Last week

Mario finished up his last week of work on his project in Detroit. So here are a few picture of him haning out with his boys and Little Pete on Friday. They were all reading these car brochures that Mario picked up. Joey was looking at the brochure as well, but this picture looked cute.

Joey gets so proud of himself when he sits up.

Joey really likes his dad!

Saturday night, Mario and I went to a Sports Fiesta (an office dinner at a partner's house). Before dinner, Mario played in the basketball and volleyball tournaments while I stayed home and prepared things for our babysitter. She's watched MJ many times before (and has a little brother who is 6 months old). So, we thought we'd see if she could watch both of them. This was our first time leaving both of them awake with 1 babysitter (other times there was more than 1 person around to watch both of them, or we'd split them up and just leave MJ with the sitter). Anyway, she did a great job and we had a great time at the dinner. There was a margarita machine (yum!) It's always nice to return to a clean house and sleeping kids.
Monday night Mario and I went to see Transformers. The plan was for Mario to go see it on July 4th (when we thought it opened) while I watched the kids, and then he'd let me go out at night to see fireworks in downtown DC while he watched the kids. Turns out, it opened sooner than we thought. So we called our babysitter Monday afternoon, she was free, and came over that night. We had a good movie date... hmmmm...is that our first movie since Joey? It might be... well, it was fun.

2 weeks ago

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted. It's hard to remember what has happened in the last few weeks. Here are a few pictures from 2 weeks ago. Joey still likes his jumperoo (very appropriate for a kid with his nickname). And MJ tried
Tony and MJ did a craft on a rainy day. Tony was definitely a bit more coordinated.
Joey still likes to roll over. But his more favorite task is scooting around and trying to pull the gym arches down.
MJ tried to help me with the dishes by putting the silverwear away. He was pretty good at it at first, but that didn' t last long. He's better at sweeping.
