130 + 34 Weeks

It has been a good week, with a visit from Uncle Sting, down for Australia Day, which included a family lunch at my parents' house.  We made a trip to the beach for a walk (Arley's first walk on the beach), after which Carmen threw the biggest tantrum ever, accompanied by a major meltdown of my own :)  Arley spent a day at his Lolo and Dida's house so I could get some painting done.  The kids also spent Saturday night there, so that Jeffrey and I could have a night out.  We went to a Cat Power concert, and we were SO excited to go.  However, the concert was worse than a disappointment - Cat Power was on some kind of drug, and couldn't remember her songs, she couldn't finish her songs, and she was rambling on about nothing for half of the night!  We were so bummed!

Arley is moving around a lot.  He can kind of crawl backwards, and he can swivel himself around.  He is doing two long naps a day, and he seems really hungry all of the time.  He is making a few new sounds too, and he ate pasta for the first time tonight.  Carmie is doing well at school.  On Tuesday she wore her kangaroo tail to school, and apparently half of the kids were jumping around like kangaroos for the day.  Today she wore her witch's hat to school, and this was another hit.  She can be very cute some times :)

Here are some videos from this week:
