Vacation

We're back from our first O'Connell family vacation - a week down in Falmouth (390 Marivista Ave to be exact) which was SO SO much fun!! We had a blast. We packed our minivan to the brim - I mean to the BRIM, everytime one of the boys moved - you could hear a back of chips russle or a baby toy sound off from being so on top of everything. 3 pack and plays, 3 booster seats, a triple jogger stroller, a BJ's run worth of food, a cooler, a beach caddy, beach toys, baby toys - we jammed it all into the Odessey and made it. We were down there with Mark, Moe, Sean, Lissa & all 9 of our kids in one house. Allie came down for a couple nights, Ry for a couple hours and my parents came to Old Silver for one of the beach days.

Lov'in the outdoor shower!

On the brink of potty training interest!!!???

The boys and I were outside in the baby pool, shirts on with not diapers (they'll love hearing that one day -- for some reason my boys never have pants on). Jared starting peeing and couldn't stop staring at himself, he thought it was amazing:) He kept saying "again, again mommy - please" as if I could miraculously make him need to go the bathroom again. Hopefully this has triggered something to make him aware that he can do this on his own...we shall see, this may be wishful thinking but it cracked me up none the less.

## We swam today in a big pool...at Kerri's parents house. Liam and Jared are loving it. Nolan, we will get there. Love you! PS. Daddy put you babes to bed tonight while I was at the gym. When I got home he kept saying, "they are just so beautiful and such good boys". He was so proud & we are thrilled all three of you are ours.
