I need a massage

You know when people say that they need a vacation from their vacation?

I am in need of one of those post- vacation vacations.

Last week I had the pleasure of spending 4 consecutive days home with the family.

We decided to make the most of the days since all of us being home at the same time doesn’t happen very often.

 Thursday:

 we took the girls to the park:

Park fun by you.

Didn't notice that creepy van in the background before.

 

Park fun by you.

You can't tell but she was really happy here

 

They LOVE to swing. In Hebrew, there’s a song about swinging called “Naad Ned”. We always sing the song to them. Now every time they want to go to the park and swing, they say “Naad Ned” to us. It’s all very cute.

Later on, we had a visit with the pediatrician. Mind you, this doctor was my own as a child and I do not remember anything creepy about him. But, he is just way to kissy with my girls. He’s an awesome Doctor and was the head of my hospital’s NICU for many years (and for the millionth yr in a row he is featured as New York’s top Doctor is their top Doctor’s annual issue).

Neve weighs in 27.8 LBS and is 33.5 inches tall

Soleil is 26.12 LBS and is 33.5 inches tall.

 The doctor says that they are developing beautifully (thank GD) and that they seem to be on track for their age.. once they hit 2 their prematurity delays will cease to exist. All though, I will still always view them as my little preemies.

They recieved a few vaccines, which they were NOT happy about- but then the doctor gave them lolipops (their first ones!) and they were happy.

We then had a BBQ at my friend Franny’s house. She is pregnant with baby number 3 due at the end of the week (I predicted her pregnancy 8 months ago and told her it would be a boy- I was right). She will then have 3 children under 3.

Oh boy, and I thought I had it hard. Because we are always so busy, we never have time to see one another, so it was a really great night

Can I play with that? No. by you.

Baby # 3 coming any day now

 (15 buffalo wings later and I was ready to go home and sleep).

 Friday

we packed the kids up and headed to Sesame Place.

I had never been there before (It first opened when I was past the demographic for the park).

We purchased a new GPS (as ours is missing somewhere in our house) and made our way to Pennsylvania.

First time for all of us! by you.

 

Famous by you.

Super famous, I know.

On Saturday (Independence day)
we really didn’t do much of anything. We stayed home for a bit, and took the girls to the park:
Playing ball with Daddy by you.
Neve's fairy wings by you.
Soleil by you.
Mommy & Neve by you.
My brother came over later on that night and we ordered a movie and some pizza. We saw this movie:
I love Kevin James, but this movie took away an hour and half of my life that I will never get back.
On Sunday,
we had a first birthday party of a friend’s son. The mom is a former neighbor of my husband’s in Israel. She now too lives in our city (we ran into her at the IVF clinic 2 years ago). This was the only IVF that took, and she became pregnant with her son who is now 1. I love celebrating birthday’s of these much longed for children.

  1. That looks like a busy weekend.
    I liked mall cop. I thought it was extremely stupid and had NO expectations going in. Maybe that’s why.
