Birthdays, Easter & Springtime!

We have had a wonderful April so far!  I celebrated my (number not disclosed) birthday on the 10th.  Joshua made me a cake - sort of.  



It was a giant rice krispie treat in an Elmo pan.  Very cute, and quite yummy, too!



We had a wonderful Easter!  We had several Easter Egg Hunts, and fun craft playgroups the first two weeks of April.  The kids had a lot of fun, as did I.


We are excited about the warmer weather headed our way.  We are trying to spend as much time outside as possible.  The kids have discovered chalk art on the driveway, and enjoy helping Daddy washing the cars and cutting the grass.  I have a lot of fun things planned for this summer!

The Last Two Months....

I was reminded I haven't updated the blog in awhile, and I'm finding it hard to believe it has been since January.  I guess I've been busy :)

The kids and I are keeping busy at playgroups.  We are attending at least 2 or 3 a week, as well as hosting them here at the house once a week or so.  

Josh is loving school, and is doing really well.  I had a Parent / Teacher conference yesterday, and they are thrilled with his improvement the last few months.  The separation anxiety has disappeared, and he is doing well with group activities.  

Chelsea knows about 60 or 70 words now, and can string 2 or 3 together into simple sentences.  She loves to copy everything Josh does, and we're having a hard time explaining she's too little for some things.  The doctor is concerned about her size.  Her weight percentage is steadily decreasing.  If we can't maintain or increase the percentage at her next appointment, she is going to undergo some testing to make sure she's not failing to thrive.  

Scott has been traveling a lot with his new job.  He's made trips to Chicago, Columbus and New Jersey.  He has several trips planned in the near future, including Sacramento, Los Angeles and another trip to New Jersey.

We have been trying to get outside as often as we can the last couple months.  Being cooped up inside so much is starting to get rough with 2 toddlers.  We've made our first trips to Round Hill Farm and the Zoo this month, and are anxious to go back.  

I have added several photo albums to the right side of the page.  Take a look to see what we've been up to.

My baby is now 3!

On Wednesday Joshua turned three years old.  It's amazing how quickly the time went by.  I made him a farm cake this year, complete with cows, a barn, and of course a John Deere tractor.



The cake has a crushed graham cracker dirt road, and coconut dyed green grass.  The figures and barn are all toys Joshua already had.  I had to buy the tractor.  I think it turned out cute.

A Special Phone Call...

Joshua received a special phone call from Santa this evening. I think this was the highlight of the Christmas season!
