Memorial Day

Every year we go to the family ranch in Nebraska for Memorial Day, so the boys had their second big trip last weekend, and it was wonderful!  They are so good, and so adaptable!  They slept on a twin bed that was pushed against the wall with chairs lined up on one side and pillows on all sides, and all together for the first time since New Years... and they slept!  How cute are they?!?!  Collin is in ducks, Ryan in zoo animals, and Evan in polka dots.
Where they started (sort of, Ryan already flipped 180)...
Where they were an hour later!

Here is what else happened while we were there... Ryan and Collin can both sit by themselves!  We still have to be careful where they are, because they can fall back or topple still, but they can last for a long time.  Ryan is a little better than Collin, and Evan still wobbles but is close.  Also, Ryan got his second tooth and Evan got his first on the way there!  Collin got his first one last week after we got back, Evan now has two, and Collin will probably get his second one soon too.  With the wonderful weather and the cemetery duties the boys spent a lot of time outside, and they loved it!

And we had to take the traditional "baby on the bear" pictures...

They wanted nothing to do with her!  They all look a little worried...

The couch is more their style!
We can't wait to go back...

And just in case you were wondering, this is how we roll... We're great travelers!  And they can eat our bottles while driving.  We stopped around 12 and 4 to change diapers (when we would normally), and convenient times to grab food/gas, and then got them set up with their bottles.
Such good boys!  They better get used to traveling by car, we won't be buying 5 plane tickets any time soon :)

    Oh my gosh-- Caroline, I just LOVE them. All their little personalities are really starting to show in these pictures that you post. Ryan looks like a mini-Sean to me.

    You and Stephanie look so cute in that picture with the babes on the blanket between you. (I'll bet she's a killer aunt!)

    Thanks! We're pretty blessed :) I can't believe how much they have changed, I looked back at some Christmas photos and I barely recognize them!

    They look so relaxed! What a great way to travel. My name is Abigail Pogrebin; I'm an identical twin and former 60 Minutes producer who just published a book about twins called "One and the Same." I think any parent of twins or multiples will find much to chew on and maybe some guidance as to how to dodge pitfalls of doubleness. I'd love to speak to you about the possibility of a book review and/or author Q&A. My email is apogrebin@gmail.com, website:www.abigailpogrebin.com.
