Sitting up and siblings...

Grace is getting better and better at this sitting up thing. Here are a few pictures of her sitting up on our bed (I grabbed a blanket to make a better backdrop this time).







And also are few pictures of Grace and Nathaniel...she just wanted to stare at him, so I got some cute pictures of the two of them looking at each other.






And of a course a couple of Nathaniel by himself.


I need to get some pictures of Joshua up here too...I just seem to take more pictures during the daytime when he's at school than in the evening when he's home.

Lego Man

Yesterday Nathaniel built a tower with his big Legos...he'd made a cool one Tuesday afternoon, but took it apart to give Joshua some to build with when he got home from basketball. This was way more impressive since it was almost as tall as he was! Even more impressive is that he built it as part of a "train" and was able to move it slightly!






Sitting Up!





Grace is starting to get all those back muscles strengthened and get her balance and be able to sit up pretty well! Ignore the messy unmade bed in the background...I hadn't gotten to making the bed yesterday morning before Brian & Joshua headed off to school and we took these pictures!
This morning her new thing was to turn over from her tummy to her back. Now once she puts together that she can turn from back to tummy and then from tummy to back, there will be no stopping her!

March Madness!

And I'm not talking about basketball! We've had some wild and weird weather the past few days...Monday we had hail...




It was bouncing pretty good!

This is up under the porch roof...it was coming down hard. Found out from Joshua later that they'd been out for recess when it started coming down...he said it sounded like fireworks as it hit the hood of his jacket.


And then last night this is what we got...thankfully it should be gone later today, it's already starting to melt.

Front yard

Different shot of the pond with the snowcovered tree

Looking up the street from the driveway...

Pond across the street about 745 this morning

Deer tracks in the front yard...no, this isn't a rare occurence...it would be a rare (and blessed) occurence to NOT have the deer in the yard or driveway

I'll post a few more snow and hail pictures on Facebook...gotta' love pre-spring weather!

Reading to little sister



Late afternoon, perfect time to put on Elmo pjs & be silly while Daddy tries to pull out big brother's tooth



No, I'm not sitting in the baby chair...
