Recent Happenings

We'll start this out with a picture displaying Esther's unique fashion sense. Nice, huh? I let her go to school with outfits like this every day.

I've been really busy lately with my new life as a grad student (Drexel Univ. online - master of science in library and information science!) so blogging has not been a priority. But here's what's been happening around here lately:

Alex and his best kindergarten buddy love to play together. They were getting ready to throw water balloons. Neither wanted to get wet (not sure why!!!) so they threw them at "bad guys."

Esther made Emma this beautiful necklace out of a flower.

The Easter Bunny was good to us - flip-flops, chocolate, and books.

Yummy!

"Get away from my bunny!!"

Lee caught this snake today. (Yeah, I don't know why either...)

We went on a picnic tonight - the end of the most perfect weekend ever. It was in the 80s Saturday and Sunday. Alex and Esther think they are SO funny when they eat Bugles (fingernails, teeth, ha ha).

She told me she doesn't remember ever going to a park for a picnic before. Really, Emma? Poor child. (And we go to parks almost every weekend when the weather is nice!!)

After years of being pushed around by his big sister, Alex is finally coming into his own.

I have very few pictures of me with my kids! I finally got one! It was Esther's idea to pose in the tree. I think we're cute!

We stopped for ice cream on the way home from the picnic. Daddy shared his with Emma.

Guess what Alex ate?

Esther polished off an entire banana split and half of Emma's milkshake.

That's it from my world. Now I better get back to studying!

Scripture Memorization - H

Here is the next verse (Letter H) for you to memorize in 2009 (see sidebar for more info and other verses):

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1

Big Birthday Boy

Alex chose Star Wars Legos as his birthday party theme.

Here is the centerpiece - flowers, Legos, and an alien growing in a test tube.

Yeah, this is supposed to be a Lego. I don't do cakes.

We had Alex's friend Marty and Marty's family (who just happen to be our friends) over for pizza and cake. Marty got Alex some, you guessed it, Stars Wars Legos. He was a happy kid.

The meal. (Nothing witty to write. I'm tired and my brain is overworked these days.)

Who Needs a Million Dollars?

Here's Lee's latest video! (There is a better quality version on facebook, in case you just really need to see it larger!)

Flashback Friday

Alex will be six on Saturday. I am happy for him, but not so happy for myself that my kids keep getting old!

Back when they were cute!

Um, you would think there would be some parental supervision.

The big birth day - April 4, 2003!

I have always loved this picture.
