New Purchases

Rise and Shine!

New Rocking Chair!

Bumbo Chairs-one of our favorites!!

We had a very nice, yet busy, weekend. We are enjoying several new purchases with the boys. First of all, we got Bumbo Chairs. Initially, we only bought one because it is not always necessary to have two of everything. In this case, however, I would go with two! They love the chairs and it is so much easier to interact with them while they are sitting in the chairs. Secondly, we are enjoying our rocking chair that was a gift from Grandpa and Grandma Carrithers. John rocks the boys for a little while after the 3:00 am feeding before putting them to bed. The chair is nice and big to allow for us to read books to the boys as they get older. Lastly, we made the plunge and purchased a minivan over the weekend. I was always against having a minivan and really still don't like them that much, but it certainly serves its purpose. We were really limited with our other two cars. The carseats did not fit in the Honda Civic and they barely fit in the Jeep. They were also very difficult to lift into the Jeep, did not allow for passengers other than the four of us, and John could hardly fit in the drivers seat because it had to be moved up to allow for the carseats. As has been the theme for us so far in several areas, either car might have worked a little longer with one baby, but they were very limited with two. Two babies add a level of complexity that we are learning to appreciate and would not change for a second especially when we see how the boys interact with each other.
