March Madness

Here's a few pictures from March -- I can't imagine how empty my life would be without my little ones, but boy, do they keep me busy!
Afternoon snack of chocolate pudding. I don't think I'll be doing that again soon.
Here Dan tried to get a good picture of Danny after going to urgent care. He fell down inside the van while avoiding getting in his car seat. We were afraid he would need stitches, but he was just under what was deemed necessary for them. Poor Danny had to live off of milk, Michelle's squeezable baby food (below), & ice cream. He loved it.
Grandma Karyl has been coming over a few afternoons a week so I can prepare dinner in peace. I am so glad to be a spoiled only child!
Can you see Michelle's bruise on her ear? That's when she tried to go out to the backyard by herself & Danny smashed her head with the sliding glass door. She had a mark on the other side of her head too.
Recently Danny has decided he is such a big boy he can play tug-of-war with Meigo (and say 'no' & hit & do other naughty things). He is still a huge sweetie b/c at least after he hurts you he gets a really sad look on his face & gives you a hug & a kiss & says, "sorry mommy." It makes a world of difference as he learns to grow & develop. We are so grateful to have him in our family.
Michelle has decided that she's a big girl too. What an adventure that is becoming for all of us. Here she is playing peek-a-boo. I am so grateful for her smiling face!

Luckily the weather is getting nicer & spring is on its way. Look at how gorgeous Kaelah is while she swings on the swing set in our back yard!
This was from a much needed morning with friends. I love seeing Kaelah smile & play with Serena at the park!
Dan's car has been kicked out of the garage & the bicycles & bike trailers have come up from the basement. Can you see how excited Danny & Michelle were to go for a bike ride? This was on a day I invited Grandpa to come with us. (:
Hooray for spring being right around the corner!

Hey, my car is the one that gets kicked out of the garage. No fair! Oh well, Carl's truck needs to stay in the garage so it starts better in the cold mornings at 5 am. And it's just a sure sign that spring is on the way!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
