A week in Indiana...











Just got back from spending a week in Indiana with my family, it was so much fun! Even though the babies got off schedule and totally forgot how to nap during the day, resulting in some crankiness, it was still great to be there. Lilly naps in her bouncy seat and Asher usually his swing, but I didn't bring the bouncy seat with me and mom has a swing just like mine at her house, but for some reason that wouldn't even get Asher to sleep most of the time. So I figured since Lilly didn't get to nap in her bouncy seat and the swing wasn't really working anymore, it was the perfect time to start trying the crib again. They slept fine at night in the pack n' play, which was a really good thing! Today went pretty well with naps, especially for being the first day back from a week without their schedule. They took a 1 and a half hour nap in the crib today, which is just amazing with these two! I just tried to lay them down for another nap and it's not going as well as the last, they cried off and on for about 25 min. with me having to go in and do some patting and put pacie's back in, we'll see how long it lasts! At this point it would just be a huge step back to return to the bouncy seat and swing after a week of not really doing that. Anyway, my mom and sisters live in like this perfect little neighborhood. It's a new neighborhood which makes it look extra perfect with sidewalks down every street, a pond a cute little city park right down the road, lots of kids out riding bikes and playing. We took the babies for walks alot in the evenings, now that it's summer it doesn't get dark there until after 9pm. They also have these great neighbors that invite them over for cookouts all the time and to relax in the hot tub so we took them up on that a couple of the nights. One thing I did find out was that Lilly and Asher really enjoyed sitting on the patio in the early evening with us in the double stroller just looking around and being outdoors. Here are a few pictures of the cuties and a picture of my two sisters.
