catching up...

Here is a glimpse of things we have been doing over the past 2 weeks.
Last night and today we celebrated Dad's big 60th birthday with a treat to Steak On A Stone and we will be having a movie night tonight.  It was real nice to have an adult, nice dinner together.  

 On Thursday, Chloe stayed with us during the day (she slept most of the time), but we were so happy to hang out with her all day.  That evening, when Kateri and I were catching up, Will told us to look at this birthday creation he had made.  Trying to keep from laughing and talking to him about how this was a wasteful use of food... Kateri insisted we take a picture for posterity, enjoy =)

 

 This past weekend I was so lucky to attend a Scrapbooking suite retreat.  It was so much fun hanging out with other friends and be able to work on Gabi's album.  I was able to complete all the way to 6 months for her.  I am really hoping to be able to go back in March and finish her first year.  Cudos to Tobin who bravely watched all 3 kids that weekend!  I love my hubby!

Gabi has been a little mover over the last couple of weeks first crawling and now furniture cruising.  She LOVES standing and is overjoyed with excitement when you hold her hands and help her "walk". 

Last Thursday the kids had a bowling field trip with Will's school.  This was both Will and Isa's first time bowling!  They had a blast, but I kept thinking that the balls looked heavier than the kids =).
