2 week holiday break

All week John and I got to be together with the girls. It was the best. Sunday we all went grocery shopping together after the gym. Monday we got up early to take Camille to school (she had school and we thought we would keep things as normal as possible for her) and to take Av to hbr. Avery did great and was glad to be back. She rode Charlie. Afterwards we took her to breakfast and ran some errands. We picked Camille up from school right as she was getting ready to nap at school (it was so cute to see her all curled up on her cot) so she could instead nap in her own bed. Tuesday we cleaned cleaned cleaned. We have not done a big cleaning purge since we moved into the house (4.5 years ago). We took 2 jeep loads to Goodwill. Lots of clothes, shoes and baby toys. It feels so good to have less clutter in the house. I am going to try so hard to keep it that way. That night we went to dinner and then to the Louisville science center with the Hoekstra’s. Avery’s school won a grant from the science center and so they started having family nights once a month and so we decided to take advantage of that. John’s 3 siblings as well as Opa and Shelly went with us. It was really a good time. Camille has just learned to go down stairs on her belly so she mainly enjoyed the stairs. It’s pretty funny she sits down and gets on her belly about 10 feet from the top of the steps and slithers backwards until she hits the steps. Cute to watch. She is also obsessed with standing on things. She climbs up and then stands on EVERTHING she can but I guess that’s a topic for another post. Wednesday Camille went back to school and by then Av was dying to see a friend so we went out to see Caroline. John stayed home and cleaned some more. Thursday G&PP were there. We just hung out during the day and that night John and I went out with a bunch of friends. We had a great time. It is so nice of G&PP to come watch the girls for use every NYE!
