Sleeping Through the Night...




...pretty much, anyway! Yes, this week the boys have done a great job of sleeping for 5-6 hours at night. It doesn't sound like much, but it is a welcome milestone! They go to bed around 11:30pm or midnight, and then wake up between 5:00-6:00am. After that feeding, they go right back to sleep, and so do I! Do I dare say that things are becoming easier? No, I don't want to jinx it! :) (By the way, in the above pictures, Parker is sitting with Katie and Preston is playing on the play mat.)

Fun on the 4th of July







Our family had a great 4th of July holiday weekend! We started the party on Friday, the 3rd with David's family. He had an aunt, uncle, cousin, the cousin's sons, grandma, and grandpa travel to OK from Topeka, and his sister and her family came from St. Louis. We had a fun time visiting with them!

The next day we drove to Joplin and saw my aunt, uncle, and cousins on my mom's side in the afternoon. Katie and Lauren were introduced to a whole new world, how to play the Wii. Actually, it was a new experience for me, too. I guess having boys in the house now, we will have to learn more about technology and video games! Later that evening we went to my dad's side of the family and enjoyed seeing my aunt, uncle, cousin, her boyfriend, and some extended family for dinner. We drove home the next day. Whew!! What an exhausting weekend but we sure did have a great time getting to see everyone and introducing the boys to some of them for the first time!
