Memorial Day Pilgrim

So... we were getting worried about the babies getting sunburned over the weekend. Having forgotten to bring hats for them, Nicole decided to fashion a hat for Ella out of a cloth diaper. She looks like a little Pilgrim girl and definitely does NOT approve of this choice. I thought it was hilarious.

Below is Noah and me that morning before the sun was out. He's thankful that Mom didn't fashion a hat for him.

Memorial Day

Some of the Ackerson side of the family of our family all got together at beautiful Kangeroo Lake in Door County, Wisconsin. It was a good time just relaxing and hanging out with family. We can definitely see this becoming a new family tradition.

Here is a group shot:


and this is the sun setting over Kangeroo Lake.

Before bed

Before bed, we all (yes, Moses is included) sit down in the big green chair and sing a few songs. Ella is generally good at what we call the 'corner sit.' Noah is a bit more wiggly so he tends to fall over --you can see that he is slowly sliding down behind his sister. She tried to go along with it, but in the end, he faceplanted on the chair and she was folded over in half.

Waking Up To a New Day

Its always funny to see them when they wake up. Noah was particularly playful this morning...


and Ella was wondering why we're taking her picture.

Little One

Sometimes we think that Ella will stay little forever. She is definitely a feather-weight, and unlike her brother, she still loves a good "swaddle"!

Mother Daughter Tea

A few weeks ago, Ella and I attended a Mother Daughter Tea at Nana's church. It was a lovely time --Nana even brought 'right-sized' tea cups for Ella and Annika.

It is time again to see how the babes are growing. This shot was taken earlier this week --they are 3 1/2 months old. I'm not sure how much they actually weigh, however I do know that Ella feels like a feather compared to Noah.

Spring Chicken

Noah and the rest of the family are excited that Spring is finally here. It was a long and crazy Winter...

Dad...

Dad-

Why do you always have to kiss me? Especially in front of the camera.

We call this the "Double Swaddle"
