Summer is here!



























Well, as any of you living in the northeast know, summer has arrived with a fury! It's hot out and thank goodness we have air conditioning. Don't get me wrong - we love the heat, but again, we're limited to the time we can spend outside with the boys so they do not overheat, etc. But, I did sneak them out for a quick walk early yesterday morning and then we took a dip in our kiddie pool - all 2" deep of water! Yes, I too dip my whole self in. If anyone is watching, we must look hilarious. Me in my bathing suit that absolutely does not fit, and the boys - well they're in the buff. We get in there and it's just a fit of laughing and splashing. Chase is a maniac in there. He kicks constantly and Austin is just mesmerized by the whole experience. Without us doing anything, when we brought the boys in the pool for the first time on Sunday, both of them just let out this wonderful belly laugh. They just really got a kick out of the whole experience. But what a great age this is! Of course, I feel like I really don't know their age...are they 4 months or 7? That is the question. Ahhhh, life is too short to worry over these details. So, since I'm always in the pool with the boys, there are no pictures yet of their wet adventures, but I'll have Dan take some soon.

The only other update I have (hopefully our streak won't be jinxed by me writing it here) but we're heading into night 10 of sleeping through the night. Usually we get about 10 hours, but last night we got 12! I think we've hit that magic 15 lbs. and they no longer need a mid-night feed. Of course, now they'll probably start cutting teeth...it's alway something!
Stay cool and enjoy this wonderful weather we're having!
