Weekends are for L.O.V.E.

There are so many things I should be doing. Grading papers, entering grades, cleaning, cooking, packing for tomorrow.... the list goes on. However, this past weekend was so nice - I just need some time to relish in the great weather and wonderful time spent with my babies.  They will only be babies for so long.  This post is super pic heavy - so enjoy all the fun we had.

Saturday mornings really are special around this house. We sleep in late, eat breakfast together, and hang out in our pajama's for as long as possible.

 Addison LOVES to hang out with Alexander. Wherever he is... she is close by.

 She does this on her own. She kisses him, holds his hand, puts her arms around him. She is a great protector for him.

Andrew realized that everyone else was having fun on the little couch and decided to make an Alexander Sandwich!

Sundays take on a life of their own.  We try to attend church every Sunday.  We succeed fairly often, but sometimes trips, illness, or just plain exhaustion keep us away.  Our church now has 2 services, so the early service fits our schedule perfectly - we are done by 9:30!  Thank goodness it is starting to warm up - we can finally spend some time OUTSIDE!!! This afternoon after naps we headed out to the park.

SWINGS!

 Ever wonder what an 8 lb nine month old looks like in a swing?  Well... here it is:

 We took some blankets in expectation that he might not quite "fit" in the swing.  That was good thinking!

 If you don't know Alexander.... he is very content here. Even though his mouth is not in a total smile, you can see the edges of it starting to turn up.

 He really did love the swing. His sister and brother were on the big swings next to him - and he smiling as he kept going up and down with them. Unfortunately - every picture with a true smile is also blurry.... Such is life.

 So Alexander's neck was starting to develop this HUGE amount of tightness in his left side. I used some Kenesio tape on his right side to help straighten it out... hmmm.... now I'm going to have to tape him on both sides because he is turning to the right side in every one of these pictures!!

 This is Alexander's first time in the stroller where he can see out.  All the other times he has been in the stroller - he has been in his car seat - so the only person he can really see is me.  As you can tell - Addison is always close by her "little buddy."

 All mothers of multiples know.... a RARE picture of both in the same camera frame!

 Andrew is getting so big. He has very little fear - and here he was extremely proud he could hold on "all by myself!"

 I love this girl. She is beautiful inside and out.

 Ok. A rare moment of fear.

 One final picture - exiting the slide. This face pretty much sums up the day.

What a wonderful evening - to end a wonderful weekend. Spring is in the air and we are all ready for it!
