Aunts, Cousins, Grandma, and Uncles

NOTE*** will ad photos later something wrong with website.

This past weekend we had to opportunity to see family. Will and Annmarie had a great time playing with their relatives. Jeffrey was surprisingly nice to Vern, baby Vern that is. He did not even try to use him as leverage to stand up. It was fun to see the kids interact with their cousins. We do not see them very often. Drew has become a favorite babysitter, too bad he lives so far away. the older 2 just chased him around and always wanted to play with him. It was so nice to see them playing with everyone.

There is not much else to report. lets see. oh the Will and Annmarie are taking swimming lessons, and loving it. The best thing about the lessons, there is no one else in their class!!!! they get all the attention from the teacher. Which is good since Annmarie still thinks she can jump into the water whenever she wants and needs no help. Not quite true, she still needs help. Hopefully someday she may have some fear of the water, but that is not today. another bonus to swimming lessons is the that it really tires the kids out and they take great naps on lesson days. As Kim (my sister) would say this is a tender mercy.

We are doing great, and were happy to have a little extra family time this weekend.

I almost forgot. Will and his friend Matthew always do something . . . crazy, but it is funny in the aftermath, so I think I will start adding our "adventures" at the end of each post.

Both Will and Matthew are potty trained or in the process. Yesterday the kids were playing under the tramp. We went to check on them. Both boys had their underpants off. Matthew was saying cucky (Their family's term for gross, which my kids now say all the time) and Will said he went brown potty (his words for poopy). needless to say we cleaned the kids up, and went on a search to prevent other mishaps. It may not seem so funny, but it really was. Considering that Will thinks that if he is outside he can just go to the bathroom on the grass. Don't believe me? just as Kim or Kindy. On many other occasions we have found Will, Matthew, and Annmarie "feeding" one of Bette's birds. Yeah that bird looked real hungry in a cage that was no longer straight up, or had the water or food where it belonged. On a really cute note. Will and Matthew we laying on the couch sharing Matthews blanket the other day.
I love my kids and love the adventures that they bring into my life.
