It's Time for the Percolator

With Alexi grappling a fever, we decided to keep a low profile this past week.  I wish we took video over the last weekend, we went mattress shopping and the kids were all over the place - jumping from bed to bed, hiding under the mattresses, it was crazy.  I was fine, I was testing mattresses.  Aside from that we had a pretty relaxing week, nothing too crazy, outside of the usual errands.  Not too many pictures, bare minimum documenting(as far as I'm concerned).

Austin didn't have school this week due to Parent-Teacher conferences.  Funny story, here.   "He's always smiling and very playful", his teacher said.  We were not surprised.  "He listens and puts away the toys."  Huh????  Austin????  Our Austin?!?!?!  Mommy and Daddy were floored after that one....  After all was said and done, it was a good meeting and everyone was pleased with school-boy Austin.  Next year, he'll be there for 3-days-a-week and the school will also have Princess Ava for two-days.  They have NO idea...

We've introduced Ava to the classics.

At Target, lunchin'


Ava couldn't find the paper.
See you next week......

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day Friend and Family!!!!  Our little Cupids keep the love alive and are always in our hearts.  We love them so.

Austin made this Valentine's Day card in school for his Mommy and Daddy.  His teacher called it a Happy Heart.
I have no idea how Mommy and Picture People pulled this off.
Mommy didn't see this go down, as she was chasing Alexi and Ava.
Yeah, this is Alexi's true nature. 
Ava was very happy to take a picture for Daddy.

Freezing weather, Faster Aggies

Frigid weather couldn't keep the kids indoors this past week.  Lola and Ava did some "Pashal Pashal" at Oak Brook; lunchdate with Chloe, and the boys got some training time. 

If Alexi doesn't eat, Austin and Ava will sing to him.  It doesn't always help, but its entertaining.
I'm so glad they were hanging out in the $1 section
I guess Ava really, really, really, really likes Chloe


Adorable!!!
Dr. Manang Ava - we could really get used to this


Yeah, so, sorry if these pictures were from behind Lola and Ava.  I couldn't keep up with these two at Oak Brook Mall.


I was fine with just browsing at the Disney store.  Lola and Ava thought different.
Thank you Lola!!!

Gotta refuel after stairs-workout
Stay Puft Marshmallow Alexi

Alexi and Austin were waiting for their turn at-bat
