Peter and Molly love to bring skateboards to the park - they play a little and then find creative ways to ride their skateboards. Pete could move amazingly fast on his tummy!
Molly needed a push to get going but then figured out how to use her hands to get around.
Daddy gives Molly girl a push on her skateboard!
Annie will only sit in the stroller for so long these days - she likes to be part of the fun!
Our little skateboarder - Peter is amazingly coordinated on his skateboard!
Bob and Ann dressed in red - those eyes just amaze me. (Ann's - not Bob's)
Molly gives Annie a ride on her skateboard. Annie was a little unsure about the whole thing but Daddy was close by just in case!
Peter's turn to take Ann for a ride - he could actually manage to ride around with her on his lap. Bob hovered over them but Pete has a pretty good grip on her most of the time.
Annie took a little break in the hockey net - her own little hammock!
My gorgeous baby girl loves to be outside!
Molly girl rides the firetruck! She just fits on it still!
The big kids on the firetruck together - they could barely get it to move because they were so heavy!
Annie on the ride at the park - she made it bounce all on her own and loved it!
Molly and Annie on the firetruck - Molly was SO excited!
Annie driving the firetruck!
Our girls on the ride together - very cute!
Peter is amazing on the monkey bars and other equipment - he hangs upside down and hangs from his knees. He is a little nervous since falling at Auntie Kate's a few weeks ago but he is getting his courage back. He actually fell from upside down and landed on his head and back - I have to admit to being a bit nervous for a while but he recovered quickly!
Banana learning to put one foot in front of the other! It seems like we brought her home from the hospital yesterday and she already can't wait to get moving!
It is now 8 a.m. and the big kids are finally awake. Most weekend mornings I don't even hear Annie's 6:30 a.m. wake up call because Bob jumps out of bed to get her so that I can get a few extra hours of sleep. Yes, I know I'm spoiled but I revel in it - especially since being pregnant again! This morning I was awake and managed to get Ann quickly enough so that Bob could sleep. He doesn't generally sleep more than a few hours anyways but I did keep him up until 2 a.m. discussing every fear and insecurity I have had since I was five! And Annie in the morning is bliss - she is warm and cuddly and smiley!
When you have three kids having some time with each one is a rare thing but my cousin KK is the absolute best about not only taking our kids at random times but also acting as though we are gifting her with that responsibility! Last night she took the big kids for dinner and fun while Bob and I relaxed with Annie. (And that was after leaving church midway to take me home because I was sick and then running back to help Bob with the kids!) Bob and I laid on the bed with Annie for 40 minutes kissing her and playing with her and teaching her to do "So Big". What a gift to get some time alone with one child. Last weekend Molly and I went gorcery shopping together and to run errands and I found myself stretching that time out just to have a few more minutes with her alone! So the kids came in at 9 pm happy, tired and having been spoiled by KK - she even let them get milkshakes with their happy meals! As an added bonus they went to Papa and Grammy's and hung out with Auntie Karla, Uncle Pat and the kids. I have to admit that Bob and I were a little jealous that there was an impromptu party at my parents and we were the only ones not there but the break was nice. I read 10 chapters in my book - eeeek!
