Rolling the Dough

It's Thursday night and the nurse should be returning. Again last night we got very little sleep.  Not only was Eli up all night but Ariel was on top of me too.  It's 9:44 and I plan to be in bed by 10!  Today we went to Children's Hospital in Philly because Aden and Eli needed scans.  I will talk more about that later.  Everyone is good though.  I didn't take many pictures this week so I'm just going to finish off last weekend and save what pictures I have for Monday.

Swim.  I think it's time to move her up to the next level which means I'm going to be sadly out of the pool.  Maybe we will start with the twins in the Fall so I will be back in before we know it.

Ariel and her friend Olivia.  Olivia was terrified the first few classes but is warming up.

Big crowd on the boat.

Loves those jumps.

He wanted to play chess!  He just read a book about it.

He kept thinking checkers though.

Playing with our robots in the afternoon.

Such a great mommy.

My family came for dinner and to make Hamantaschen for Purim.

 Aden liked getting dirty.

 We love when others want to hold them!

 Strawberry and cherry.

 My grandmother was in her glory.

 Uh oh, getting the stink eye.

 I noticed a fox out back!

 Finally we got to eat the cookies.

 Noah kept staring at Bubbie.

Which made her laugh.  It's 10 and the nurse just got here.  Good night!

Slow Dance

I can't believe we are still back on Saturday.  It's hard to be talking about snow when it's suddenly so warm.  Sammy came over to go sledding.  I posted this picture on Instagram and someone said it's like they are in a junior high school dance.

All bundled up and ready to hit the slopes.

Poor Todd had to carry Ariel.

 It was easier to just pull the kids.

 After the first time down the hill, the kids decided they wanted to explore the woods behind our house.

 Making snow angels among the trees.

 The snow was deep!  A bunch of deer ran by us!  They are so light on their feet.

 Sammy wanted to try.

 All the sudden the kids got scared of the woods and wanted out.

 One more time down the hill and they were done.

 Hard to believe it's been like 4 months since we have been on the swing set.

 Uncle Todd helped out with feeding time.

 Lunchtime.

 The kids got silly everywhere.

 They were super busy.

 Pushing their future three children.

 That afternoon, we had a nice visit from Jason and Rachel.  We haven't seen them in a while.

 We let them hold the kids.  We look for any break we can get!

 Hopefully we will see them soon.

 Later that day, Amy took Ariel to a kid from her classes birthday.  I would have liked to have gone and taken lots of pictures but Amy really needed to get out of the house.

 Ariel and Dylan, still going strong.

 Little Gym is always fun!
