Week: 6/19-6/25

6/19 - Happy Father's Day to my amazing husband and the father of my two precious girls. It was a very relaxing day around the Maxwell house. We finally bought a new umbrella for our patio and enjoyed dinner on the back deck. Our friendly neighborhood deer even showed up to say hello in the pasture behind our house.

6/20 - Just another day hanging out at the house. Since it was starting to storm when Mardell got home from work we couldn't sit on the front porch but did the next best thing - hung out in the office/craft room with the window open. Malia, McKenna, Mya and Ellie slept in the room with us while we listened to the rain and had Pandora playing Brandon Heath. All-in-all it was a close to perfect night. Mardell was able to get some school work done and I was able to finish my latest craft {post}.

6/21 - One of the girls that will be watching Malia and McKenna in the fall was in town and was kind enough to come stay with the girls for a few hours. While I had some free time on my hands Mardell and I enjoyed lunch during his break and then I ran a few errands. I was amazed how much faster it was for me to do the simplest things without having to constantly pull out the stroller and load up the girls. After Sarah left McKenna and Malia had their TWO MONTH check up! Where has the time gone? They are both growing and Malia is finally catching up to McKenna.
Malia: 9 lb 2 oz
McKenna: 9 lb 10 oz

6/22 - Nana, Papa, Dava, Dusty, Charlie and Emma all came to town. We had a delicious dinner together and Charlie had fun holding his cousins and playing with Uncle Mardee. Emma did a great job at showing us how much we will need to do in order to child-proof our home for the future! :) Uncle Nick came by to visit.
6/23 - Aunt Jenn was in town and came by to see McKenna and Malia. It was great getting to catch up with her and hear all about her exciting summer. She has a very exciting adventure in store for herself next year but it will still be sad not seeing her almost every day! Most people meet up and chat over coffee but luckily she was fine substituting coffee for a couple of baby bottles :)

After she left I put the girls in their car seats and we headed off to one of Mardell's favorite stores - Menards! We had a fun family outing and actually made it home without anything for the basement.

6/24 - Movie night! Nana gave Mardell and I a night out as a graduation gift. It was great getting to enjoy a movie without constantly having to hit pause and/or rewind!

6/25 - Great Grandma Lydia and Great Great Aunt Marie were in Wichita for a wedding and stopped by our house to visit the girls. Marie was very excited to finally get to meet McKenna and Malia! After they left Mardell and I gave the girls their baths {they LOVE baths} and got them ready for bed.
