It's been busy as usual around here. Last weekend we attended our 6th annual Rally in the Alley with our neighbors. It's hard to believe we've lived here almost 6 years! It was fun with lots of good food and games to play. JP learned to play Yatzee in the kid's tournament. It's amazing how many kid's live around just on our alley. Over 30 were at the rally. We always say it's going to be scary when they all become teenagers!
On Tuesday, Nana & Pa arrived. They have been having fun with our babies, JP and with little George. The babies are loving getting held all the time ~ I'm sure they'll be looking around with sad faces next week when its only me again during the day! On Sunday, we went to the Ringling Bros. Circus (Joe took one for the team and stayed home with the babies.) It was a lot of fun. I have never been a big fan of circuses, but this was more like a theatrical production and kept JP entertained. He loved all the clowns and animals and motorcycles.
On Friday, we took the babies to Children's Hospital to have their heads checked for plagocephaly (a very flat head). Ryan does have it pretty bad, but they feel that it should get much, much better on its own and really did not recommend a helmet. They said studies have shown that in 5-6 years it should be close to that of a molding helmet on its own, and although he will probably always have some sort of flat spot, many other kids in this generation of back sleepers will have the same thing. Considering the helmet is considered cosmetic and runs to the tune of about $6K, we'll just keep trying to get him to lie on his less favored side.
On Monday, I joined a Bunco club in our neighborhood. I had never played before, but it was a lot of fun. I think Joe thinks its good for me to get out of the house sometimes and not go baby crazy :) I got to meet a lot of new people and will look forward to the monthly outing. The best part is I can either walk or only take a short drive to the games.
Yesterday was Joe an my 8th Wedding Anniversary. Hard to believe! Who knew we would have 4 kids in 8 years! Actually, I wouldn't change a thing about our life and am so lucky to be married by best friend and the best guy ever!!
Other than that, we have just been enjoying this beautiful fall weather. We still try to get the babies out almost everyday because we know winter will be here soon. JP plays his last soccer games of the fall on Saturday and they are expecting the weather to start gettting colder. Denver typically has its 1st snowfall sometime in October, so we trying to prepare ourselves. Luckily, we still have enough sunny days even during the winter that I am hoping we can bundle the kids up and get them out often.

This is a picture of the kids just down our alley and on the corners. There are over 30 in the picture and not everyone was there!
