Rachel's winter piano recital
She started off a little rocky, but I was proud of her for pulling through and she finished fabulously. Her teacher almost took out the second song because she was having a rough time with it at her lesson...but I fought for it, and I'm glad I did. She has improved a lot this year and I'm really proud of her. She has a real love for it.

Lily is now eating solids
It has been fun to watch the kids' enthusiasm over this milestone. They each wanted to take their turns and Tommy gave her a medal. Kate still insists on feeding her every time.
She has grown up a lot in the last couple of weeks...she's more interested in toys, babbling a lot, and now loves to splash in the tub!
Camera fun...sisters!
Daddy daughter dance. They had a great time! The only thing is that dinner and dancing don't mix with Rachel...not sure how to solve that little problem.
6 month check up. I never take note of the stats. I feel a little guilty about that, but she's healthy.
This kid's love for her...one day I told him to give Lily a kiss before she went down for a nap. Ten minutes later he was crying and having a bit of a fit because he couldn't kiss her again. Last night as he was doing dishes he kept saying, "I can't not look at her, she's too cute!"
We have had a couple days of spring like weather...hallelujah!!! Kate has now fallen and scraped her knees twice.
Fun with homemade silly putty...yes, I was proud of myself. I was a cool mom for a day...maybe an afternoon :)
Lily is doing really well with sitting up. The kids think it is the funniest thing when she falls over.
Pajama day at school. Tommy was trying to trick Daddy with "not getting ready for school". Jake knew it was pajama day and Tommy knew that he knew it, but he was playing along anyways and Tommy thought it was hilarious!
A beautiful weekend!! Lots of snow melted and we found a glove and a hat, the kids ate lunch out back and played outside all afternoon. Amazing how good it feels to feel the sun after months of winter. It is so rejuvenating to see the first signs of spring, I wondered when it was going to come.
LOVE this cute girl!
Another checkup? Despite our crazy freezing winter we've actually had a really healthy one...knock on wood!!
