Workin' it...

Danielle is finally in her element. A full time mom. Sorta. She will go back to work for just 2 days a week soon, but she's enjoying it while it lasts.

Meanwhile, Ali has learned to do some aerobics to try to help mom get back in shape.
She even trys to help Aubrey by encouraging her to get up out of her bouncy chair, and offering to sit in it for her.But all in all, Ali and Aubrey love each other.
And that makes Aubrey happy.
So Dave and Candace and Courtney came down to visit. We went to Excalibur, but found out they turned the famous free family magic show stage into a huge bar. So we had to go downstairs and play games instead. Danielle beat Brian in the horse racing game and won a toy elephant for Ali.
On Sunday, we had the blessing and had fun trying to get Danielle's family and our's in the picture. Dan just made it in.
Granny was thrilled to be able to be there with us and hold her 73rd grandchild...or somesing like 'dat.Grandpa was hungry, so Ali helped feed him.
Then on Monday, we followed our Bollard family tradition and went to the park to feed the ducks.

And with Dan working full time and going to school, he enjoys his sleep more than ever before. As you can see, however, he still finds time to help with the kids.


Sorry for lapse in blogging. Now that I'm getting my groove back, I'll start to be better, hopefully.

Thanks for the updates our your family of four! (Sorry we missed you Dan during our very brief stops in Vegas last month, but we were happy to see Danielle & the girls). That first picture of Danielle feeding one baby while holding the other baby brought back SO many memories for me (just repeat to yourselves--you WILL survive this year!). Aubrey looks gorgeous in her blessing dress, wish we could have been there!

Dan you crack me up. We love the new pictures and I was pretty impressed with Danielle's super mom skills. We know because of how thoughtful she is that she is a great mother. Dan we know you are working hard as well to do your part, so we must give you some love too. You guys are the cutest little family and we miss hanging out with you guys and wish we could have been at Aubreys blessing but know that we were thinking about you all. The pictures of Ali loving her sister are so cute. Take care. Love- the other Hardys

Oh and Danielle I almost forgot to tell you that you look great. I saw all the pictures from the blessing on Steph's blog and you look so good.
