Hail Yes!

Do you remember your first hail? I totally do! It's so exciting when little balls of ice drop from the sky like a great big ice-dispenser. It looked so funny bouncing around on the trampoline that we had to let the kids get out there and jump with it! When they came in they had hail stuck in the hoods and their hair! So we picked the little balls out and ate them! What a fun "spring" treat!

Family Fun

Here are some random photos of my lovelies. Jason with his new amp so he can goof around on his electric guitar for a change.
Aurelia's half sleeve.
Ezra's constant joy - blocks.
Oli saying "get me out of here!" Yep - good times. SO - I know I haven't posted in a while! Thanks for hanging in there and checking us out every now and again. I'll be honest and tell you that I've been a little nuts for a while. Just busy and too much on my mind. Other things have been more important, but I sure have missed posting! I love doing this! I love going over the memories and the photos and knowing that you'll be enjoying them too. Thanks for being a part of my family even if it's through the internet!

Green Eggs and Toast

Here's our tribute to Saint Patrick. Green eggs (which Aurelia decided weren't as appetizing as she thought they were going to be), green butter on toast and green milk (which was as bad as the blue "Smurf" milk my dad gave me when I was a kid. I totally appreciate what he was trying to do back then, NOW, but yeah - milk should be WHITE). We did wear green and talk about what St. Pat did but that was the extent of it. (BTW - I had eggs and chorizo for breakfast . . .)

Squeaky Clean

Here's Oli doing that "Hey, check out my muscles" move. Yeah, he's pretty hot!

Don't you just love the baby chubs?? So, the scoop on Oli - he's 23 pounds large, not quite walking yet, still. Four teeth is all he's got to show for all the drooling and chewing he does. He knows Mama, dada and byebye. He can sign "mas" (more) and "all done!" and "please" so he's pretty much covered during dinner time. He's a happy happy baby and already too smart for his own good. His little hand gets spanked when he drops food off the edge of the table, but that doesn't stop him. AND he gets lots of kisses from, well, everybody. What a love!

Cookie Playdate

Here are some photos of a fun playdate

we had with some church friends. The kids played together and then we made some cookies! And boy, were they tasty!

Sweet as Angels

Don't you just love sleeping children? Here they are snuggle sleeping tegether, which is their new arrangement. It works for all of us!
