Going to see Elmo

Thursday night we took the kids to the "Big City".
Ate at the CNN building

Then it was off to see "Sesame Street Live"

Waiting on the show!

Eating our popcorn

Don't they look alike

They had so much fun and did really good at the show and in the big city. They even straighten up when they saw a policeman.

In the words of Ellie "That was Fun!"

Puggles

Tonight was their 1st night in Awana at church. They are in the Puggles class for the 2 & 3 year olds.

Look at how big they look sitting in line with their class.

Craft Time

Evan is the only boy with 6 little girls.

Anna Ruby Falls

Picnic time at Anna Ruby Falls

If you live close around Habersham then you have probably been to Anna Ruby Falls in Helen. I think I have gone there almost every year. We always loved having picnics by the river then walking up the trail. I even remember when I was 4 or 5 hiking the almost 5 mile trail from the top of the falls all the way back down to the campground at Unicoi. I also remember I got stung on that hike. Well we didn't make the kids walk the 5 mile trail we opted for the paved 0.4 mile trail. It is still a steep hike especially if you have to carry toddlers. We didn't even think we would make it all the way to the top, but we did!

The beginning of the hike
Don't wear yourselves out, we still have a long walk

We stopped at most of the benches to give them a rest

Oh No. Evan wants to be carried. It's a good thing they are skinny, I don't think I would have gotten too far. Matthew had to carry Ellie because she saw a Millipede that scared her. We were so proud of Charlotte she walked the entire way!

We made it!

There was a man there that looked like Santa Claus, so we got him to take our picture.



On the way down Ellie enjoyed the ride and Evan walked down.

Charlotte on the other hand was tired from the trip up

I hope the kids will have lots of memories of Anna Ruby Falls like I do.

30 month check-up

This past week the kids had their 30 month check ups. We usually do all three at once and that is a little stressful, so this time we decided to do each one on a different day.

Evan was up first. He was happy in the waiting room until his name was called. He didn't want to stand on the scale and then everything else was no fun either. He gave this mommy a hard time trying to hold down a bucking bronco. He did finally stand on the scale for Dr. Sims & a T-Rex sticker. Here are his stats for this appointment.

Ht - 37 inches - 75%

Wt- 25.4 lbs - 3%

Ellie's turnShe was the star patient. She did everything the nurse asked and then when Dr. Sims got finished with her exam Ellie asked her to do it again. She even got to listen to her own heartbeat. No tears until the shot came. Here are "Skinny Minnie's" stats:

Ht - 36 inches - 60%
Wt -23 lbs - 1%

Last but not least Miss Charlotte

She was so sweet and good. She had lots of fun in the waiting room with another little girl. She did everything the nurse & doctor asked of her. Once again no tears until the shot, but a Dora sticker made it better. Here are her stats:
Ht - 35 1/2 inches - 50%

Wt - 24.2 lbs - 5%

I think each one enjoyed a little one on one time with mommy even if it was going to the doctor.
