Taking After Daddy...

Yep.. Caleb fell victim to Scott's eyesight genes. :) The boys are actually liking the fact that they both have glasses now... And Micah keeps saying, "When I get bigger, I get glasses too - like the big boys.." heh heh.

Grins and Giggles...

I had forgotten what a wonderful stage this is... Anna is becoming so much more aware of her surroundings and interacting with us with sweet smiles and little laughs. They are so precious. We're hoping for even more after the stent comes out in March!! :)

Grandma turns 29.... Again. :)

Scott has been trying to convince her to be 39 now that he's older than 29... She won't have any of that.... 29 it is. The kids and I had a great time making her a cake, beautiful birthday cards and pictures and decorating her house with streamers and balloons... (Courtesy of Grandma's stash.) :) Isaiah said that she couldn't make us dinner since it was her birthday and she "shouldn't be working." So, she said we could do dinner... Monical's pizza to go... :) I even brought home the Monical's lollipops for birthday treats!! It was a good day for all, I think!

A Breath of Fresh Air....

a happy baby is a beautiful thing...

Today was the warmest February 7th in Peoria since 1925.. Our thermometer read over 70 degrees in the sun, but they say it was a high of 63 degrees... We were all in major need of some warmer weather, fresh air, and out of the house time... We washed the car, went on a scooter ride/walk, talked to neighbors we haven't seen all winter, and played all afternoon outside. It was so good for all of us. Even baby Anna was smiling and cooing... THAT was wonderful!

Everyone's cruising on Christmas scooters from Grandma. I was so impressed with their coordination! Micah is like super Scooter rider!! He was on a mission to keep up with the big kids..

Of course, there were plenty of wonderful muddy puddles to ride through. And washing the scooters was just as big a thrill. :)
