Hi everyone! We've been having a fun summer so far. It's hot here, but I mainly stay in doors if I can help it. Chris loves the heat and goes out all the time. Last weekend we went to a barbecue at our friends Jen and Janine's--they have twinnie girls the same age as our little guys. They had yummy salmon, chicken, pasta salad, and fruit. The boys had a great time playing with the other kids there. They also loved the salmon.

I spent this past week working in Northern Arizona. I visited the libraries in Page, Flagstaff, Cave Creek, Prescott, Cottonwood, and Sedona. It's beautiful up that way, and thankfully, much cooler!

Yesterday we took the boys to the mall in Chandler; it has a great kids play area, and the little guys had fun walking around, playing with the toys, and watching all the other kids. It was a bit of a mad-house, with lots and lots of kids, so some day we'll have to try to go back when it's not so busy.

We got the boys their own little wooden high chairs that scoot right up to the table. They've been having fun eating from their own plates and feeding themselves. I still have to feed them anything that needs a spoon, but they much prefer being able to eat finger-foods. They eat a lot of fruit--blueberries, cut-up grapes, bananas, oranges--turkey hot dogs, ground turkey, chicken, whole wheat bread and bagels, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, corn, cheerios--I can't think of anything that they don't like. They're good eaters!

I'm in town for work this week, and next week we'll head to San Diego for work and play and family. We're looking forward to that.

TTFN! Love, j&c, m&t
