We took the kids for a lovely holiday getaway to San Antonio. The twins are now old enough that I don't dread car rides and Sylvia enjoys entertaining Oscar, so being strapped into a chair for hours on end is almost pleasant, even.  

Other than D getting quite sick, we had a marvelous weekend. The kids rode rides, saw Shamu, enjoyed a play, swam in a heated indoor pool, and mostly had a great time playing together and with their cousins. 

I loved watching how well SylRafa play together and use their imaginations. They come up with the craziest things and have a blast doing so.  They are really into role playing, although it seems to be more of just changing names than any behavior. We are often they twins and they are they parents. Oscar does his best to get in on the fun, too. Although he mostly just wants to run and climb and explore. And get mad when he doesn't get his way. You know, typical 1.5 yr old stuff. 

So grown up!  We can now leave them for the most part at a kids' table!  

That smile of his just kills me. He is delighted by life. And a good example to us!  Except for the throwing things. But, that's for another post. 

Seriously adorable. It's just beautiful to see the cousins together!

It doesn't get any better than chocolate chip cookies and Christmas trees. 

SylRafa enjoyed cousin Alex reading to them. And we enjoyed watching them all hang out together!

Where to, next???
