March Moments

Happy Palm Sunday!  This was one of the last Sundays we were stuck being in the lobby during Sacrament meeting because we were late.  We've finally figured out what time to set the alarm clock for and it helps so much N loves nursery and is so excited to get her own shoes on for us.  Since so many of our neighbors were going to be out of town for Easter Sunday (including us) we had our annual Easter egg hunt in the pocket park on Palm Sunday this year.  A wonderful time was had by all and my children were so grateful they didn't have to miss it after all.  I apologize I didn't get great pictures.

These two sisters.  It is so fun to see them wearing matching outfits K and M used to wear together.  I just love the smile N is giving M in this picture.  It should be interesting to see how N gets used to having M also go to school every day like K and D do next year.  I hope she doesn't get bored!

This is perfection right here.  N at her friend's birthday party, sitting in a Cozy Coupe watching her favorite movie while holding onto a balloon directly before eating cupcakes.  Life is certainly good sometimes.
Sledding by the house means maneuvering a ditch going back and forth from the hill.  One of the perks of a Waldorf preschool is that M can climb around like a champion now.  I'm so happy about all the progress her gross motor skills have made this year.
In February we were so sad to see there wasn't a Valentine's Day dance announced by the stake.  So when we heard it had been moved to March this year we were so excited to go.  I was still super tired from being sick but there was no way I was going to miss one of the best dates of the year!
K and M have been enjoying their dance class at the M. family's house and I have enjoyed watching them pick out all sorts of different outfits that still match.
Park day!  I love how our state manages to give us nice weather breaks right when we need them.
Poor K was sick this night and had to stay home with dad and the baby, but D, M, and I had a wonderful time watching Emma play the role of Maria in the Sound of Music for her high school musical.  We have known her since before K was born and still have a onsie she decorated when she heard that K was coming into our family soon.  Emma did a fantastic job and the children really fell in love with the musical.  They had never seen the Nazi part before so they were a bit confused.  lol.
Home improvement:  adding color!  D spent a Saturday doing this for me and I am so grateful to have a color other than tan somewhere on the main floor of my house!  Thanks, hon!  Looks just like I hired a professional.
I just love my St. Patrick's Day family.  Mrs. C. totally convinced K last year and D this year that leprechauns totally exist and it was so fun to see M delight in helping D with his leprechaun trap.  I have a cute video of D telling me that if he caught a leprechaun he would "ask for a brother, fireworks, and a spider man costume that I can shoot webs and I can stick to the ceiling."  Gotta love this holiday!

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 ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
