Lot of new posts!
I just posted a month's worth of pictures. Sorry I'm not great at keeping up on a weekly basis. My goal is to post once a month. There's lots to look at. Enjoy!
Family Visit
We always love it when family comes to visit. My parents came to visit a few weekends ago. We had a great time!
Practicing the superman pose with grandpa
Quality time with Uncle Brad
Grandma is so good to me!
Aubrey loves to dress up, especially to dance.

Aubrey's a Big Girl!
Aubrey has now officially moved to her big girl room. She sleeps in a big girl bed. However, the transition was not necessarily made seamlessly!
This is a picture of her big girl room all done in bright pink, green, black, and white. Now that she doesnt' sleep in a crib, Aubrey has discovered she has the freedom to get out of bed on her own. Check out the next two pictures...
Aubrey's room before "nap time"
Aubrey's room after "nap time"
I thought Aubrey went down for a nap, so I decided to catch a few precious winks myself while Andrew was sleeping too. When Joe got home from work, I was still sleeping and Aubrey was wandering aroung the house. He asked where mommy was and Aubrey said, "Mommy nigh-night." She never went to sleep and had been wandering around the house by herself for a few hours. There was evidence of her activities all over. Oops! That's some good parenting for you! After that, during nap time we put up a gate so she couldn't get out of her room. I guess we can't force her to sleep, but at least she has quiet time in her room.
One night she had to sleep with her Barbie sunglasses.
Her four Elmo books have to be read every night. I think I have every word memorized. After we read them, she puts herself to sleep by reading them herself. Too precious!
These pictures are a few weeks old. Currently, she no longer likes sleeping in her toddler bed, so she just sleeps in the queen. We took the toddler one to the basement for storage. Also, we no longer have to put up the gate, she takes naps now and doesn't try to get out until we come and get her. I hear her saying, "Mommmmy, Mommmy" and I know she's ready to get up. We're so proud of her sleeping in a big girl bed. This, of course, means that the crib is available. Andrew has been sleeping in it for a few weeks now and is out of the pack and play in our room.
A Visit to Rochester
During my maternity leave, I decided to brave the road and take Aubrey and Andrew to have a girls' weekend in Rochester. The boys were in Madison for a boys' weekend and a hockey game. The kids were champs in the car. A car DVD player is a must! I'm so glad we went. Aubrey and Tegan love to play together. We had lots of fun with everyone.
Bath time!
Dancing with grandma and Tegan
House of Bounce... Aubrey loved jumping and bouncing all over the place. She only got stuck at the top of the slide once. Mommy had to go in the "No Adults allowed" area to get her down.
Andrew is practicing his flying skills with grandpa.
Me and my babies
Snacks at grandma's counter.
Aubrey is having her first taste of Indian food!
We heard some fine music coming from the play room. Aubrey and Tegan are budding musicians.
