Ear appt and lunch

Baby Kate had her follow up hearing appt and the audiologist said everything is at 100%! I was anticipating a good report, because I have noticed such a big difference since her tubes were put in...but it's always great to hear good news! 

The girls always have fun in the waiting areas. 

We surprised Brandon a little later in the day for lunch. Everyone was excited. :) 

Amelia was so sad to leave him. She said "I just want to go to work with daddyyyyy!"

It's hard now that she understands, but it's also heartwarming to see how much she loves him. We just look forward to the weekend!

Leopard costume

For the past three nights, Amelia has dug her leopard costume out of the closet and put it on before falling asleep. So, every morning when I wake her up, we have the same conversation:

Me: "I like your costume!"

Amelia: "it's my leopard costume!! Can I wear it? I don't wanna wear clothes."

Me: "I think it's too hot for pajamas and a fleece costume today."

So, this morning when it was 68 degrees, Amelia ran upstairs and said "IT'S NOT TOO HOT MAMA!!!!!" So, today, all day, was spent like this. 

A day full of errands

Today we ran a lot of errands. A lot.

This morning I had my blood drawn and stopped at the farm stand. I found these bad boys for $10. My love affair with Oregon continues. 

After naps, we returned items to Costco and to friends that we have borrowed things from/needed to drop off. We had 5 total stops, and by the end the girls were so done with their car seats! 

Speaking of car seats, cleaning those is next on my to do list. I'm on a cleaning & organizing kick. Yesterday my closet looked like this. 

Now it looks like this! 

I'm pretty excited about it. :) 

Sick baby Kate

Kate's had a fever, so we took her to the dr today. They say it's either a reaction from her MMR vaccine on Monday or hand, foot and mouth. My guess is HFM. I guess time will tell. 

Big news

We got a portable AC unit today. It's a big deal. 

Park and Art

We had fun at the park yesterday. 

And we got messy at the art place today. 

Look at Kate's fingernails!

Lake Oswego Saturday Market

We love going to the farmers market on Saturdays. There's fresh fruit, a splash pad, birds to chase and beautiful scenery. And it's close to our house! 

Brandon danced with both girls to the live music. 

The girls shared some gelato. 

Amelia chased birds. 

We remembered to take a photo of ourselves. 

Baby Kate loved playing in the water. 

So did Amelia.
