Turning Two

My sweet little boy turned two on the 4th of April. We woke up on Saturday and drove all the way to Wal-Mart..hahah so funny that it's actually a trip to get there. We wanted to get him a basketball hoop to "shoot hoops". We loved it. It was a beautiful but windy day outside. We came home and I started cooking for his birthday dinner. I went to the store and picked up two big blue balloons. He is so obsessed with balloons that if that was all I got him, he would have been perfectly happy. We celebrated with aunts and cousins and played all day long. It was a wonderful birthday.

Returning to the Blog

Where did March go? Somewhere in between Lenten Six Pack talks and the big Challenge Father Daughter dance, to Dr. Ray coming in town I missed a whole month! We are back to normal. These are some shots of our everyday hum drum life around the house...simple and sweet, just the way I like it.


We love to smile and talk these days.


Christianna has been pulling herself up into sitting position. Is this normal for a 3 1/2 month old? I don't remember Nicholas trying this until he was like 6 months. Why are we so anxious to get up and going pudding?



Nicholas is sporting his hat the Aunt Hilary and Tim gave him for his birthday, which is Saturday! How is my little boy turning 2?

Spring is Coming!

It was a beautiful mild day and of course I was dying to get outside. I layed two towels out and told Nicholas to go outside while I got Christiana into her seat. I came outside to find that he had plopped himself down, with puppy of course, and was gazing out into the yard. He sat and ate his apple and talked with his puppy for awhile enjoying springs first warm day. I sat and watched him and we spend a perfectly content afternoon together.

If Pudding Were a Puppy...

This might be what she'd be .... well at any rate she's cute, round, and plump and we love her!
