It's not even 8:00 on Sunday night, and both kids have already been in bed for nearly an hour. I guess the fun-filled weekend with their cousins, Ava and Reid, wore them out! Parks; the zoo; playing with Jeff and Kristin's puppy, Pitch; and a slumber party - all packed into two days. Ella was so excited for their visit, and talked about it all week. Now that she's a little older, the three of them play so well together. Ella even spent the night at Uncle Jeff and Aunt Kristin's house with her cousins, what a big girl! In addition to the family fun, Ella went to work with Daddy on Friday morning. She had been asking to leave with him for a few mornings, so he thought she'd enjoy seeing where he spends his days. They took the bus and train, made a stop at Starbucks, and then met his co-workers and hung out in his office until I came to get her mid-morning. As for Jack, he's very excited about eating these days, and so far has tried - and liked - oatmeal, avocado, and banana. He's also getting more and more active, and has even started laughing at his sister and her crazy antics.
