Growing Up

WOW! Abby wore this outfit last summer......guess who fits in it now!!! Growing fast!!
Hand-me-downs are going to start to dwindle fast!

Hello??

On the Wii phone! Anyone there??

Loves her bath!

Maddy has been really enjoying solo bathtime lately. Somehow she's managed to get the tub all to herself and she started "swimming" on her tummy! Guess she's preparing for pool time!!
18 months old in a week......my baby is getting BIG!
Oh, and during this bath tonight I discovered why she's been cranky the last week or so at night.....breaking two bottom molars at the same time! Poor sweetie. With the few teeth she has, I feaed it would all come at once.

Hmmmm....all laid out

Left the room to do laundry and came back to a sleeping daddy and a tv watching girl!
Must be a comfy spot!

Swim Lessons

We started swim lessons on Monday (twice a week for 4 weeks), and the first lesson went GREAT!
I planned it so that it is Abby, and my girlfriend's two daughters (Addison & Casey) and it turned out the three of them were the only ones in the class! Hopefully Abby will learn some safety and skill tools to use all summer at home in the pool.

Sisterly Backyard Fun

Just a taste of what the outdoor fun will bring for us this summer.

SPRING Fun!!

We took the girls town to the Norfolk Waterside this morning as they opened the play fountain for the year. They had free games, balloons, cotton candy, and rides. Maddy had a blast and wouldn't stop running around checking everything out.....which meant mommy was chasing after her, but it was all a lot of fun. Love watching them do new things.
Oh, and the Easter bunny stopped by. Abby wanted nothing to do with it, but Maddy was captivated by it. And wouldn't leave it alone. She kept following it around whenever she caught a glimpse of him.
 Did I mention cotton candy too? Abby ate the WHOLE thing!
 She was gracious enough to share a few bites with her little sister.
 Maddy loved the sweets too and clearly wanted another bite.
 Trying to chase after the bunny AGAIN!
WET!!! Yes she got splashed once by a surprise fountain spray and got soaked. But it didn't keep her down!

Playgroup Egg Hunt

We had a fun Easter egg hunt party at our house this past week.
About 10 other friends came over and we hid a LOT of eggs!
And it was a beautiful day, so the kids played outside for once.

Maddy.....

Oh Maddy......
 Dressing up in the knights helmet.....on sideways, how she thinks it should be!
 Super cute laying with Mike as she watched replayed video of herself..very intrigued to see herself on the screen.

 Caught her lounging "reading" Abby's tangled book.

Wheel Barrel Legs

Mike had the funny idea to see if Abby could walk like a wheel-barrel. Well, she finally got it, but it was after a lot of giggles, and wobbly arms!

Living life in beautiful........well, everywhere......US NAVY!!!
