This weekend, we had a ton of fun with my mom visiting. Here’s the recap:Friday: After last week’s atrocious heat, it finally cooled down a bit for us to spend time outside. Mom arrived, and we spent some time sitting on the lawn and cooling off in the wading pool. Piper and Fletch just love being on the grass and in the water. Early in the day, Piper was having some separation anxiety issues but after relaxing in the pool, she calmed down a bit, and enjoyed just hanging out.
Saturday: Eric and I started the day by the heading out at 5:30am for a 9-miler with our running group, while Mom enjoyed the morning with the Piper and Fletch. We rushed home at 8:30am to rescue Mom from the babies, because they usually wake up at 5:30am and start to get cranky at 8:30am, only to find they slept until 8am! What’s up with that?!? In any case, after morning naps, we headed to a cookout, where the babies enjoyed the first taste of chicken and beef from their Grandpa’s cooker. Fletch was a bit apprehensive, but Piper loved it. She kept climbing back to me begging for more. We headed back home for afternoon naps, and just relaxed the rest of the day. We ended the evening watching the movie Salt, which was mediocre but mercifully short.
Sunday: We had a jam-packed day on Sunday. In the morning, before it got too hot, Mom and I took the babies on a long walk, and then we spent the morning playing in the baby jail. After naps, we headed over to the spray park to cool down and have a picnic. That place is just awesome; I can’t say enough good things about it. We got home just in time for everyone, including the adults, to nap. We then drove Mom to the airport, and the four of us went to another cookout. Little did we know, the babies would get to wake up to see Mom again on Monday because she got to stay a surprise extra night with us due to plane troubles. So, on Sunday night, I headed back to the airport. Mom got off the ground and back to Boston on Monday morning.
It was a terrific weekend. And the fun didn’t end for Eric on Sunday. He stayed home and did “Daddy daycare” with the babies because on Monday. Today, Tuesday, life was back to normal.

No huge milestones to report. Piper is crawling around faster and faster and trying to pull up. Fletch is still trying to crawl, but he's 99% of the way there.
