Grandpa Reppard!

A few weeks ago Grandpa Reppard and Nonna came for a babysitting run (thank you, thank you!) and a visit! Nonna took these fun pictures of the boys with Grandpa on our porch. Grandpa won over William on this trip--they became good buddies! Thanks to Nonna and Grandpa for their help with the boys! We hope that y'all had a GREAT Anniversabirthday Trip!

Isn't Grandpa SO interesting?

Smiling William!
Smirking Hudson!

Three Reppard boys!

On the MOVE!

It is official! These boys are BUSY, and they are on the move! Most of the time, we are really enjoying them moving all around and exploring life! (I did panic on Monday when I realized how fast they both are!! Fear not--baby gates will soon be making their grand appearance in our home!) Enjoy a few pictures from our week . . .

I take the boys to the car one at a time to buckle them in, and I usually take Will first because I can see him in his seat from the front door of the house . . . this picture is of Hudson following me out the door!

Escape Artist!


Trying to hold onto, climb, and scale the banister . . .

Hudson's morning routine now includes checking up on and freeing Murphy the dog!

and william watches from his post . . .

More fun with swings! They were facing the sun and it was pretty bright out! (hence the closed eyes!)

I love this one of William!

My view from the stroller . . .

Waiting for Daddy!

When 6pm rolls around, Hudson, William, and I are all excitedly awaiting the arrival of Daddy!! We all LOVE IT when he comes home for the day! (And, Fridays are especially fun when he's home for the whole weekend!) Here are a few pictures of the boys waiting for their dad . . .

Waiting . . . and escaping

And, he arrives! Fun times with Daddy!

I love this sweet profile!

And . . . one random one from two weekends ago of the boys looking at the peacock at the petting zoo (where we did not pet any animals, fear not!)

Beavers and Swings

Here are a few more pictures of our (awake!) little beavers. As I type this, Hudson is in his crib talking loudly and pulling up on his crib (I am certain)! He slept for 42 minutes. Gr!

Hudson

Beaver William (notice the MASSIVE chunks of crib that he has gnawed off on the left side--as far as I can tell, this damage was done in one big napless chunk of time) . . . doesn't he look proud?

This is William's "beaver face"

ah ha ha ha!! you thought we were sleeping . . . silly mommy!

The week before last, we went to swing with some friends. We had a great time!! Both Hudson and William just giggled and giggled as I pushed them!
Swinging Together!

This playground was great because it not only had two infant swings together, but it had FOUR swings!! Here is our twin crew . . . Neveah, Max, Hudson and William!

Swinging Fun!

The time formerly known as nap time . . .

Hudson and William's new skills have resulted in less time for naps and more time for fun . . . hmmm, interesting . . . somehow, I feel like we are all a little more tired as a result! Here are some of the latest rebel pictures!

William

I know this picture isn't the greatest, but please take not of the tiny bite marks on the side of the crib. It appears that a beaver has inhabited Hudson's crib . . . (a beaver has taken a chunk or five out of William's crib too . . . those pictures are soon to come!)

Sitting up to play (and, NOT nap)!

Oh Me, Oh My!

So, our boys are developing some new skills . . . I have this not-so-sneaky feeling that my life is about to change BIG TIME!

(Each video is 60 seconds--I haven't figured out how to edit them yet, so sorry about that!)

Hudson

Jet Setters!!

You heard me right! Hudson, William, Sugie, and Shannon traveled to San Fran for six days to "help" Aunt Katie and Uncle Brett get ready for baby Charlie! Our "getting ready" was supposed to include doing baby laundry, cleaning, organizing, shopping, etc. . . . and, it did . . . but, it also included a "trial by fire" with Hudson and Will waking up screaming at 4am the first night! Welcome to life with babies in the house! :) he he! We had a WONDERFUL time and LOVED being there! Here are some pictures from our travels!

Hudson and William did great on the flights! There were zero tears! It was incredible . . . and, our flight to SFO got there an hour early! (Thank you, Lord!) (it was loud by the plane, so they couldn't hear my hilarious attempt at monkey noises for this picture . . . so, no smiles!)


Arrival in SFO!


An EARLY morning wake-up with Aunt Katie (who was a huge help to me the whole week!)
Breakfast fun with bananas and Sugie, William's human high chair!

We took a trip to Santa Cruz to have lunch at Brett's cousin's house and visit with them and his mom, "ba ba." We had a great girls' (plus babies) lunch! Hudson and William wanted to get "ba ba" warmed up and ready for baby Charlie!

William and Hudson tested out Charlie's crib . . . and pack n play . . .

William was tired from playing on the bed with Sugie, so he took a little snooze
The boys took their first showers in CA! Clean baby Hudson!

We love you, Aunt Katie and Uncle Brett!! Thank you for having us! Can't wait to meet our Charlie!
