In May we took the kids to the aquarium, here is a photo of them acting like fish in front of the big tank. From the left are Katie, Elizabeth, Sophie and Noah. Ebi is behind Noah. Yes, the matching shirts might look queer, but they sure stood out among the crowd, and we left with everyone intact.
Here is Emily on the new Caterpillar swing. It is designed to hold two infants/toddlers, the max weight limit is 60 lbs. Emily can sit up much better than Michael right now, so for now she is swinging solo. I have tried him in it, but he just pitches forward, poor guy. But Emily has enjoyed it.
And another one of Emily, you can see how she SO wants to crawl. This was taken about 3 weeks ago. Currently, she is up on all fours, just rocking back and forth. Michael is trying his best too, he is holding himself up much better, but no leg action yet. Guess we will have to break out the baby gates before too long.
In other news, I drove up to
Lake Lanier today with my
parents to check out some houses for summer rental. Unfortunately, the lake is about
3 feet down already, due to the Army Corp of Engineers
letting out water to protect 3 endagered species downstream. We saw three houses that my sister Mary had found online, and all three were keepers. My family, Mary's family, and my brother
Tom and his family are going to rent houses the last week in July. This vacation option is quite attractive to me; we have been going to Seacrest Beach in FL every year. Although we love the beach, there is no way we are interested in making that drive this summer. Maybe when the babies are potty trained, don't need high chairs, pack and plays, etc. Going just an hour away sounds so much more relaxing. All of the houses are on the water, and have docks that you can swim from. It should be a fun getaway.
