Bobfest

This weekend we went to the annual "Bobfest" in China, ME! I think this is the 13th year in the running. It began with a bunch of college fraternity brothers, then morphed into the guys and their "girlfriends"...then into the guys with their wives...and now it's a kids festival! As always, we had a blast and it was great seeing everyone and getting all the kids together. Max and Mason stayed with us until about 5pm and then lucky for us Ray's parents live about 15 minutes down the road so we dropped the kids off for the night which allowed us to consume some much needed adult beverages and take off the parenting hats for a night! :)

With kids...

AND THEN...after we dropped the kids off...we'll leave it with this photo...

In other news:

Mason went to his 4 month appointment last Wednesday and endured 4 shots :(

17lbs 6oz (93 percentile)

28 1/4 inches long (103+ percentile)

He's going to be HUGE! Max has always been a BIG boy but when he was 4 months he was 16lbs. 5oz and 26 1/2 inches long. Mason's got almost 2 inches on him!!

Here are both of the boys 4 months pictures! Kind of neat to see how much they are alike and different at the same time. Max was a CHUB-A-DUB and Mason is much longer and slimmer...

Today is our 6th Anniversary (how time flies!) We woke up early, even though we had no kids but were in a tent (and feeling a bit fuzzy for the nights festivities), had a quick breakfast and headed to Ray's parents to see the boys. Due to the fact that daycare is closed this week Ray & Di are watching the boys tomorrow. (my mom is watching them Tuesday - Thursday and Ray is taking Friday off for a "day with the boys") Originally we were going to take them home with us today and then meet halfway tomorrow morning but it made more sense to just keep them there to avoid the unecessary travel. I haven't been away from either of them for 2 nights - it's tough - I'm not good at being away from them for long, I'll admit it! But luckily we got to spend 3-4 hours with them today and then talked via webcam toinght so I'm okay.

Ray and I got home at about 2:30 this afternoon in hopes to get a few things done around the house without the boys (mow the lawn and clean the house a bit) and then head out to a nice dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Well not so much....we got home and took a nap until 5:15!! It was awesome!!!!!! I haven't napped like that for years! Than when we woke up we looked at each other and said "pizza?" - so we ordered pizza and watched a movie! So our plan of having a productive day flopped but it was such a great, relaxing afternoon! A nap, pizza and a movie...what more can you ask for? We throughly enjoyed it!

So our summer is NUTS! We're booked solid for the next two months - literally we don't have a free weekend until AFTER Labor Day!! Lots of fun stuff though! Next weekend we're off to Boston and Rhode Island for a mini Tweedy family reunion. The next weekend it's camping in NH with the Lewis side of the family.
