Teasing Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone! Loving this 80 degree weather after the chilly weekend. Just when I was beginning to think summer was over, Mother Nature teases us with a few more warm days!
 
We had a great weekend, hope you did as well!
 Mom had a nice dinner out with her mom friends Friday, Daddy had some time with his friends Saturday, Ava stayed with Mimi and Papa Saturday night (for some extra spoiling, just what she needs) and then Sunday Ava and I went to a birthday party while Dad stayed home with Violet and then later he took Ava to the pet store to see the cats ( She adores them)
The things from Justice mom said NO to, Mimi took her back later to get...so rotten!!
 
 
 While Sissy's away little sis will play..with all her cool toys!
 
 
If you didn't notice, there was not much mention of Violet...with Cold/Flu season on it's way, it's back to the bubble, or hibernation, for little Vi.

 Sometimes it makes me sad leaving her home, and quite often we've had to split up our family to do things. We don't really give it a second thought, we just do it! I would love to (and look forward to the day when we will) all go places and experience things as a whole family. Whether it be a birthday party, the zoo, out to dinner, a vacation, anything. What keeps us motivated and helps us stay positive is that we know the " someday" WILL come! And then many, many more years of family time!

Don't feel sad for this baby, we find creative and fun things to do. We go on lots of walks, are lucky to live in a city with TONS of parks, take stroller rides to get ice cream, A LOT!

When it gets cooler out we will play indoors more, and these girls have more then enough to keep them busy! They are so blessed to have such good aunts, uncles and grandparents that love to spoil them! Besides having toys in the basement and some in the family room, they also have their own play room. ( way cooler then anything we had as kids)
 
 
All cleaned up....it only takes 2 girls about 20 minutes to destroy it everyday
And by the end of the day they are usually worn out!

  1. Ellissa you are doing such an awesome job raising these girls! Would love to know more on how y'all stay entertained at home. With RSV season approaching, we have to stay in as well! I'm always looking for ideas to keep everyone happy!
