Hollenbeck Happenings: What's new around here?

Time for a picture dump!

Parker has really been enjoying the extra time at Crossfit during the Open. We've spent every Friday night there the past couple of weeks and she's made a lot of friends! Here she is with Ashton.

And hanging out in front of the box with Daddy and sissy watching the big kids play.

This might be her favorite outdoor activity there. Since Mommy and Daddy put a stop to the crawling under cars idea... :P

Parker has also made big improvements at gymnastics. I think she's realized that she's now one of the older girls in the class and she's started participating more in group activities.

She's also learning really well about waiting and sitting in line.

Juliet is learning to prop her feet up while she eats. :)

I bought this bunny chair second hand for Juliet around Christmas time. She's finally ready to use it so we cleaned it up and set it in the Living Room. Parker immediately realized there was something new and asked to have her picture taken on it. She's learning to like the camera! We may be creating a monster, but I'm enjoying her excitement to smile for the camera.

She's also cooperating more with getting her hair done. She doesn't always want pigtails, but will let us put her hair back when eating either in a pony tail, headband or in this case, both!

Swinging on the rope with Coach Matt! It's hard to believe that 4 months ago she would only push the rope to make it swing and now she jumps on and drops off all on her own!

Darren and I are also working on being more social. His buddy Mike and his girlfriend came over last Saturday night and I attempted to make Pina Coladas after the kids went to sleep. They ended up looking more like drinkable mashed potatoes...

On Wednesday Darren didn't feel well, but was able to keep Juliet so for the first time in awhile Parker and I had a night to ourselves! We decided we needed ice cream. :)
