Swimming

Here's a pic of the kids in the pool today, which also happened to be Kai's very first dip. He loved it, though it's hard to go wrong with a pool that's about 95 degrees! =) Iain, we miss you and wish you were here with us!

Also included is a pic of Kai with Grandpa. I think they're good buds already.

Sesame Place

Here are a few pix of our trip to Sesame Place on Sunday. It rained during the first hour we were there and the girls were champs. No whining, just running and playing! And the rain kept the people away so we didn't have to wait in any lines. It was fabulous. And for this mom who has some OCD over her kids getting sunburned, a day of overcast skies was a beautiful thing!

Kai is 2 months and 5 days old

Kai turned 2 months on Sunday and went in for his check-up on Wednesday. He weighs an even 13 pounds and is 23 inches long. He is handsome as all get out and I will take a picture of him soon. =)

Happy 3rd Birthday Aves!

Avery turned 3 yesterday. Unbelievable! She is beautiful, smart, hilariously funny, a super story-teller, a water hose lover (don't get near her when she has one!), can sing Standing on the Promises with more spirit than anyone else I know, and is an amazing joy. Avery, we love you!!

She had a little party on Saturday (you can see pix of the Musical Chairs and Dora pinata below) and yesterday the five of us went to Sesame Place in Philadelphia. We had a super time and the girls rode every ride (except a couple of the water slides that they couldn't go on), but including the roller coaster (twice for Avery)! They also got to meet Elmo and Big Bird, and Audrey stood in line to meet Cookie Monster. Avery was willing to get her picture taken with the first two and didn't want them to touch her, but Audrey gave a high-five and hug to everyone.

In the middle of those two things, on Sunday, Kai turned two months old. Audrey and Iain put Kai's crib together, and here's a pic of the girls in front of the crib. Kai is such a sweet baby and as long as you feed him and change his diaper, he's a pretty happy dude. Life is so fun with these beautiful children!

The McConnell and Myers Girls And Kai

A couple of videos of the kids at Jill & Jeff's this weekend. We are super excited that they are moving to Florida but super sad at the same time that they're leaving Virginia! The first one is Kai smiling and the second one is the girls having fun!

Fun at the Park

Here are a couple of videos of the girls and Iain at the park yesterday, a video of Avery reading with Iain last night, and a video of Kai this afternoon. Pretty low-key videos, but I actually REMEMBERED to use the videocamera for once, so I'm posting them. =)

Cute Children!

From yesterday and today. Do they come any cuter? I think not!
