Sleeping outside

We finally had a Friday night in Ithaca that didn't consist of rain!! The kids finally got to sleep outside with their Dad on the trampoline. I think the had fun. They seemed to sleep well, and no wimps came inside in the middle of the night! Aren't they so cute! Of course, I didn't join them seeing as how getting on and off is a problem now, as well as the frequent bathroom trips that I take in the middle of the night. Maybe next time!!

Our Twins

These are the only pictures I will ever share of our kids naked!! But, considering it's such great news and all, I figured I would allow it this one time. Here are the latest ultra sounds of our children.


This is the boy's profile.


This is how we KNOW it is a boy.


This is our GIRLS face. She is looking straight at you.


This is how we KNOW it is a girl.

How excited we are to have a girl and a boy. It will be so much fun, crazy and busy!! Wish us luck!

Painting our living room

So, we decided to paint our living room. No, I didn't take before and afters, but I did let the kids help. I quickly realized that red is not really the color to let the kids help with. . . it's not as forgiving as other wall colors. It turned out well in the end, and they had fun, so no real harm done.

Grandpa and Grandma Dance come to visit

We had a lot of fun last week when my parents came up. We toured them around Cornell's potato breeding program, and showed them the waterfalls, then we went to Niagara Falls, Palymra, and all sorts of cool church history sights. We all learned a lot. We even checked out the outlet mall. It was a lot of fun, and mom got new shoes!! :) Thanks for coming and having fun with us Grandma and Grandpa!


Brayden talked his Grandpa into jumping with him. They had a lot of fun!



Evan road his bike in the garage while they jumped.


This is in the line for Niagara's Fury. Not really worth it, but still fun. Everyone looked cute!


Like I said, everyone looked cute!! :)


This is what it looks like when you try to take a picture while a waterfalls is pouring down next to you. . . doesn't work to well.


There was still a bit of mist in the air, but what a great picture!


Got Evan to take a similar picture. This is right above the horseshoe falls on the Canada side.

Since my mind is still out of comision, I failed to get other pictures of the other fabulous places we went. But it was a lot of fun, and we encourage everyone to come and visit us!! It really is a blast!!
