So far our second summer ever has been a blast!  First we got to celebrate a fun Father’s day with daddy and papa.  We went for a hike, and of course yogurt afterwards.  All the boys were very happy!

We have lots of fun at Omi and Papa’s house.  They spoil us lots and lots.  Every time we go over there we have a new toy- we love it so much!

Here we are having fun with auntie Denise and our cousins.  Aurelia is carrying around our packet of pickle juice, one of our favorite toys at auntie’s house (and the pocket has to be put to good use!)

Aurelia finally fell asleep after crying because mommy left… but then she got so comfy!

This is Avery’s favorite book. He asks for it over and over and over… so we have been reading a lot about Thumper this summer…

We are coloring now, too!  It’s lots of fun.  Aurelia does try to eat the crayons but other than that we get the idea.

We went to Jacob’s first birthday party!  It was monster-themed, so we dressed up as little Stitches 🙂  We had to stare at each other for awhile because each one of us thought the other one looked pretty darn funny!

Jacob’s mommy made all sorts of fun decorations!  We had lots of fun at the party.

We love Kelly!  Sometimes she is the only one we will go to at a party!

Having fun relaxing at home.

This year we got to have some fun for the 4th of July!  We went to the kiddie parade.  We somehow ended up walking in it with the Lutheran Church, but who cares?  It was fun and we got to see Papa handing out ice cream and we also saw our buddy Jacob!

Credits to Mary Ann for taking the picture, and to our friend Vincent in Germany for adding some flare.

We now like to play peek-a-boo.  All you have to do is say “Where’s Avery?” or “Where’s Aurelia?” and let the game begin 😉

We also had a nice visit from Heather, who came all the way from Oman!  Avery seems to have a bit of a crush!

Celebrating the 4th on Omi and Papa’s porch.

Then to a BBQ to visit our good buddy Nico!  Once again Avery was off having fun with Kelly.  Aurelia even let her hold her.  I think we are going to adopt her as another grandma 🙂

We have also started walking, but don’t have a lot of confidence yet, so we are tentative.  Mommy is okay with us taking our time and being careful.  Better than falling on our faces!  More pictures and videos of walking to come!
