Sand and Sea






Double trouble X 2

We were blessed to have John's sister come and visit us for 10 days in August. We got to meet Addi for the first time (she is 9 months old) and we got to see Aiden for the first time in a year and a half. Wow it was a crazy, challenging but wonderful time. We had a small taste of what parents of multiples might feel like because Lisa had a two day class in Seattle so John and I watched all 4 kids while she was gone. Addi and Elli are so close in age and accomplishing the same skills so it was fun to watch them play together. Aiden and Abi are two years apart but they had a great time hanging out and watching tons of Little Einsteins together. Here are some highlights of our time together.

We went camping at the beach and were short on sleeping space so thankfully Addi and Elli were accomodating.

Aiden met some new friends and learned all sorts of fun stuff like how much fun climbing trees can be and how cool head-lamps are.

What can I say... they are just so darn cute!!!


Elli and Addi kept us so busy I fell over from exhaustion every night but they are just so much fun. Despite the fact that Addi has bright blue eyes and blonde hair and Elli has dark brown eyes and brown hair every one thought they were twins.


Grandma Lori or Maga as Abi likes to call her came over to help while Lisa was gone, I don't know what I would have done without her.


It takes costco to keep enough supplies for these two around!!!
