Safety Measure


Now that Addison can roll with wild abandon - she requires some additional creative thinking! We usually change diapers and outfits assembly line style on our extra large changing table (large dog kennel with crib mattress on top). Addison has now rolled herself off the changing table twice while her sister is getting the attention. The new rule is - one child laying flat and one child sitting in a Bumbo chair so that there will be no unsupervised rolling from high surfaces! As you can see from the picture, they are quite content with this new arrangement as it enables them to drool on all kinds of new parts of their outfits.

We had a great weekend! On Friday we did our normal movie night after the girls were in bed and watched Dear Frankie. Saturday morning and afternoon we got ready for our small group BBQ. Everyone arrived around 4 and we went swimming for a few hours. The pool was pretty cold because of the rain on Friday and Saturday - it would figure after being scorching hot - it would cool down just in time for our pool party! After swimming everyone came back to our house and we grilled out. The girls went to bed at 7 pm without a fuss - which was wonderful - because then Alex and I got to just hang out, chat, and enjoy our guests! Sunday we took it easy and after church spent the rest of the day at home. We watched another movie, On A Clear Day. It was pretty funny - we would both recommend it!

My goodness those girls are cute! Smiles like that probably make you forget the times they cried forever or had a diaper explosion, right?

Can't wait to see them soon!
