Had a great weekend

We had a great weekend! Our new washer & dryer was delivered and installed. Talk about quiet! The entire top floor doesn't shake when the spin cycle runs anymore. Ian is getting used to the new signal when the washer and/or dryer is done running. Right now it freaks him out a little bit.

We were happy to have Tina (Casper, WY) & Curvin (Belize) visit Friday night and Saturday morning. The timing was perfect as Curvin was able to help Robert get the old washer/dryer (stack unit) out of the laundry room prior to the new stuff being delivered. Curvin brought several of his new paintings for an art show up in Casper. He's done some beautiful work that he's brought with him. He also had a good time playing with the kids. Charlotte was quite taken with his neck chain and dreads. He's a very gentle soul and we always enjoy seeing him. Of course, we love having Tina. She gets right in there with the kids and gets her baby fix. It's Tina...what's not to love?

Charlotte crawled a couple times on Saturday and was doing more Sunday. I'll see about getting a video & uploading it. I got video of it last night, but it was getting dark and I'm not sure that you can even see her. She's also working on getting to the sitting position on her own. She's very happy about being able to get to things on her own. Silly girl, had a ball rolling around some sheets from the laundry. It cracks us up that the toys the kids enjoy the most are toilet paper rolls and laundry.

Ian is being very helpful. He likes to help load the washing machine and dryer. He's also enjoying sweeping the floor. He's tried to sweep his sister several times, but that didn't exactly go too well. He had a fun weekend and went swimming in his pool with Ms. Debra (the infant teacher at the daycare also baby sits for us) on Saturday. On Sunday he got to run around the park for a couple of hours and tired himself out - much to our happiness come bed time.

While Ms. Debra was over on Saturday I went to see Mama Mia! with my mom and Robert saw the new X-Files movie. I had fun seeing Mama Mia! It was a kitsch movie and Pierce Brosnan should never be allowed to sing again. It was painful! Other than that it was just a fun movie and absolutely a chick flick or only for the avid ABBA lover. Robert said the X-Files movie was good and not too over the top with the alien stuff. How's that for a movie review?

Hope everyone is geared up for having a good week. Ian goes in for his 18 month well baby visit on Thursday so I'll be able to post his recent stats then. In the meantime, hope you are well and have a good week.
