It's July!

This week was full of fun at our house. We went to the doctor and found out that the girls are growing like weeds. They weigh over 17 pounds each! There is definitely a reason I have really buff arms these days. Unfortunately, we also found out that they have the world’s worst yeast infections and have to go to the doctor’s office again tomorrow. Alex went to storytime again and had a great time learning a new song about bunnies. He learned that bunnies hop, hop, hop. So, when he got home and saw Daddy hopping everywhere (Ben hops short distances to avoid using his crutches), he was very excited. He now follows Ben around hopping and laughing. Ben found a new favorite show. It’s a candid camera show that features several really silly situations each episode. While discussing why Ben likes it so much, I realized again just how overeducated he is. He said, “I think other people like the show, but I really like it because it features such interesting social dilemmas.” Social dilemmas? Yep, all that tuition is paying off. Finally, my cousins Tyler and Stephanie came to visit for July 4th. They brought awesome fireworks from Wyoming and we had a great time wowing the neighbors. We didn’t think Alex was paying much attention to the fantastic (and completely illegal) fireworks that Tyler was setting off, but he woke up talking about them this morning. I guess they did make an impression. Naomi also thought that the fireworks were great and stayed up way past her bedtime watching all the fun. I forgot to take any pics, so my fantastic descriptions will have to do this week. We are looking forward to another family reunion next week and hope that everyone had a great Fourth like we did.
