It's Back!

My camera is back! I had to get outside and take photos today. Beautiful weather...love love love my kids (and my camera)!

Joel's Surprise Rumble Birthday Party

We had a great time celebrating Joel's 6th birthday. Rumble, the mascot for our NBA Thunder came for a big surprise. Joel was so very excited (as all the kids were). I'll admit even all the adults were enjoying it. Most importantly, it was a great day to celebrate Joel. We love him so much!

9 Months

Abby turned 9 months this past Saturday. She is just such a blessing to us. She is learning so fast...right now as I type Joel is "hopping" and she is sitting in her highchair watching him and trying to "hop" like him.

On another note, I am mourning because my camera (my slr) "died" last week and had to be sent into Nikon. I am lost without it! Of course Joel's birthday is next week, we had Easter, and Abby is getting bigger everyday...all that to say I need my camera! I'm praying for it to be returned soon! I never realized the "love affair" I have with my camera until I have had to go back to using the old point and shoot. It just isn't the same!

Enjoying beautiful weather, planting flowers, wagon rides, and our afternoons outdoors. In fact, I think that's where we are off to right now!

Happy Easter

A Few More

A few more photos...had to show you my sweet boy.

8 Months

Abby turned 8 months last week. She is a busy little girl. Happy, crawling, clapping, smiling, pulling up (and falling alot). I am enjoying every minute with her. Loving these sweet days with her knowing they go so fast.

Brother and Sister

I have to say Joel is such a great brother to Abby. He loves her, is most often kind and gentle with her, and in turn she loves him sooooo much. No one can make her smile and squeal in delight like her brother. During the day when we are alone at home, she is looking for him in every room just hoping he'll jump and say "Abby!" like only he does.

Abby loves playing the piano lately. (Both the toy piano and the real one). Joel is busy with school and is still loving his legos. Hoping for some warm weather so we can get outside...hopefully soon. Spring break is coming.
