Happy Un-Birthdays, Babies!

The squad has made it to their 6-month birthdays and it really seems like time has flown. We attended a lot of different events over the weekend, and the babies did very well out of their normal comfort zone.

Friday night Moni's friends Melody and Vanessa came to see the babies. We put them to work and they helped us feed them and load them into the van. Moni had to go to work so it was the kids and me on our own. We decided to hit up Katie Mohr's graduation party over at Nick and Paula Duling's house. The party started at 8, but we were there promptly at 7:30. Nobody was there and we were starting to think everyone was playing a dirty joke. We learned that only Nick and Paula can throw a party and be late for it. They weren't actually late, they just weren't the first people to arrive. The kids had a great time meeting everybody there and were very good with being held and passed around. Pius reminded us all that it was time to eat around 8:30, so our night of heavy partying came abruptly to an end. The kids and I went home, ate, and fell asleep around 10:30.

Saturday morning the kids and I woke up around 6:45. We ate our breakfast and went to Grandma Vicki and Grandpa Stubby's house so that Moni could sleep in a quiet house after a long night of work. We met some of the Tower Lakes gang and ate lunch over there, then we went home to take a nap before our evening at the Riverfest. After the babies woke up, we fed them and headed downtown. We went to the Wagonmaster's dinner and the babies got to meet a lot of the Riverfest crew. We fed them dinner, they got a beautiful serenade from a 3-year old that was passing by, and we decided we were going to spend the night with Stubby and Vicki. The sleepover went pretty well and the kids did a decent job of sleeping somewhere other than their own cribs.

On Sunday, the seventh day, the squad saw it's work and saw that it was good and rested.

Monday, after I got off work, we went to Moni's sister's house to celebrate our Goddaughter Madison's birthday. It is the first time that the quads got to meet their Haag first cousins without a door in between them. It was quite the house full with Nicole, Lauren, Tate, Abbi, Madison, Bailey, and Mia, the only Haag grandkid missing was Ronin. The kids did very well again with the crowd, but once again they reminded us when it was time to eat so we had to head home.

As you all can see we had a busy weekend. Moni and I realized that this was one of the most boring posts we have done thus far. We were halfway through when it hit us, and we didn't want to throw away all of the boring work we had done. We apologize, and hopefully with the babies' doctor appointment on Thursday we will have something more entertaining to report.

If you are still reading this post, and haven't fallen asleep yet, we would still like to hear from everybody who is planning on attending their party on the 14th of June.
