SO BIG

Well, Michael Joseph has turned out to be quite large. He's so big he has a hard time with stabelizing the head. But he's outgrown the infant carrier, so I thought I'd get a picture of him in it, this was taken at 7 months. And aren't they all cute playing on the floor. I love them!

Easter Morning

Aside from being a spiritual day, when you have little people in your home, the "Easter Bunny" makes a visit. Michael Joseph chose to sleep through the morning festivities. And in my usual documentary style, I forgot to take a picture of the kids all dolled up. But, I know Aunt Judy has some and I'll post that picture soon.

Easter 2010

I took on Easter as my holiday to host. Last year, I lent the house out to friends and avoided doing anything since I was pregnant and barely coping with my first two. This year we were back on track. We had a nice turnout of 30 people. And our neighbors let us use their patch of grass, since our yard was still under wet snow for the hunt of eggs. A lovely time was had by all.

More changes to the House

I always forget about the before pictures, but the kids rooms are odd. There were counters under the windows and a crazy cubby in David's room. So, Grant to the rescue, moved a walland shortened the closet so that a bed can actually fit in the space, and took the counters out so furniture can be tucked away providing more playroom for my little people. It's nice to have the train table out of my bedroom. Eventually Michael will move into David's room. But for now, Lydia is happy to share.

We are two of a kind

On April 14, Lydia had a minor accident and busted her lip. Yes, she is accident prone like her mom. Our neighbor Bruce is a P.A. and Lydia was adament that he check her lip. Luckily she was fine, but not thrilled about the appearance of her face. Yes, she is also a little vain. I reasoned with her that we would match. Mommy had a mole on her lip that was going to get removed on the 17. My Surgeon was awesome, but it required a little more work than what was originally planned and a total of 30 stiches. I just had the final stiches removed on the 29. But there is nothing better than having a best little buddy with a matching lip.

Lydia's First Sleepover

This happened about a month ago. I've been lazy at potty training Lydia. She's been "trained" for a year and half, except for night. I just used a pullup as a crutch. My friend's little girl Jillian is a doll. Her mom had the great idea of using the big girls get to have sleepover technique. And it worked! So, I thought I'd post a picture of the fun night. I'm sure years from now Lydia will be mortified that this was even on my blog. Oh well, it's my life and the only successful journal I've kept.

To stay or go?

I've been pestering Cecil about moving off and on for a year now. But when it came right down to it, we love our neighborhood and have decided to stay. With that comes a few modifications to the house. Our Theatre Room. Cecil and our friend Grant did a wonderful job. I forgot to take a picture of the initial demo, but it's turned out great and I can't wait for the theatre seats in the not so distant future.
