Anna and McKenna have managed to completely freak Patrick out this week by 'pretending to kiss their boyfriends'!!! I couldn't figure out what they were doing the other day - making kissing noises, then saying 'yuck'. When I asked them, they matter of factly told me that they were pretending to kiss their boyfriends - yikes. I thought we had several more years before we had to think about boys at all - at least they thought it was yucky. Patrick's response - 'I guess I need to go get a gun license!'
The girls and I have been hanging out this week - school, playdates and going to work. On Monday, Anna and McKenna went to Jessica's house and Ava and I went up to my office. It was great fun to see everyone at the office and Way-Way and Claire (7 weeks old) were up there as well, so the babies hung out for a little bit. It was amazing to see the difference a month can make - Claire was holding her head up really well and focusing on objects pretty far away - they grow up so fast!
Today we had a playgroup at our house and some of the moms and kids from a playgroup that we started when Anna was born came over. 4 moms, 10 kids - talk about being outnumbered! It was great to see how big all of those kids have gotten and to talk to the moms - I forget how quickly I miss grown up conversation, and I have only been home for less then 4 weeks. We also got to meet Isla for the first time - she is 7 days older than Ava and a beauty just like her older sisters, Gemma and Zara. Thanks for coming over everyone, the girls had a great time.
Ava has been sleeping much better this week. Most, if not all of the night, she has been sleeping in her bassinet for at least 4 hours between feedings. Patrick was out of town Monday night and she slept from 9:30pm to 3:30am! That would have been even more wonderful if Anna hadn't chosen that morning to wake up at 4:45, so I still didn't get much sleep :( Patrick was back in town last night, but didn't get home until about 1am, so Ava decided to wake up at 1:30 and then again at 5:30 - I think Patrick is trying to plan more trips so he gets a full nights sleep!
The girls got new robes from one of their great aunt and uncle - they are supposed to be for getting out of the pool, but the girls wanted to wear them so badly we just used them for getting out of the tub.

See? That 'kissing boyfriends' stuff is exactly what you don't tell James ... (shudder)
Love the pic of Ava in the bed ... looks so familiar. Claire's been in her bassinet 2 nights now! I'm hoping for a successful third night before I start bragging. :)
Woo woo! Kissing already??! You guys have a tough road ahead of you, for sure! ;)
We loved seeing all of you, too! Wish you weren't going back to work so soon...
