Father's Day & Grandma's Visit

Micah's second Father's Day was cut a bit short as he had to leave last Sunday around noon for a conference for work. We did get to spend a few hours at home together before he left, though, which was fun. Hopefully next year will be a bit more relaxing though as it's always stressful to pack and get ready for a trip.

Our gift to Micah

Although I have done one 24+ hour period alone since our trio was born, I prefer to have help and my mom was able to fly out and spend the week with us which was great! During the week we went on many walks, we played in the backyard, we went swimming twice, we went to our trio's one year doctor appointment, we went out for gelato and frozen yogurt, we installed our new 3-in-1 car seats in our 4Runner, we lowered all three cribs, and we introduced Alexis, Jack, and Faith to many new foods as they ate what we had every night for dinner. It was a very fun and productive week, and we were definitely sad to see my mom leave (although we were happy to have Micah return!).

Here are some photos from our week together:

Swimming at the YMCA. We rotated them so each could practice their "swimming."

Jack LOVES gelato!

Chick-fil-A is super close to our doctor's office so I have gotten in the habit of stopping there after doctor's appointments. This was the first time we shared the meal with our babes and they all enjoyed their chicken nuggets!

One morning we walked to the grocery store which is about 1.5 miles from our house as we had to get a few groceries (and Starbucks). Alexis, Faith, and Jack love getting out of the house but both girls fell asleep on the way home. Luckily, we were able to put them in their cribs without disturbing them and they continued to nap.

Using our new twins feeding tray during breakfast. Thanks Pam!

Faith's newest trick is climbing on the couch. Luckily she can only do it when we take the cushions off as she hasn't figured out how to come down safely yet.

Our new 3-in-1 car seats! These seats allow our babes to interact while we're driving and it's so cute to see them holding hands and hear them giggling while we drive around.

Bubbles! It's hard to blow bubbles when you have two eager "helpers."

Jack enjoys bubbles the most

Playing in the kitchen

They are figuring out how to stand by taller things now. Here's Lexi standing next to the table.

Jack wanted to try on his outfit for Grandma that he will wear at my brother's wedding in August. The top fits great but the pants are huge so they'll need to be altered.

We realized that Alexis, Jack, and Faith will need shoes for my brother's wedding and we were hoping to find some at Target, but we didn't have any luck. It was still fun to show Grandma the triple cart though!

The slider door is always an attraction. Most of the time Alexis, Jack, and Faith move around the house together while they play, which is super cute to watch but it also causes some issues since they crawl over each other and pull each other down when they're standing.
