Recently . . .

We found this little guy in our back yard.

We found this little guy standing up in his crib.

And Addie had her ballet recital, which was oh so very cute.

And if you happen to live thousands of miles away and weren't able to see it, here's a short clip from dress rehearsal.

The Fancy Nancy Party

hosted by our local library

was cute, cute, cute.

And the girls were happy, happy, happy.

Dirty Rat

He's Happy

Happy Easter

Bunny Buns

If you've never made "bunny buns"(I love that name), we think you should.

And if you do, we also think you should invite us over.

Month in Review

March was warm, very warm, so the girls spent most of their time in the cul-de-sac.

Olivia got her first haircut. She wasn't exactly happy about it, but we're all glad to have fewer curls to comb through. Addie traded in her front tooth for a pair of glasses, and she couldn't be happier. "Mom, wearing glasses is like watching a blu ray." Megan never missed an opportunity to take care of Luke, and regularly remind him, "Luke, I am your sister" in her best Darth Vader voice.

And Luke spent his days rolling across the living room floor and smiling for the camera.

Not a bad month.

New Tricks

Standing

Sitting (kind of),
lots of smiling


and thumb sucking,
which probably isn't the greatest trick, but it sure makes for a great sleeper!

Beds . . .

are so over-rated. Especially when you have a thumb.

Don't trip on your lip

Christmas 2010

Megan - winner of the "I want to be Mary" battle. Aric opening his remote controlled helicopter (and you thought I only had 4 kids)

The year of the pillow pets (purple unicorn not shown),

the playhouse,

and SNOW!

(If you look closely, you'll see that Megan was also the winner of the "I'm not wearing socks" battle.)

So it didn't actually snow until the 26th, but we're counting it as a white Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Megan's 4th Birthday

was complete with presents,

cards,

cake and candles,

and chocolate ice cream.

Happy Birthday Megan!

Getting Bigger

For those who have a difficult time telling my children apart, Luke is the one not wearing pink.

Giving Thanks

Sister Mathaney (Megan's sunbeam teacher): "Megan, What are you thankful for?"
Megan: "I'm thankful that Jesus took care of my baby brother."



And I'm thankful (among other things) that Megan decided to quit sucking her thumb last week - cold turkey (pardon the pun).

What a kid.
