New Life, New Skills

 It was another busy week (will it ever not be?!?!).  The major highlight of the week was that on Thursday we welcomed two new family members.  Jeremy's brother, Garret, and his wife, Breanna, had twin baby girls.  They are absolutely perfect.  Audrey Carolyn and Monroe (Rori) Carrie were both well over 6 lbs and didn't require any time in the NICU.  We are already obsessed and can't wait to meet them in person.




Back at home, this weekend was all about baseball.  Merrick's team had a rough weekend and got knocked around pretty good.  They ended up getting knocked out of the tournament fairly early this morning.  The only bright spot is that Merrick had a great weekend at the plate.  He even laid down his first successful bunt, something that has alluded him this far in the season.



While Merrick's weekend didn't go the way he wanted, Elsie had a banner weekend.  While Merrick warmed up for his first game, we took advantage of an empty field and taught her how to ride her bike without training wheels.  She has been a pro at her balance bike for a while so it shouldn't have surprised me how quickly she picked it up, but it did.  It took about 5 minutes and she was off and riding on her own.  She still needs just a little help when starting, but she's even getting close on that.  I feel like these big milestones with her are just flying by.
