Sharing...

On a nice memorial day, the boys were lucky to share a root beer float! Andrew had given the float to Eric, and a few moments later Eric ran into the house asking for a second straw. Andrew gave him a second straw and Eric ran outside and put the second straw into the cup; then Eric called Ethan over to share the drink. Here's a picture of the brothers sharing a root beer float!

Nonnie's Park (aka...Pommer park)

We visited Wanda on Friday, and Ethan spent the night with her. On our visit we walked down the street to the new park where the kids had a great time. Wanda donated two out of the three benches and had these plaque's put down (see below) I teared up at the thought of my kids having something like that with their names on it! SO COOL! The other plaque is in loving memory of Andrew's twin brother who passed away only 10 days after being born. Eric asked me who Aaron Pommer was and I told him that he was his Uncle in Heaven! This means so much to us and I love going to what we now call either "Nonnie's Park, or Pommer Park!"
