Anna is 4!!

Happy Birthday to our spunky, fun, ball of energy little girl!! You are growing up so fast...and such a joy to be around - never a dull moment around here with you!!! May God continue to grow you up , knowing and loving Him as your Heavenly Father - and loving life as much as you do - we are so blessed to have you in our family!!!

Mmmm...Diapers!

Who needs food or toys....when you have diapers!

Um, yeah, a few wet ones needed to air dry before being put back in the pile - a tad too much drool going on!

When Mom is Busy....

...this is what the kids get in to. At least it's not marker (or worse!!)

YES!!!

A baby sleeping thru the night definitely makes for a happy mom!

Especially 4 nights in a row!!!!

Feel the Love

No shortage of kisses from my niece on the weekend...

Not much to say...just super cute...I love the first kisses these kids give...

Mmmm...Cookies!!!

Sara finally was able to try her first cookie on the weekend. I'm usually pretty early with this...tends to be a 6 month birthday present for my kids - but Sara (as previously mentioned) has been a bit different when it comes to firsts around here (we are still working on sleeping thru the night!!).

She enjoyed holding the cookie...

She enjoyed licking the cookie...

And enjoyed looking at the cookie....

And enjoyed stuffing it in various ways in her mouth...

But - she did NOT enjoy actually eating the cookie...as soon as a piece was on her tongue she gagged on it - she just wasn't quite sure what to do with it once a piece was in her mouth!!

So we wait a little longer...

We Like to Train Them Young

Why wait till they're 16 to practice?
 
Sara can grip the wheel already...

And is even able to honk the horn!

We just need to work on the "licking" part...the wheel was pretty wet by the time she was done with it!

Weather

We certainly can't beat the weather we've had over this past weekend! Sun, sun and more sun - and unbelievable temperatures have been much enjoyed by everyone I'm sure. A few "outdoor" shots of the kids enjoying the balmy conditions...

Chop Chop

Well, Esther was finally able to chop off her hair. She's been wanting to do this for quite some time here - but had to wait till it was long enough to donate for cancer. The day finally came, and her lovely locks have shrunk considerably! She LOVES the new cut now - especially since it's now a "style" as well! And the leftover locks will go to a great cause - what a good day!

A Few Updates...

Just a few updates coming your way - it's been rather busy here - enjoying the beautiful weather being one good reason!!
