Eric and Michelle Brown came to visit us this weekend. It actually wasn't just to see us. Eric ran the 1/2 marathon in Miami. We're all very proud of him, he trained for months and I believe he met the time he wanted, or close.
Isaac had to learn about doing your best and not just coming in first. "Eric's going to win the race huh mommy!" I tried to explain things to him but it didn't quit sink in until we got to the finish line and he saw all the runners in front of Eric. "Eric didn't win mommy but he still got a trophy!" He was really excited and it was a great trip to Miami and a nice weekend thanks to Michelle and Eric.

Sydney was a joy all morning. NOT! She has her days and this was one of them. Too tired to eat anything (or teeth hurt) but not wanting to be held. She didn't like the instability of the monorail all that much so she fussed the whole time. I'm embarrassed to say that yes we still have to carry a pacifier with us for emergencies such as these. Josh wants her off by her birthday... RIGHT! She actually did ok as long as there was someone to tell her how cute she was and she could play up too. At this moment the monorail was pretty empty.
Isaac of course was THRILLED with the monorail and enjoyed every minute. He listened extremely well the entire morning and didn't run off once. A far cry to a few years ago. What am I saying ... a few months ago =)!!! Turns out that the monorail is free on the weekends so if its a bit chilly the homeless just go round and around in it. Good times.
This is Isaac on the way out. Getting a little tired and he did have a small melt down shortly after. But the morning was truly a success for Isaac. I was so proud!

So yes the rumor is true. Laura went out and bought a bouncy house. Josh was in Chicago and the kids were going crazy. I was cramping pretty bad and couldn't imagine the idea of going to the park. I was also imagining the upcoming summer stuck inside because of the heat. Yes, Katie we still have about 3 months were its pretty unbearable to go outside, sometimes too hot for even the pool. So in an irrational moment we went to toys r us and got a bouncy house. We (me) had actually wanted on for Christmas but continued to talk ourselves out of it. Of course by now I couldn't find the smaller one we had once wanted to purchase. So here it is.

The slide is Sydney's favorite part.

Okay, so here I am at 22 weeks. Straight out in front. I can't explain how uncomfortable I am. That's usual with pregnancy but I'm not use to it this early.
I think I might be more like a basketball then I was with the other two.

And why the turtleneck, in Florida? I was actually going out at night and it was a little chilly. I took the opportunity because this is one of my favorite maternity pieces I have.

Sorry for the bad posture.

For those of you who might be coming to visit us anytime soon... this is our new air mattress. So you will be able to sleep in comfort instead of on a deflating camp mattress. Also with 600 thread count sheet. Ya! Even I'm jealous.

I know Calley said that old pics & videos don't count as updating your blog but i think she'll appreciate this one. I love this little girl and hate the fact that we're so far away. But she still cracks me up even all the way from Washington.

I love the way you think her hair is sticking up because of the jump up until she stops and its still sticking straight up. I've also so noticed in some other blogs, that you in Wymount have embraced the "jerry rigging" of Johnny Jump Ups! Good for you!!

So true to my life! Thank you Nanny for sending it!

The only difference here is that Isaac is the oldest and Sydney the youngest!
