, we were in the basement and I heard Elliott crawling down the hall towards the bedroom. Soon, I hear Megan following. I follow them back and they both stop, look at me, both laugh, and start crawling faster!! It is very funny now, but I'm sure these two are going to be getting in lots of trouble together. Elliott loves to play with cars and trucks (ok he also loves the cute tea pot). It is funny that Megan could care less about these things. She still perfers playing with her tunnel and various shoes.

Savannah has been doing much better lately with sharing her toys with the twins. I think it helped that they got a few exciting toys for their birthday. Sharing seems a little more appealing when there are toys you want shared!! She is really enjoying school, making new friends and learning a lot.
