Out of commission....

I am terrible. I know. It's been 2 1/2 months since my last post. It's been a crazy summer! Currently our camera is out of commission as well. We'll be purchasing a new one this weekend.
Jack and Isabella have had a wonderful summer so far. In June they spent one weekend in Iowa and one weekend in Holton. They love their visits to Grandma and Grandpa's and Popi and Nana's. In July Nathaniel and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary with a kid free weekend at Popi and Nana's new lake house. So relaxing. The kiddos headed up to Iowa for that and then at the end of the month to the lake house with Nana to spend time with our Ohio family while Nathaniel and I went on a float trip.
The twins have really been thriving and loving school. I can't believe how much they have changed in the last few months. They really are little people now. It's sinking in. *tear* They will be turning 3 in about a month so we're in birthday party planning mode in our house right now. Should be an exciting couple of weeks around the 5th!!
We're going to start working on potty training in the next couple of weeks too! Bella is very excited about it but for whatever reason is scared of actually going on the potty. We're getting there, slowly.
I would also like to say that whoever came up with the saying "terrible twos" never had a 3 year old (or two). Oh my! Opinions and sass abound! We're working on that. They really are so sweet but really have opinions of their own now (the nerve!).
In closing I am attaching a couple of pictures I have taken with my phone recently.
One is of them at the table with Bella feeding Jack melon. The kids are nuts for fruits and vegetables which thrills me to no end!! The second is a picture of the kids having a "pic-a-nic" on the living room floor with popcorn. They also love popcorn and watching Madagascar 2. It's on HBO right now. Thank you HBO. =)
More pictures to come soon. I am sure we will be trying out our new camera this weekend at some point!

I'm not sure which is more popular at our house "I like to move it move it" from M-1, OR "Girl...you huge" from M-2. *sigh*
Glad you are back to posting!
