Christopher - Week 1

It's that time of year again - Christopher time. He arrived last Tuesday (3 hours late thanks to Newark - yuck!) but safe and sound none the less. From the time he arrived, he's been going non-stop. Wednesday he went to see Ice Age 3 with William and Phillip (boys in the neighborhood) and then later spent the night with Phillip. Thursday we went out to dinner at my favorite - EJ's Pizza. If he's not with us on a "family outing", he's running around with the boys in the neighborhood or playing with Bailey. Or - he might be texting. That kid can text. He's the fastest texter I've ever seen!!!

To celebrate the 4th of July, we went to Towne Lake for some family fun and fireworks. Our friends Kelly and Mike (along with their guys Ashley and Megan) joined us. It was really nice. Towne Lake is a neighborhood right down the road from us. They had bouncy houses, face painting, fire trucks, boat rides, and fireworks. Bailey did so great watching the fireworks. She used to be scared but now she says she is brave. Reese was a little scared when they first went off but I covered her ears and she was fascinated after that. Belle only broke our baby gate while we were gone. At least this time it is not window sills or something else she chewed off.



Then today we went bowling. It was Bailey's first time. I thought she'd enjoy it more but after about 5 frames, she was done. In her defense, the lightest ball they had was 7 pounds - which was probably 2 pounds too heavy for her. But she was so cute trying! Christopher had a great time. He is quite the bowler. He even beat me the second game. That's my nephew!!!

I'll post more next week. We have all sorts of fun coming up.
