We went to bed Wednesday night with an empty family room, and woke up with a full family room of sleeping beauties. Wouldn't ya say?
Before they woke up, I was off to watch the twins. Luckily I was able to bring the kids along all day and we were all pleased as punch about that. My family LOVES kids and the kids LOVED them. We had so much fun. Seeing my family with all these little kids I nanny and adore sure makes me excited for some kids of my own. I think it makes my family a little excited too. Actually, I think it makes them more frustrated that we don't have kids of our own yet. I heard a few, "Well if you'd just have kids!" or "You should have like 2 kids by now!". Patience is a virtue. :)
We spend a few good hours at the Museum of Natural History. Love that place.
Always finding joy in the simple things. This kid is ALWAYS entertained.
My little brother is positive "this must be what the atoms look like in Mickey Mouse's brain!"
Remember that Serendipity date night? Well we've decided to do the same as a family. Tonight we're watching the movie, and tomorrow we're going to go get some yummy frozen hot chocolate.
These boys, or should I say twins (the glasses and the jackets...awwww), can't stop talking. Seeing my family and Derek love each other so much tugs at my heart strings.
Tonight we saw Mamma Mia. Darling. A little risque for the little ones, but we all couldn't help ourselves from dancing. Sure love that music. Notice my dad's arm. He's copying the picture. He's such a goofball.
It's so chilly here in our corner of the world! I'm loving it, but I'm starting to feel like Fall was forgotten. It seems like this happened last year too back in Utah! We're still waiting for some pretty colors on the trees. Seeing all of the beautiful colors in Utah makes me a little homesick for those pretty mountains!
And in case you were wondering, YES we have 9 people living in our apt right now.

ReplyDeleteOh this makes me want to come and visit oh so bad! It seems like it has been forever since I have seen you and and the Fam ... and just think Neil and I went six years before we had kids and now that web have B it seems like he has been with us always:-) hoping someday I can come visit you in New York!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep hoping too :) We would LOVE to have you guys!
DeleteHoly.Freakin'.Cow. Ammon!!!! I had a hard time in the group pictures figuring out which one was actually Derek (having not seen Ammon since Jr. High). You guys all look great. Maybe we need to come visit before the days get to be too cold? Okay, realistically, it wouldn't happen until summertime and we'd have a brand new baby....Hmmm. I might have to give this a little more thought. But I have an aching to get out to see the history and walk the streets!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! And it would be so fun to have you visit! Who can say their junior high choir teacher had a sleepover with them in NYC. The baby shouldn't be an issue, since you'd have a babysitter more than happy to play with your little one...hint hint. Me! Come come!!
DeleteHow fun!! I can't believe how grown up all of your siblings are! And I'm impressed... nine people in a NYC apartment has got to be some kind of record!
ReplyDeleteRight?! It was crazy, but fun. Let's get together again soon!
DeleteVery cute house guests! Looks like fun!
