Mother's Day Weekend

This weekend we had a lot of time just hanging out together, which was very nice. We started the weekend with a quiet night at home. It's been beautiful weather, so we went for a quick walk and then sat on the front porch in the rocking chairs before bed time. On Saturday, we worked around the house all weekend trying to continue to baby proof. We realize that mobility will be here before we know it, so we're trying to take care of things a little each day, so we are not blind-sided once that day arrives. I know, we'll never fully be prepared, but it's worth a shot to at least try, right? Riley and Ryan are now both fully sitting up on their own - didn't fall over at all this weekend. With that milestone, as well as Ryan just about at the weight and height limit for the infant car seats, we figured it was time to move them to their big boy/girl seats. You would have laughed watching Kevin and I figure out how to get them installed correctly. We had to take a few deep breaths, but we figured it out...and once you know, it's not all that difficult. They love their new seats and enjoy the extra room as well as the ability to now see out the windows. Ryan just gazes out the window all the time. Their first trip in these seats was to the high school girls lacrosse state championship game. The twin girls we used to "babysit" were playing as sophomores for Milton and they won their 4th straight title. They just so happened to be playing Westminster - the team that my boss' daughter plays on, so we had to split our cheering when Allie and Anna were both playing. Riley loved the game and all the excitement. Ryan wasn't so sure about the loud cheering, but he eventually got used to it.

Today was a very nice Mother's Day. It started with church, then home for a quick nap (mom included!) and then off to brunch with Grandma. Riley and Ryan both sat in the restaurant high chairs for the first time. Ryan did great, but Riley wasn't so sure about it, so she ended up in her carrier, but a nice time was had by all. We had a nice afternoon just hanging out with Grandma back at our house. Grandaddy is in Moldova on a mission trip, so we missed him today.

We added a few photo albums:
