New routine





Our babies are growing so fast. Eliza has been wearing sundresses all summer, and some of my favorites are getting too short! She's 38 pounds now and 38 inches tall.


Ezra is 15 pounds and is such a good baby! He loves to snuggle. His hair is growing, but he's got this one hair in the middle that's an inch longer than all the others. I guess it's the first hair he ever grew in utero. So cute!


Last week school was closed and the 3 of us spent the whole week together. We had playdates, baked an apple pie together, went to bouncy castles, Chuck E Cheese, etc. Then on Wednesday we spent the night with Grammy & Papa. Eliza helped Grammy make a chocolate pie and all the grandparents got to watch Eliza swim. The next morning we headed out to the lake and Eliza and Papa went in a paddle boat and she swam in the lake a bit. She had a really good time, but she isn't really a "lake water" kind of girl. Nope, we like our chlorine over here.


To celebrate the end of summer all 4 of us had a 3 day weekend at a resort near Bandera. It had a water park, horseback riding, smores by the campfire, a cowboy who did rope tricks, hundreds of deer, golf, all sorts of things. It was a great little getaway and Eliza learned the phrase "You know what?" Chicken Butt." from a 5 year old. Apparently this is hilarious to children and needs to be repeated ad nauseum. Her giggles are pretty contagious though.


This week I went back to work and both kids went to school. I love that they go to the same school and they're so close by. Eliza is taking ballet again, along with fitness, music and Spanish. Ezra is taking Drooling 101. Actually he loves watching the other babies and he gets a ton of individual attention. When I pick him up, he's like, "Hey, it's the Milk Lady!"


Other than being very tired, S and I are feeling super lucky. Can't wait to spend the whole weekend snuggling my babies.
