Sundays

Tonight during dinner Christian explained to Daniel how sometimes we need to do things we don't want or like to do. To make sure Daniel was listening and understanding, Christian asked Daniel to explain it to James.

Daniel turned to James and said,

"James, sometimes we need to go to church!"

Updates

Daniel

He's reading! I'm so proud of him.
He has been working so hard at this.
He's also the big brother every girl dreams she had.
Anna is his favorite person...and she LOVES Daniel.

James

Potty Trained!
This time is was quick and painless.
He did have a cooshie tooshie (he insisted we bring in the space heater for those long sits).

Anna

Her bottom teeth just popped up.
I love the two-toothed smile.
She's everyone's favorite girl.

Anna Claire

Anna needed a little more face time on this blog.
The boys like dressing her up.
Soon she will be cutting their hair.

A Lovely Spring Day

Once upon a time...

There was this boy, who made green curry for this girl...

And she showed up on his door step in a bear suit...

And that is just the beginning....

Of a story that ends...

"And they lived happily ever after."

Mosaics

With our leftover tiles (from tiling our shower a while back), we made a mosaic. I think the kids favorite part was when I sent them out to break the tiles into pieces by throwing them on the pavement.

"Really Mom? Break them?"

The Big Bathtub

Miss Anna went swimming for the first time this week. She LOVED it. Looking at this picture makes me miss her. I want to go squeeze her and pepper her in kisses. She is snuggily tucked in her bed. I wonder what she is dreaming of....maybe swimming...but hopefully me. Sweet dreams my little lady.

Mush

Saturday was mushing...

...not mushy.

Well, that too.

Our PB&J picnic

Anna still got a little snooze in.

Little mushers...so cute on their "one dog open sleigh"

And here is the parting shot.
