WALL-E

Elaine went to her first movie yesterday. She really liked Wall-E and the whole movie theater experience. About an hour in, she started getting restless but the movie drew her back in quickly. Too bad I couldn't take a picture in the theater - Elaine cuddled up on Daddy's lap watching the movie was very sweet.

And while we were gone, the grandparents babysat Natalie. She obviously had a good time!

It's Been Awhile...

A lot has been going on in the last month so I'm going to try to update all at once.

We had a busy Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday, our friends' daughter, Naomi, graduated from high school. On Sunday, we hosted a BBQ at our house. I made a Key Lime Pie and an Apple-Peach Pie. Both were very yummy!


















On Monday, we went (briefly) to a BBQ out in Strasburg (briefly because there were 5 children and their mother having coughing fits so we left). It was really cold that day so we came home and had a fire in the fireplace and drank hot chocolate with marshmallows.









After Memorial Day weekend, Phil had his birthday (I won't say how old he is now because I'm a nice wife) and we celebrated by leaving the girls with his parents and going to see Indiana Jones.

Natalie turned 6 months old last week. She's almost 27" and probably over 16 lbs. by now. She continues to be in the 80+ percentiles for everything. And she is an EATER! At least one of my children will eat.

Last weekend, we took Elaine to an air show in Broomfield. We all had a really good time. She loved the airplanes.

Elaine also got a bike helmet with ducks on it. Now we have to find the bike...but she can wear this when she rides her trike at Grandma and Grandpa's house.









In adult news....nothing new with me. Still trying to lose weight but it's going really slowly and it's quite frustrating. Phil passed his PE test. Hooray!!! Now he is officially a Professional Engineer.

Ok, there's the last month in a nutshell. I'll try to get my updates done more regularly.
