Last night we went to a family BBQ at the assisted living home where Marcel lives. I have to admit I was not excited about it but knew it was something I had to do. I was very grateful that Andy came home from work a bit early to go with us!
It ended up being a good time. Marc was in a good mood, they had face painting, balloon animals, food (ack!), and Eddie the entertainer who traveled with Kool and the Gang for 2 years! I loved the music. It reminded me of the music we listened to growing up with our dad. Lilly and Ella had a ball dancing and all the residents enjoyed watching them.
Lilly has always been afraid of having her face painted. Last night she had her very first face painting. She loves unicorns so much and was thrilled that Miss Rainbow was able to draw one. I was totally impressed!

She also did sparkly butterfly tattoos. Lilly was in Heaven.
When we got home, Lilly and Andy went to BJ's together and came home with a new table and chairs for the girls. Lilly had one she loved but it faded and broke over the years. The girls enjoyed breakfast at their new table.
Ella has another cold. Otherwise she's doing great. She is so darn sweet and loving. Tomorrow I have an ob appointment with the midwife who delivered her. I plan to take a picture of Ella to give her and thank her for helping me get through a drug-free delivery. It was a miracle she arrived to deliver Ella as she was the calmest soul and I am sure it was the only reason I made it through.
The boys are growing. Tomorrow I will find out exactly how big they are as I start getting separate growth scans in addition to my routine appointments. Each baby has his own appointment time tomorrow. I thought that was cute. I am 26 weeks pregnant and about the same size as I was at 33 weeks pregnant with the girls. It's nuts.
Life is crazy busy and exhausting but I feel blessed every single day that I have a wonderful husband, great girls, and two boys on the way. It really doesn't get any better.
