Full Weekend

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend and spend lots of time outside. On Saturday morning we went out for breakfast and to the park to play. After nap time, Alex took the girls back to the park to swim. Then, that evening we had the Stevensons over for dinner. Their two children and our two (minus Stella) had a great time playing outside. Tina introduced us to a new medium - sidewalk paint! It was a BIG HIT and gave the adults lots of uninterrupted talk time.


Addie loved the paint and only got upset when she realized that it stung when she painted her multiple scraps on her knees!


Mina calmly sat and painted and contemplated.


Drew painted a lion and was a great big brother to all the girls!


Claire was clearly enjoying herself as well!


Here's some sweet photos of Stella. She is filling out like crazy! Although we are still 3 weeks out from her next doctor's appointment, I'm so curious to see how much weight she has already gained!


Our first attempt at watercolors. The girls were so excited to each have their own paint trays and kept telling me which colors they were painting, "I'm painting blue, Mom, I'm painting red, Mom"...and on it went since toddlers like to repeat and repeat and repeat!


The girls finished out the weekend with some swimming at a friend's neighborhood pool and then everyone came back to our house for dinner. We are loving how independent the girls are becoming - able to play for quite some time on their own with friends, eat unassisted, etc.

All in all it was a great weekend! Stella continues to give us lots and lots of sleep, only waking up once a night. We feel like life is very "doable" right now...and are amazed regularly that we feel this way since we have a newborn and two 2 year olds!
