we're back....

Hi all... bobby and i are back from our mini-vacation/belated anniversary trip... we went to corpus christi and we had a blast... we left friday afternoon after we ran a few errands and got to the coast around 5pm... it really wasnt a long drive... a trip that i usually sleep through, i read through this time... we ate landry's on friday... they have the best stuffed jalapenos there.... that was the best thing i ate whole trip.. i also got some stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon, whish bobby thought was the best.. but i was hooked on a the jalapenos... saturday we went to the texas state aquarium and i got the babies some souveniers... i got the boys little stuffed sharks and a dolphin and bekah got a little stuffed penguin... (penguins were my favorite animal when i was little)... then we ate at Joe's Crab shack... it was good but not as good as landrys... (or maybe i was still thinking about those jalapenos since i could see landrys from joes where we were sitting)... we left sunday morning at check out... it was a nice relaxing time... we stayed up late watching movies, swimming, and walking on the beach... and we (or should i say bobby) slept late... i couldnt sleep late... i guess my "inner" alarm clock was still set during vacation... we had a blast.. i did think about my babies though... bobby would ask me what i was thinking about... look at my face.. see my eyes tearing up.. and he'd say "you're thinking about the babies arent you?"... of course... here is a picture of us... we were finally in our room on friday... i took one when we were in the parking lot... kind of like how we took one on our honeymoon, but the flash was wacky and it didnt turn out very good... the babies all did well with my parents... they stayed at our house... and i had no concern that they would be good or for my parents... my concern was for me missing my babies... but i had fun and am looking forward to next years trip...

bobby had off on monday too so we took the babies to the park in nb... we had our very first train ride as a family and it was the quads first train ride ever... afterwards we had a little picnic in the park and played for a little while... we had a good time.. and i think the babies did too... we finally took them to the playground part and let them play and run around after lunch.. but since it was after lunch they were ready for their nap.. so we didnt play very long...

here is evan and seth on the cunductor's seat for the train.... the conductor and the person that sold us the tickets were very nice... the conductor was the one who suggested the picture on the seat...

here is bekah and austin... i know that austin's arm is in bekah's face... but it was the only one of the two of them looking at us...

here is the conductor with the babies... this was after the ride and they were getting hungry but the conductor sat through 3 pictures like this... he was very sweet and i think this is a pretty sweet picture...

after the park... we left to get bobby and i some lunch and the babies konked out... they were exhausted... and i was too ...

here is seth... he was actually the last one to fall asleep... he was talking but when we were waiting for our food he fell asleep...

they were really out cold... my camera makes a little "ring" noise when i turn it on and that usually brings their attention to me.. but not this time...

austin... he is usually the first one asleep and the first one awake... and he held true to form this time too...

bekah... she was a little fussy before finally falling asleep... but she did sleep and isnt she just the cutest girl..

and evan... he was the second one out cold... they played hard.. had full tummys... and were ready for a good nap.. and they did...

they had fun... we had fun... it was just a fun family day... we dont get out very much as a family but when we do it is a lot of fun... im glad to be home.. back to the "daily grind" of breakfast, play lunch, nap, play, dinner, play, bath, bed, sleep.... im not sure bobby is glad to be back to work... maybe next year we can make take a longer vacation than just two nights... but the time we did have this year was perfect.. i was ready to be home but once we got back to the city limits i thought to myself we could have at least stayed another night... but it was my idea of coming back on sunday... well maybe next year... i am glad to be home though... even though i dont think that the babies missed me at all....

this is your weekly episode of "a day in the life of quads"... hope you enjoyed it... by the by... happy birthday papa.... we love you...
