Saturday Morning May 16th

Well Thursday and Friday were busy days as we took over the care of the boys during the day and what a relief to be back in our own bed last night. We had a fun day despite all the diapers changes, feedings that now have us using a spoon to poke in the mouths of the boys with oatmeal mixed with banana which they open widely for and of course bottles and then the burping process. Their reflux seems to be improving but occasionally either of us will get a wet burp with a mess down the side of your shirt. The boys are smiling, trying to talk and very attentive to anyone or anything that comes into their view. Their personalities are developing and each have their own little smiles which are very endearing as well as an occasional low lip protruding.

I did a swing fest after lunch for nearly two hours as I had them laid out on a thick blanket under the back yard tree and they napped or a good two hours despite some of the noise from the road traffic which is just beyond the back yard fence. They got a little sun tan as well despite being under the shade tree. Bobby and I took them in the jacuzzi for awhile and Huck never stopped kicking the whole time. He is very active and is a total wiggle worm even when trying to feed him. Ryder is more laid back and of course the larger of the two but he is so sweet and coo's with tons of smiles as well. They both seem to be over any of their infections from a month or so ago.

Bobby prepared a delicious supper of chicken on the grill, zucchini slices and brown rice and Annsley and Gabe ate with us. They came around 3 for the weekend and will come over on Sunday afternoon to spend the day with the Ross Kiddos at the beach and then all will have supper at our house along with a cousin and their two boys. It should be a rowdy good food fest with family. That will probably be our last family supper before we go except for celebrating Amy's birthday with just us on the 19th.

We made a stop at Sam's on the way home and they have very little meat and no pork butts. We also checked Wind Dixie and they too were short on meat and no butts. I'll check Publix today for butts and if none will do beer can chicken, LATER
