We enjoyed our first Memorial Weekend up North with the boys! It was great to spend time with our family and see our neighbors! We went boating, sat by the bonfire, ate unhealthy food, and LOVED having the boys out in the summer sun...with sun block of course!!! :)

I spent the day with my mom last night and spent the day with my mother-in law today!

We had a lovely brunch and lots of great family bonding time!

This was a very special day!

Jake & Ben at 7 1/2 months old!

The boys are doing very well. Ben is 13 1/2 pounds and Jake is 18 pounds. We took Ben to the pulmonoglogist last week and they are very happy with his progress. He does have a cough that they are not happy about so they suggested an inhaler. We told our pediatrician about this and she actually thought this was unnecessary...so we are not sure what we are going to do?? She told us that specialist often treat aggressively. They are quick to medicate. She knows Ben well and thinks his cough is nothing to be concerned about. So once again, the decision is left in our hands. We are going to do some research and go from there.

Thank you for staying in touch and we hope all is well! :) :)

Ben & Jake's Nursery!!!

At 7 months old, the boys finally are able to enjoy their nursery!
It has been so fun putting it together!
We did a nautical theme with light blue, navy and white colors.
