A visitor and some news about Parker

We had our first visitor from family, Tory's brother came through on his way to Guam and spent a couple days with us. He is currently in first place for favorite uncle in Parker and Penelope's eyes. They loved having him here because he would jump on the trampoline with them (the twins are pretty easy to please).

Oliver, on the other hand, burst into tears when Trigg got in the car the first time (Ollie's a little afraid of strangers.....well pretty much everyone but his mom and sometimes his dad). Luckily he calmed down pretty quickly and was even giggling with Uncle Trigg by the end of the night. We loved having Trigg here and it made us miss the rest of our family so come visit!!

In other news....Parker finally went in the ocean on his own accord (Tory had tried the tough approach to get him in ocean which didn't work). But last weekend we were at the beach and Tory and Penelope were down playing in the water and I was hanging out with Parker and Oliver in the sand when Parker made his way down the the water. He took his dad's hand and waded into the ocean, we were so excited he conquered his fear!!
