Memorial-Day-Weekend-Re-do!

We had a great, yet very busy weekend. Either way, it was MUCH better than our sickly Memorial Day weekend!

We started by Jon being off on Friday and ECI coming out to evaluate the boys. It went well, and we were so proud with how the boys behaved for the three ladies that came out with ECI! The results: they do indeed qualify, based on their Motor deficit. At almost 16 months, Caleb is about 11 months on Motor development, while Jacob is at 12 months. The great news was that they were at or ahead of the game for the other categories! Not surprising to us, Caleb was at 17 months socially. He takes after his Momma there. ;-) So, they will come out again in two weeks, and we will determine what all we can do to help get these little guys moving!

Entertaining their guests was very tiring for the boys, so they had a lunch of grilled cheese, carrots, and mandarin oranges, and crashed hard during nap! When they finally got up, Daddy and I had a big surprise waiting for them outside! We were finally able to wade around in our own little pool!! As you can see from the pictures, they loved it!







Saturday we had a Graduation Party for my cousins (the boys' second cousins), Kyle and Tyler. Kyle is graduating from Keller High School, and will be starting the "Blinn TEAM" program (part time enrolled at Texas A&M) in the Fall. Tyler is graduating as the Salutatorian of Lake Worth High School and will be starting Northwestern State University in Louisiana in the Fall on a great (almost full!) scholarship! We are very proud of both of the guys!


Jon, Jacob, Amber, Caleb, Cindy "Nan", and Al "Abuelo" at the Party


Gran with most of her crew: all of the Grandkids and Great-Grandkids that were there! (Kyle is to the left and Tyler is to the right of her in the middle.)


Jacob really wanted to practice his walking skills when he saw CAKE sitting on a nearby table. Jon kept having to distract and pull him away!

Sunday morning, we headed out to Mesquite for the Harper Family Reunion. (Jon's Gran's side of the family) The boys again did well, considering they had to get up early, there were tons of new faces, and they were outside with no great place to roam free.











Poor boys, again, crashed HARD after visiting with so many family members out in the sun all morning! Amazingly enough, once we got home, they actually continued to nap - shocking!





Here is a decent family picture from the Saturday night party:

(If we get both boys looking moderately happy, it's decent - if we get both boys looking at the camera and moderately happy, it's great - if we get both boys looking at the camera, smiling, and neither Jon nor myself happen to blink at that moment, it's a miracle!!)

Finally, here is my 28 week tummy!

28 weeks already?!?! Your family is super adorable - very photogenic! I love the pic of the boys looking at each other with their sun hats. Very cute!

Scary to think you have almost 10 weeks left of this pregnancy, huh? Time flies when you're happy and preggo! I loved being pregnant...but I hated the hormonal 2 weeks after. Blech!

Keep on growing!
