What does Aubie say?

Gammy and Dandy are just trying to prepare the girls for football season. Leah actually performed. :)

Canon in D

The other day I laid Leah down for her nap and accidentally hit the button on her crib aquarium that changed her music. Normally it is on Canon in D but it changed to Twinkle Twinkle. Leah urgently started telling me NO NO NO, and i realized she was mad the music changed. So I kept changing it until it was back to Canon and she laid down satisfied.

Tonight Matt put her to bed and accidentally hit the button again. She told him Uh Oh! and stood up, pressed the top button (one of 4 total buttons) and flipped through the 10 other songs quickly until she found Canon in D again. Then she laid back down.

I just thought this was crazy! I did not even know that she knew what button to push, and the fact that she recognized the first half second of each song to know it wasnt what she wanted impresses me. Apparently she has very particular taste in music!

Loving sisters

Sorry for the girls nakedness - no real need for swimsuits while swimming in Papa's jacuzzi.

check out the loving sisters at the 40 second mark. This is constant...

Ring Around the Rosy

cute video of the girls playing ring around the rosy, then telling the dogs to shush at the end...

Pudding Painting

I am always looking for little things to do with the girls that will pass the time joyously. So one evening I made some vanilla pudding and dyed it blue, red, and yellow. The girls have not really painted so I was interested in what they would think/do.

I tried to prepare by putting on of Matts old shirts on them and laid out a blanket. Needless to say we still had pudding everywhere, but they had fun!

It took Leah a really long time to realize the paint was edible. And it was all over for her when she did! Hannah never cared too much about eating the pudding since that would make her messy, and she was very intent on her painting.

Baby Colin is here!

The newest member of the McCay clan, Colin Joseph, arrived June 10th at 7:08pm. He was a WHOPPING 9lbs 14oz (poor Katy!!!) and came just one day before his due date. He is precious and we are so excited for Jason and Katy. They are now a family of 5. Props to you Katy! You truly are supermom!!

Disney World 2009 part 3 - the rest

As always we enjoyed some wonderful food in Disney World. My favorite was Le Celier in Epcot and I do not think I have seen the girls ever eat better. We did not do any more character meals given how the breakfast went, but we ate very well.

Here are some random restaurant pics. It was dry in the restaurants so we could bring the camera out!

We did get to enjoy the light parade as well, but the dancers could not perform because of the rain (shocker). Both girls were enthralled and covered in stickiness from a sucker. And of course they got a light toy for the parade.

As much as Hannah and Leah enjoyed the parks, their favorite was the water park which we FINALLY got to the day before we left. And it was sunny!! Hannah amazed me by going down a pretty big slide (until the final time when she turned the wrong way and that was it).

Hannah wanted to go down this little innertube slide but I think she had second thoughts on the way down. There was no emotion as she rode. She just laid there. She chose ot to ride again but it was funny to us.



Leah needed some Gammy time so we took Hannah to the lazy river and let Leah play in the sand. She was concentrating so hard!


This may have been their favorite part of the trip. (Well its a toss up between this and stepping on and off the curbs of the sidewalks - hey, its why we went to Disney right?)

Yes Hannah is a bit OCD and does not like to get messy and hates spills. She gets very worried.

We really had a great trip in spite of the 16 inches of rain Orlando got while we were there. We cannot wait to go back in 2010!
