Abe constantly asked to "hold Beeben" which is his nickname for Baby Stephen. Abe has always loved older kids, now I know he loves babies too! He swiped a few of Beeven's pacis and tried to get into all the baby equipment. He is used to being the baby, so he will have to adjust to being the big boy now.
Piper rarely stays on her feet too long these days. She took full advantage of Aunt Ashley's open living room to practice her handstands, cartwheels and round-offs.
We shopped Friday morning and grabbed some bargains at the outlet stores. That afternoon the kids rode bicycles outdoors and played until Nana and Aunt T came. They were supposed to stay the weekend with us but Nana ended having to work Saturday so their visit was cut short. We enjoyed them for the short time they were there and then Saturday afternoon took the kids to an awesome new playground near Ashley's house. Here are Abe and Piper in the "Candy Store".
And Cohen high above it all!
It was a really warm day and the park had no shade, so Abe spent a lot of time playing in and drinking water from the sprays on the side of the play equipment.
The rest of our visit was spent eating yummy food, riding bikes through the neighborhood and watching cartoons. It seemed like the fewer outings we took, the easier it was to manage the children.
We left Aunt Ashley's yesterday and visited one of Piper's friends in the children's hospital. She had surgery to remove a large tumor from her stomach area but she was up walking and even went to the rooftop playgound with my kids. The children's hospital was really cool with playrooms, learning classrooms, educational programming on a huge widescreen wall televsion and the covered rooftop playground. Knowing some children spend long periods of time there, it was neat to see how they catered to them and made the experience a little less dreaded.
Today should be nice although the weather is not looking great. We will enjoy it anyway!
