So, little Lauren spent the weekend being loved and doted on by Grandmommy and Grandaddy! She had a wonderful time, as you can see....<br />

Ha!<br />
<br />
Seriously, we received a text with a fabulous picture of her happy and smiling, but it was too grainy and blurry to use. Honestly - she had a great time, ate and slept like a champ, and hardly missed the rest of us at all!<br />
<br />
After a teary separation by all of us, we headed to the twins' school with Chick-Fil-A in hand and enjoyed a special lunch....<br />

....before checking them out and heading to Hot Springs, NC to join forces with our experienced camping guru besties, the Hollmeyers.<br />
<br />
It was still around 75 degrees up at the campsite, so Ella and Aidan opted to remain in their uniforms until bedtime. After everything was set up, it was time to relax.....<br />

I cannot say enough about how gorgeous this spot was....from the amazing color still on the trees to the rushing water from the river.....it was perfection in every form.<br />
<br />
While Rich and Teresa spent the night in their tent, we had the four kids in their pop-up camper. Unbelievably, everyone slept until after 8 AM the next morning!<br />
<br />
The weather was beginning to get a bit chillier, and rain was predicted, so we took a little time for an impromptu photo-op amongst the leaves....<br />

We took a nice long walk into town, followed by lunch, more hiking and bike rides, and finally the much anticipated trip to the hot springs for a long soak in a private hot tub overlooking the river....<br />

.....it was off to walk though the haunted trail. Yep, this was a parenting mistake.<br />
<br />
We made it all of 20 feet inside the walk before all four kids were done and scared beyond belief. Though, they have all joked and talked about it ever since.<br />
<br />
We did; however, invent some spooky last minute costumes to trick or treat in for our neighboring campers....<br />

I have to say that my first experience with camping was simply fabulous! I loved it, Mike loved it (though he is an experienced camper having hiked the entire Appalachian Trail), the kids loved it, and<br />
we cannot wait to do it again!<br />

<br />
It was a beautiful, yet not at all fall-like, day of 80 degrees and as the German, French, Chinese and Japanese kindergarten classes all took to the tracks....<br />

<br />
I am beyond exhausted, but still determined to squeeze in bits and pieces of family fun whenever possible.<br />
<br />
Yesteday I had two sessions in the morning and two sessions in the evening, but was free around lunchtime. So, we packed up and headed to another pumpkin patch for some seasonal fun!<br />
<br />
The kids loved playing in the pumpkin patch....<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Ella and Aidan were born back in 2007, I discovered <b>Tiny Prints </b>when searching for the perfect Birth Announcements. The price was right and the options seemed neverending - they even had a selection of ones specially designed for twins!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since then, I have been back time and time again for all sorts of cards - and, of course, I am back again this year (I am not going to tell you which one - you will have to see that when it arrives in your mailbox!)!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not kidding when I say that the options are neverending - just take a moment and spend some time browsing through all of the different styles and colors. From round to square, from one photo to 3+ photos, <b>Tiny Prints</b> has it all. And to top it all off, most designs feature the added benefit of coordinating address labels!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you happen to be looking for a little something extra, <b>Tiny Prints</b> also offers a wide assortment of photo gifts. My personal favorite is the photo book, but after perusing the other options, I am more than excited to create a few more items to stuff under the tree this year!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
They had a fabulous time, though I cannot help but think that they seem a little too mature for the Disney stuff these days. Honestly, they were a little bored at times as opposed to being mesmerized or captivated by the whole thing.<br />
<br />
We let them choose our dinner location before the show, and they opted for their all-time favorite restaurant, PF Changs (they both LOVE their low mein noodles!).<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Needless to say, it was several weeks ago that we made our first visit of the season to a local pumpkin patch and the kiddos had a blast! I managed to pair it with a Halloween themed photo shoot for Multiplicity magazine, which Ella and Aidan just happen to be the cover models for this issue (I took this picture of them last fall over Thanksgiving weekend - it is blurry because it is a screen shot from magazine's webpage)!</div>

<br />
<b>Weight:</b> 24 pounds, 4.5 ounces<br />
<b>Height:</b> 30 1/2 inches<br />
<br />
She really did great at the appointment, but has a bad case of table anxiety. By that I mean that she refused to have anything to do with the exam table...did not even want to sit down on it at all! It made for an interesting visit, that is for sure, as most everything was done in my lap!<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, we have one happy little bugger!<br />
<br />
While she despised the table, she did feel just fine making herself at home exploring the room....<br />

<br />
Today, they are known as the Fresh Beat Band and they have their own show on Nickelodeon. I do actually have to admit that it is a bit of a family favorite, and both Mike and I know all of the words to all of the songs - just like the twins!<br />
<br />
So, last night while our beloved Mrs. Paula stayed with Lauren, we took Ella and Aidan on a date to see them live in concert. Simply put - it was so much fun!<br />
<br />
After a quick dinner we headed out to the ampitheater....<br />

This was our third annual trip, and we once again had an amazing time!<br />
<br />
After a nice quiet 2 hour ride up - Lauren had her morning nap, the twins watched a video, I read a book on my iPad, and Mike drove (he LOVES to drive in complete silence)....<br />

....we capped off the day with a wagon ride. No apple cider donuts for us this year. Now that we are bound by the twins' school schdedule, we are forced to come to places like this on weekends as opposed to in the middle of the week. That being said, we waited in line for nearly 2 hours and were no closer to the front of the line...and gave up due to a restless little munchkin who was in dire need of an afternoon nap!Jennifer Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11960455495923383654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834926361574172264.post-61871329107051864912012-09-21T13:28:00.001-04:002012-09-21T13:28:50.545-04:00Otherwise EntertainedWhile our first born little lady is doing this each Thursday afternoon....<br />

The aftermath and craziness of getting home after 5:30, dinner prep, baths and books is not something anyone in their right mind would willingly like to participate in, but the reward of three children falling asleep within minutes of their little heads hitting the pillows is priceless!Jennifer Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11960455495923383654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834926361574172264.post-38733738149330315882012-09-19T02:20:00.000-04:002012-09-19T02:20:00.722-04:00Wordless Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have to get creative sometimes at scheduling family time, especially with my now booming business! Typically, if Mike is home, I am not as I am out with other families behind my camera lens.<br />
<br />
We try to have movie or game nights whenever possible, and last night was a perfect night!<br />
<br />
I think that Ella and Aidan loved the flour even more than the actual pizza, or the movie selection (The Lorax).<br />

I must admit that I am sad that the timing of our fun had to happen after Lauren was in bed, but Mike didn't get home from work until almost 7 PM, and the poor baby just could not stay awake any longer. Sometime soon we will get her in on the action!<br />

Really, I knew in my heart that it was just a pipe dream....but I really did believe it would be just a bit longer before my firstborn asked for this....<br />

<br />
Ella has been asking (i.e. begging) for months to get her ears pierced. I have not been too keen on it and I remember it being a really big deal for me when I had it done (though admittedly, I cannot remember how old I was when my mom finally gave in).<br />
<br />
"But Mom, Avery has her ears pierced"<br />
<br />
"But Mom, dont you want me to be even prettier than I am now?"<br />
<br />
"But Mom, I want to wear jewels in my ears like you do!"<br />
<br />
So today on a random trip to the mall for nothing even remotely related to ears.....I caved.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it was the presence and nonchalant reaction of my husband to her repeated requests. Perhaps it was because it was the end of the day and I am extremely under the weather and barely functional that dulled my wits. Perhaps it was the restless baby and hyper twin brother dancing around that made me lose focus just long enough to let the word "Ok" slip from my mouth.<br />
<br />
Or perhaps it was just that I decided that if she is ready, then I am ready.<br />
<br />
She hopped up in the chair in her sweet school uniform and end of the day straggly hair with a huge grin, hugging the teddy bear and clutching her "post piercing" lollipop tight....<br />

...my baby girl's eyes became as round as saucers and a brief look of panic came across her face. I hugged her so tight and praised her over and over, fearful that she would suddenly want to undo what cannot be undone.<br />
<br />
She never shed a single tear, just clung to me, no more need for the bear for encouragement, asking if she was brave, and how did it look.<br />

I was the one with tears, not Ella.Jennifer Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11960455495923383654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834926361574172264.post-564502978560834482012-09-07T09:48:00.000-04:002012-09-07T09:49:20.304-04:00It's Official - I am a Mom!I knew that the twins starting kindergarten was the end of one era and the beginning of another for them.<br />
<br />
Left behind are the days of pure childhood innocence - the sweetness of preschool and the relaxed schedule without homework and the freedom to take vacations whenever we chose.<br />
<br />
Here today are the 6:30 AM wakeups to rush out the door to make either carpool or the bus, the afternoon rush to after school activities, tardy bells and abiding by the school calendar for dates that we now must plan our vacations around.<br />
<br />
I knew all of this going in to it last week.<br />
<br />
What I did <b>not</b> know, and was not prepared for, was the overwhelming emotions I would feel with the first assignment brought home by the kids for my signature.<br />
<br />
So strange that such a small detail would push me over the edge. It wasn't the insane amount of school supplies we had to purchase (over $200) or the uniform requirement (which I LOVE!). It wasn't even the first day jitters and tears from the kiddos, or watching them walk away from my van during carpool or hopping off the bus in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
It was two simple pieces of paper that smacked me in the face with reality.<br />
<br />
My babies are growing up and in real school now with real homework and real grades. This is it - the journey to college and adulthood begins now. I know that sounds extreme, and to a degree, it is. But when I think of the bigger picture, the structure for good learning / study habits are set in these early years.<br />
<br />
The kids were both so very proud of their very first graded assignment...<br />
