Beach Trip

Wipeout!. . . drawing a rainbow . . .

Lately . . .

I've been sending the kids outside to play in the street:
Vince got to keep his kindergarten classroom pet this weekend:

Vince graduates preschool!!!

Vince graduated preschool this week. I am now the proud owner of a teeny tiny cap and gown that is just too sad to even look at. Vince literally strutted across the stage to get his diploma. He was quite pleased with himself.

Miss Mia is TWO!

Mia is now 27 lbs and 34 in tall! She was very brave at the doctor's office with her bear by her side. The doctor examined "B" first and Mia was relieved to know that he is as healthy as her!

Spring is here!

We are getting ready to sell the house so that means major spring cleaning. I was relieved to get some help from Miss Mia. Right up until I walked into the room later and found this . . . The kids and I took a break from cleaning to go on an Easter Egg hunt this morning. They were impatient to start so they began collecting other things in the woods. Found one!!!! Mia must have been feeling tolerant today because she allowed Vince to drag her around for a long time. Vince and Mia thought the turtles in the water had the right idea about taking a break and sitting on a log. Communing with nature . . .

Sledding time

This was Mia and Vince's first REAL trip sledding down a hill instead of just being pulled down an incline. It went over well.

Each time we came to a stop Mia asked "Ehh okay??" I guess she just needed to be sure.

Winter Fun!

Finally some snow around here! Mia was very excited to watch it fall. She kept saying "NOOOO (aka "snow"). Whoa!!"
Suiting up!

Snowdevil:
"Uuup!! Uuup!!!" Mia spent alot of time requesting for me to pick her up. She has not perfected her snowwalking yet. Tracking wildlife: "HEP!" Mia liked laying down to ride but not during rest stops. Ouch! Got me:I love rosy cheeks and cocoa faces!! Vince had a nice circle around his face from the mug.

Update on the kiddos

Paging Dr. Mia

Vince's first attempt ice skating. I couldn't believe he agreed to try this. And he actually liked it. He wouldn't let go of my hand (except to take this pic) but he was really enjoying it. Notice that he is a bit damp. It started sprinkling while we were there. We didn't mind but then it started pouring. And ice skating in the rain is not nearly as much fun as it sounds.

I've decided to send the kids to Atlanta with Daddy

We picked this shirt out to surprise Daddy with online for our video chats. Mia likes her Daddy's hat.Packed and ready to go

Mia's new favorite activity (all day, every day)

Mia reliving her newborn days. She's supposed to be using this for her baby dolls but lately they have been given the boot so that she can put herself to bed.
