Busy Busy

We were at Mom and Dad's Thursday night, Friday and Saturday morning.  It was nice to visit with them.  We have been seeing them every couple of weeks this summer and it's been really nice!  Josh helped Dad with some haying and I got to grind some flour.  And we spent time together talking and playing with the kids.

We spent the rest of Saturday at Jake and Ruth's.  We tried to lay the kids down for an afternoon nap, but that didn't work to well...Addy had been crying off and on for a while before we heard pounding on  the door of the room where John and Olue should have been sleeping.  I went upstairs to check it out and it turns out the most recent crying was Lu.  She was hanging from the outside of the crib and John was pounding on the door to get our attention to help her.  A little while later, after we thought Addy had been sleeping, she started to cry again.  Jake went to get her.  Turns out when she was quiet, she wasn't sleeping...She was getting undressed.  (Sigh!;)-Hee Hee.  Oh well.  I guess they will all live without the nap for that day!

We all had a good time before and after that little naptime.  Here are some pics...

 We decided to let the kids get some fresh air and play with Addy's t-ball set.  Turns out the "big boys" played more with the toys than the kids.  The girls were more interested in eating crab apples.

All of the kids had doctors appointments on Monday.  Olue and Jeremiah had well check visits.  Olue has grown 3 inches since April.  She's finally onto the charts for her age.  She's 22 lbs and 7 oz and 31 1/4 inches tall.  Jeremiah is 23 inches long and 12 lbs and 1 oz.  They both cried for their shots, but we were out walking to Target in no time.  We met Josh and John there.  Then we had lunch at Pizza hut and were off to John's bone doctor.  His bone is healing well, but he'll have to be in this cast for another 2 weeks.  Then he'll get a short leg cast.  I just hope we never have a broken bone again.  This cast thing is getting old and I'm not even the one wearing it.  John gets around pretty good.  He is getting a blister on the top of his foot near his big toe from walking though.  He sometimes complains that his other leg hurts too.  I'm sure because he has to use it to swing around that big club on his other leg.  Sometimes I hear him say "Stupid cast" under his breath.:)  He's doing good though.  Really the only thing he can't do is get into his booster chair at the table.  He can get in and out of bed by himself and go potty by himself.  He can run pretty fast when he's chasing Lu Lu around the house:).  But he's a little slow when walking outside.  We put one of Josh's short socks over the cast, but the ground still must hurt his toes to walk on.

Olue is talking up a storm.  She is always telling me something.  I read them Cinderella before naptime today.  She kept pointing at Cinderella on the pages saying "Rella at, Rella at, Rella at."  Pretty Cute!

Jeremiah's getting big fast.  He loves playing with Johnny and Lu.  He's always really smiley right before he goes to bed at night.

Well now I can cross "blog post" off my list.  I have a pretty big list to get done before the weekend!  Better go while Jeremiah and Lu are sleeping.  It's hard to get them all to sleep at the same time, but Johnny's being pretty good right now.  TTFN
