Cape Cod

We just spent a magical week in Chatham. Chatham is a city in Cape Cod. Sarah (my brother's girlfriend) invited us to stay with her for the week while she had her grand parents' house. Unforunately, my brother got stuck at work, but we did get to met all kinds of important people in Sarah's life. Growing up, Sarah spent all her summers in Chatham and thus knew all the best things to do.

There were many adventures. We went to four awesome beaches, a pond, a band concert, to a pier to watch the fishing boat unload and get freshly caught lobsters for dinner, hung out on a dock trying to catch fish and crabs, and we got to swim in the most amazing pool ever (a friend of Sarah's has a crazy house there). I could write pages about each, but I'll just try to tell the story through pictures. I took an insane amount of pictures so I made a slide show. I did pick a few favorites to post too :)

Update and Pictures

My mom was here to visit for a week. I was able to make all kinds of appointments which included a pedicure. It was nice to get so much done! One of my appointments was another ultrasound. Baby girl had a something in the first ultrasound that looked like nothing, but they wanted to take another look at 24 weeks. It looks like nothing is wrong, and she is still a girl. I am happy with that :)

Every summer we have tried a new East Coast beach. Two years ago was Cape May, last year was Virginia Beach, and tomorrow we are heading to Cape Cod. My brother's girlfriend Sarah invited us to stay with her at her Grandfather's house. We have been excited about this for months!!!

Here are some random pictures that haven't made it on the blog

It seems like I only blog about the twins these days. I know the reason is that Jack pretty much won't let us take pictures of him. So this post is about my Jack. While he still has a love of all sports, he has discovered a love of dinosaurs and building towers (blocks or legos). Is he a boy? We aren't really sure :). While he still loves veggies, his new favorite food is raspberries. He also loves to help his mom and dad. He wants to vacuum around the babies' high chairs and help me cook. He loves to help daddy go running by sitting in the stroller and holding a flash light.

A few stories:

I needed a nap the other day and took the kids into my room with me. I woke up to the babies crying because it was time for them to eat. As I was sitting up, Jack says "I got it. Go back to sleep." I continued to get up and noticed that Jack had a box of formula. "Close your eyes" he said. I look over and the babies each have a scoop of formula on them.

While we drive, he comments on the cutest things. Yesterday we drove by some construction. "What a mess" he said. "Oh good, that car got a shovel to clean it up." So cute!!

I found a baby girl dress and put it up against Chris to see how it would look. I hear Jack behind me "NO! He does NOT like that." Way to protect your little brother :)

I found someone to come in and watch the kids when I need to do something. The first time she came, Jack grabbed her hand and took her into the playroom. He litterally took her through all of his toys. "This is the t-rex, this is the zebra, this is my motorcycle ....." I just about died. 

Something cute happens everyday. I feel so lucky that I really do take the time to pause and enjoy it :)
