Weekend Fun..

What a weekend we had. It's great to be a Philly fan these days, the Phillies kept winning, The Eagles won, Penn State won, heck even the Flyers won!! We watched several of these games and were thrilled with the outcome of all of them. But what we really did this weekend was have some good family time.

There is a local winery-Salford Valley Winery and we have been there several times for their open wine tastings. We took Abigail when she was an infant and well we just "had" to take the boys as well. We almost always also take a friend or two with us- this time Trisha came with us and Nana and Pop-pop who first introduced us to the winery surprised us and showed up as well. It was a great outing, and a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a windy rainy day. Abigail had a good time playing with empty wine tasting cups and petting the newest kitten.

Later that evening we watched Penn State and eventually we saw some of the Phillies, but then we DVRd the rest b/c afterall we do have two newborns who require me to be awake in the middle of the night and I Do TRY and get as much sleep as I can.

Sunday we all took a walk down to the river. We took a ton of pics and hoped to see some trains or some nice fall foliage but we didn't see much of either. The wind the day before must have blown off most of the leaves and no trains were to be seen. The boys slept almost the entire time, until Justin decided he wanted to eat and then he let everyone know it.

Then after Abigail's nap we carved our pumpkin--again the boys slept through the family fun. They should be thankful, as we decided not to put any babies in the pumpkin this year, only Abigail had to suffer through that when she was a newborn. For those of you that never saw that picture I've included one. Then it was bath night for the boys and we again watched most of the Phillies game and finished the rest in the morning. The real question will be whether or not I can make it up for the whole game on Monday, since I'll be home with the boys alone.

So that was our weekend but here are just a few other things that we would like to remember:

• Ryan is our cry baby--meaning that when he cries he almost always has tears in his eyes it really makes you feel bad.
• Justin often has tummy problems and his cries tell of the pain he feels.
• Justin and Ryan, but more so Justin really enjoys the playmat and looking in the mirror and batting at the toys.
• Justin is my sleepy head, but is starting to get the night time routine down
• Abigail voluntarily came over and helped fold Ryan's hands to say prayers before bedtime
