Our new favorite things...

#1
Singing...doodo...doodo...doodo in our new big pool Mom and Dad bought us.
Yes, its 9:00 in the morning and we are having a great time. We're trying to beat the heat and the worst sun times and stay busy while we're transitioning to our 1 nap a day (and we're exhausted by 10:00 AM).
#2
Being two little monkeys jumpin' on the couch...one fell off and............
#3
Playing with our hose in the little pool. We've both learned how to drink from the hose and splash each other with the really cold water!


#4
The BEST of all...
OUR NEW NANNY!!


Introducing... Ms. Natascha
We pulled the kids from daycare due to illness and Mom's uncomfortableness with it. Nothing happened, Mom just had that uneasy feeling about it. So, we are now at home with a Nanny. Natascha moved here in December from Germany with her US soldier husband. They have 2 younger kids both in school ages 5 and 7. She lives less than couple blocks from our house.

She is FABULOUS so far. She is working with us, does what we want her to do and more. Ethan HATED shoes, but Natascha was able to get him to wear them without a problem and he even boasted to Mom when she got in the door about his "big boy shoes".

Natascha has started us on our 1 nap transition and so far, so good.

Natascha has cared for our sick boys (fevers of 104) when normally we would have had to take off work. Bless her!

Natascha cleans up after the boys, and the house looks even better than when Mom leaves in the morning. No, she doesn't do house work, but its not hard to keep a clean house when you have someone picking up after the boys.

We feel very blessed that Natascha came in to our lives at this time. She has been wonderful. Its a scary transition for someone to come in to your house that you don't know, but its worked out great so far. We pray everyday that things continue to go well.


WE LOVE SUMMER!! Can't wait to spend more time outside. Just wish Daddy could have weekends off with us!
