Gavin and Logan: I'm Not So Good At This

I've discovered that I'm horrible at remembering to update the blog. My goal is/was to try to do it once a week and so far, no luck. So, before our lives take another crazy turn in the fall, when Galen and I go back to work and school, my goal will be to set a specific day to update. Yes, I realize that it most likely won't happen, but I can dream...right?

So much has happened since I've last updated. Gavin and Logan are both smiling and cooing. Their little smiles are the cutest things I've ever seen and it's made me fall even more in love with them. I love that they smile at the most random things, the purple hippo on their swing, the window, their bottles, Bowser and absolutely nothing. They are also so much more alert. When they are in their swings, bouncy seats or on their playmat they actually pay attention to their toys and seem to be entertained by them. And they have outgrown their newborn clothes, which was a very bittersweet moment.

We have been pretty boring lately and not doing much, just savoring these moments at home with the babies. We did have our first road trip two weekends ago to my parents house. The boys did pretty well in the car and would have done better if I was more organized. Our plan was to pack the car, feed babies and leave. Well, we packed the car, fed babies and then left. Bad idea, we ended up having to stop after an hour and a half of driving so the babies could eat. And of course when we stopped they decided that they would like to take their sweet time eating. And then Logan decided that it was a good day to have his first diaper blowout. Oh the joys of babies. Thank goodness the rest of our drive was uneventfull.

We had a wonderful time on our first road trip. Galen and I were able to sneak in a few naps and the boys enjoyed spending time a lot of time with their grandparents, auntie Sami and uncle Charlie, we did miss uncle Jake a lot! They also got to see both sets of great grandparents, their great aunt Mary, great uncle Glenn, great aunt Carol and great uncle Kenny. My mom hosted a Meet the Babies party and a lot of people stopped by. It was so great to see a lot of people that I hadn't seen in a few years and that Galen hadn't met. And everyone enjoyed seeing the boys and getting to hold them.
