Ben's Garden



When we moved to our new house, we noticed there was a vegetable garden on one side of the garage... it captured Ben's interest on-and-off all winter. He had planted some veggies at his babysitter's house the previous summer, and his essential question at school for the month of April was "How do things grow?" So, he really felt like a gardening pro. For Easter from Bubba and Grampy he got garden tools and seeds, and today he finally got his wish to plant the garden. They worked clearing debris from last year, pulling weeds, turning the soil and finally planting seeds (the part Ben was WAITING for)! We're keeping our fingers crossed that things start to grow in a few weeks... we'll keep you posted!

Our Bunny-

My mom called me "Bunny" when I was a girl... so here's Bunny's Bunny. Happy first Easter, Nora! You're stylin' with Maggie's Easter hat and a sweet little bunny outfit from Lis and Jason!

Best Easter EVER!!!!


Ben loved Easter this year... he kept saying this is the best Easter EVER!! The bunny hid his basket in the shower and ben thought that was the funniest thing. His basket had candy, summer PJs, swim trunks and key chains to decorate. Joe and I went to a concert the night before Easter (our first outing without kids!) and we were feeling a little ROUGH the next morning, but it was totally worth it!!

2 months!

At her 2-month appointment Nora weighed 13 lbs. and was 24" (95% for both!). There are lots of pudge rolls to move during bath and diaper changes... such a chunk compared to her brother at this age! Nora has a buddy Max who was born eight days before her and he looks like a tiny munchkin compared to her. So funny!

First bottle-


 Yeahhhhhh.... the first bottle did not go so well and is STILL not going well. She hates bottles and we have tried three different styles. Anyone have suggestions?! Nora and I will need to be apart for more than three hours fairly soon... hmmmm. She's more laid-back than her brother was at this age, but he did awesome with a bottle.
Here we are getting ready for our family walk to the coffee shop. LOVE living so close to downtown. Ben thinks he is HYSTERICAL when he shows off his belly.

Family time-

 One of several attempts to get a pic of all three grandkids... sheesh, it's not very easy, but still cute.

Ben and his "sweet little miss miss." He still adores his baby sister and says he loves her more than anyone else ever will. I'm going to quote him on this in the future... when she's getting into all of his toys or flirting with his friends...

old toys become new toys-


Ben loved this as a baby and now loves sharing it with his baby sister. He was even having fun goofing off by himself - what a funny kid...
