Weeks 1-2 in Maryland

The day before Logan, Taylor, my dad and I started driving to Utah, Billy surprised us by making the drive from Tulsa, OK, to Des Moines, IA. We were so excited to see him and impressed he made the trip to see us for less than 2 days. That's my definition of love right there.
Since we've been in Maryland, we have been playing hard. There is never a dull moment at my parents'. The house is so big that there is always something to get into. And the yard is so full of grass, flowers, and squirrels that there is always something to look at, chase, or eat.
Although you won't find any plants here, or anywhere else in the house. My parents totally thought they had baby-proofed their house... Hum, have you met your grandchildren? You know, the ones who get into EVERYTHING!

There used to be a plant there. Not anymore!

Of course the blinds had to get out reach, too.

And the T.V. had to get blocked off, using the coffee table.

There is plenty of room for Taylor to push Logan around, who is very relaxed.

Or for Logan to push Taylor, who is enjoying every minute of it.

Sometimes pushing the ride-on is tiring of these little guys, so mommy takes a turn pushing both of her little guys.

And when I say that they get into everything, that is very literal. Here is Taylor inside the laundry basket.

Taylor is not the only one who enjoys getting into stuff. Here is Logan inside my CD collection box.

We also like spending time outdoors. Here is Taylor helping Bonne-Maman to water the flowers.

And here is Logan helping Bonne-Maman. Well, actually, he's trying to get the water.

Every weekend, Taty Marie comes to hang out with us. She's awesome!

It's so fun to play with Tonton Fred. He's a blast!

We were fortunate enough to be around for the town's annual parade. The boys were fascinated by the trucks, sports cars, and thousands of people.

Logan and Taylor got to eat their first funnel cake.

Taylor was covered in powdered sugar.

Logan thought it was totally worth it.

Logan and Taylor could hang out in the yard and play with water all day.

We made chocolate mousse and the boys got to lick the spoon. Yum! We don't do this very often, so every chance they get is golden.

Bonne-Maman cannot get enough of her little Taylor. He loves her so much he follows her every move.

Of course she cannot get enough of her little Logan, either. He loves her to hold him wherever she goes and whatever she does.

We went to the Apples Orchard to pick apples and check out the corn field.

Logan really enjoyed eating the apples. He was so focused on finishing them that nothing else mattered.

Taylor was more focused on picking apples, biting in them a couples of times, and then throwing them on the ground.

I miss Billy and my friends in Iowa very much, but it's been really fun and relaxing to be out here with my family. Plus it's been great for Logan and Taylor to hang out with their Bonne-Maman and Bon-Papa. I wouldn't have it any other way =)
