Catching-Up

Here are a few things about the kids...

1. Samantha has learned to "stash" things on the top shelf of her closet if she wants to keep them away from Blake. She can stand on her hamper and reach stuff if it's on the edge but Blake can't quite make it yet.

2. Travis was working on the dishes on evening and cracked a glass while transferring it from one sink to the other. Samantha told him he'd better be careful because he's getting old!

3. Blake has really worked on his "l" sound. He pronounces it so well!

4. Blake has used the word "delicious" and "beautiful." It's so cute coming from his little mouth.

5. Samantha wanted to surprise me one evening by cleaning her room. Her room was out of control and I told her I'd help her with it right before stories. Well, she told me to stay out and after a bit I offered to help and she refused. This went on several times and when Travis came home (he worked late that night) she took his help. It was so endearing to me and made her spic and span room so much more beautiful.

Getting ready to shop with monkey.

Monkey sometimes has to come shopping with us.

Our Sunday morning tradition is Starbucks.  Samantha gets a hot cocoa.

While we were waiting for Dad we decided to check out the lawn mowers.

Samantha's friend Gianna and her sister Alexa came over to play one day.

Samantha designed these snowman and helped Blake make his with a little help from Mom.

Blake loves his monkey!

Spring is in the air and the kids are LOVING being outside whenever possible.
