friday update:
this morning, we went to the gym and then over to safina and emery's to play for a while. all the kids played so nice together. at one point, malloy was playing with emery and rex was playing with safina. they were just being so cute! malloy was hugging emery and then kissing her. and then squeezing her cheeks really hard. rex was copying everything that safina was doing and they were giggling away together! we went outside to play for a bit and eat lunch, then it was time to go home and take a nap. it took the kids FOREVER to fall asleep!! but when they finally woke up, neal came home and then grandma tappy and grandpa gary came to visit! we went out for a nice dinner with them. malloy was amazing at dinner and ate a lot of her meal all on her own without reminders to take a bite. i was so proud of her! rex was hilarious - he had us all laughing with his facial expressions and mannerisms! he was also playing a game with the bus boy - every time the guy would be within 5 feet of our table rex would scowl at him until he moved away. it was too funny. rex's new favorite expression is definitely the scowl!! after dinner we went out for ice cream. the kids tried their first rice pudding. malloy loved it, rex did not. then it was time to run around the yard for a bit before bedtime.

pancakes and nutella for breakfast!
