What haaaaaaaave we been up to?

I'm not really sure I have an answer to that question. There has not really been anything notable going on in the Mellen home in this last little while. Chad has been working very looooong days and I have been working even longer days. Our little Cole has decided that it is no longer to his benefit to sleep through the night. A few weekends ago, we took the dogs to the annual pet fair at Reid Park. Taking both dogs anywhere is always an adventure. It doesn't happen very often, needless to say.

Last weekend, I took the boys to Phoenix for the weekend to spend time with Shelli and David while Chad worked all weekend. It was a much needed break for me. Thanks Shelli and David for a mini-vacation. The boys are growing fast. Cole is now big enough to take baths with Grant. The babytub we have turns into a chair so Cole can sit in with Grant. Grant likes to take baths with Cole but usually after a little bit of time asks for him to get out so he can swim in the tub. I usually just take him out of the chair and hold him up in the tub. Cole loves the big bath. He loves to splash the water and play with the toys.

We are looking forward to Oma's visit this coming weekend.

Here are those pictures you requested Kitty.
