Getting big...

Keane and Gracie are growing so fast! Last month we were SO blessed to be able to take a wonderful family vacation before some meetings in Thailand. As we prepared to go we kept telling Keane and Gracie that they were going to get to ride on an airplane and sleep in a "big boy and girl bed". They couldn't wait and couldn't wait to go to the beach either. They kept talking and talking about it. This was the first time since Keane and Gracie were born that we didn't travel with pack and plays, baby carriers, diapers, tons or bottles and/or sippy cups, etc. We weren't sure how they would do sleeping or if they would keep up well with potty training but they did amazing with both. We were so thankful! We had so much fun together as a family. They are at such a fun age (I have enjoyed each stage so much!) and we enjoyed seeing them get so excited about the beach or ice cream. Looking forward to many, many more fun times and vacations together as a family!

Keane and Gracie got backpacks for the plane ride because they did well using the potty the week before we went. They were so excited to be able to carry their own toys and games in their bag!
Big Girl!
Sweet two! Holding daddy's hand while holding each other's hand.
Our flight from Kathmandu to Bangkok had a different plane this time that had TV's in the seats (usually this flight doesn't have TV's) and Keane and Gracie loved watching 'Toy Story' (one of their favorite movies) while eating their dinner. SO big...it feels like just yesterday (and kind of was) that I was bringing them home on this Thai flight feeding them bottle after bottle of milk!

We weren't sure what the bed situation would be at our hotel (if there would be a King or Twins for K and G, etc) but there ended up being a king or queen bed and we just moved it on the floor so they wouldn't roll off. We weren't sure how they were going to do...especially sleeping in the same bed but they did GREAT and had so much fun in their "special bed".
