Welcome Home!!

First thing I hear from Eileen "Mommy - we're loaded up with SUGAR!!" LOL - my kids had a wonderful week getting spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa! When I got home and tried to hold Evie - she just gave me the "what do you want with me" look and went to Grandpa. LOL
Dan and I finished our last day in Vancouver with a 6 mile bike ride around the peninsula - the weather and scenery were just GORGEOUS!!! - I miss oceans and trees.... :) Our area has neither. The whole ride was like this - beautiful trees and rocks on one side and the ocean on the other. And then a movie - the flight home was uneventful (lol - which is a good thing!)
After coming home we enjoyed a nice day with Grandma and Grandpa Jones - the only downside was our AC breaking down in the middle of the hottest week of the summer... thankfully it was in the evening and once the sun went down it was tolerable (well for me... Dan's parents - not so much.) Today we went down and spent the afternoon at my parents house to escape the heat - fortunately for us after an night and morning of resting it was easily fixed....It's amazing how much kids can grow in a week - we come back and Evie is walking everywhere (never crawls any more) and Aaron decided to start potty training himself.... He still wears a diaper - we haven't really pushed the issue yet, but any time his sisters use the potty - he wants to also - and he pees and poops in it. He's got that all figured out - and he loves to wipe himself - but can't quite figure out how to wipe the poop - the only problem is that if anyone goes in to try and help them - he waves his hand at them and says "no no - way way!!" (away) and shoos us out. LOL! What a funny boy!
Some pictures of the kids :)

Evie in Eileen's fort in the living room. :) She thought it was fun to sneak in there and out the other side...
Our indoor picnic (since it was too hot to eat outside!)
Playing in the new little pool that Grandma and Grandpa Jones got them.
