These Days

We are really enjoying the sunshine we have gotten the last few days. On Thursday we went to the park in the morning, after naptime, and then, while I was fixing dinner, Abby convinced Roy to go on a walk around our house. And then, because those many hours outside weren't enough, we spent the hour after dinner out on the front porch with Roy playing guitar, Sam in the baby swing, and Abby playing with her water table and dictating the next song that Roy was to play. It was so much fun!

Sam really does not enjoy his tummy time these days, but we're not so surprised because Abby really didn't love it at all. Since Abby can't handle the extreme screaming that takes place (and yes, Sam has quite the set of lungs), she has resorted to spending tummy time with him. It's really sweet. And when Sam gets really upset, no matter where he is, Abby goes running over to sing to him. Abby is a wonderful big sister. And, as my Mor Mor says, it's a mutual admiration society--Sam loves her right back.

Abby was thrilled last week that "both kids have blue striped doggy jammies" so the kids wore them the same night and we had to take a picture. And since Sam was attached to the pacifier at that particular moment, Abby shoved one of hers in her mouth too.

For all those moments of insanity, feeling overwhelmed, and being outnumbered, our kids make us incredibly happy and bring more laughter than I could expect from any two people.
