Family and Bumbos!

Well, we decided to cooperate and let Mom get a picture of us both smiling.  Aren't we so cute??

This weekend we got to meet some more family!  We got to meet our Great Aunt Dot, Great Uncle Al, 2nd Cousin Mimi and 3rd cousins Hannah and Daniel.  Grace really enjoyed snuggling with Aunt Dot.

Hannah and Mimi made us these CUTE winter hats.  And this picture doesn't show it, but we really do love them!  It is just that it is over 100 degrees outside, and we really didn't think that was the best time to model winter hats.

Mommy and Daddy got us Bumbos this weekend!!  It was quite an adventure too, but well worth it in the end.  We learned a few good lessons on the way too.  We started with one Bumbo, and it was so great, they had to go on the hunt for a second one.  We got them from Once Upon a Child, a resale shop.  They have practically brand new Bumbos for a fraction of the cost ($15 as opposed to $35 or $40!!)  Mommy and Daddy are teaching us to be thrifty.  We had to visit 4 stores to find the second one.  We also learned the value of good customer service.  The first store had a pretty pink Bumbo, but the "manager" was so rude that we took our business elsewhere.  This is the One Upon a Child in Flower Mound if anyone wants to know.  I don't think they'll be getting Mommy and Daddy's business again.  Then we went on a looooooooong car ride to get to the one in Grapevine who didn't have a single Bumbo in stock.  That is where we learned the importance of calling ahead.  Then we checked out Kidd to Kidd, another resale shop in our area, but their prices were almost the same as a brand new one, so that was kind of pointless.  We learned the value of shopping around.  Finally we called ahead to the Carrollton store and they told us they had bunches of Bumbos in all different colors!  The manager of that store was really really nice.  We got a practically brand new blue Bumbo there.  The lady also noticed that we are military babies so we got a discount too!  And because of that, we also ended up with a walker.  We got a Bumbo and a walker for less than the price of one new Bumbo!  It pays to shop around (and to have a tough Marine for a Daddy)!

Grace looooooooooves watching tv in her Bumbo.  Here she is watching Yard Crashers with Daddy.  They are learning how to build us a swimming pool.  Hopefully Daddy doesn't come home with a little pink shovel and tell us to start digging!

And here is Anna...."Happy to be Me" while in full on meltdown mode.  The shirt is a little ironic, no?

And here is both of us just relaxing naked in our Bumbos.  It is waaaaaaay too hot to be wearing clothes!  We like playing with our burp cloths while we are sitting in them.   

Well, those were our weekend adventures.  I hope you enjoyed our update!

THE END.
