Catch-up






Yikes! How embarrasing that I'm just now posting pictures from Easter!! This is my catch-up post! Things are going well. Kate had her 6 month check up yesterday. She weighed 13lbs. and 14 oz. She's in the 25th percentile for length and weight and the 50th for head (big brains like her momma :)) Other than that we have been enjoying the weather and we're looking forward to our 3rd annual Derby party on Saturday.
I actually got teary-eyed getting Kate dressed! It was like I reverted back to when I dressed up baby dolls. I love dressing her up!
Lucas was not being very cooperative during pictures, but Kate was full of smiles!
I know that turkeys are for Thanksgiving, not Easter, but I had to give him props for finally getting something he's gone hunting for :)

Sunday Hike


Since today was going to be our last day of nice weather for a week or so we decided to go for a hike at Henryville State Forestry. Lucas was VERY excited.
We found a goose egg in the water. My pack-rat son would normally want to cart it around with us, but thankfully there was too much else to do!

The hikers! We went over lots of little bridges with Lucas, of course, as the leader! We'll definetly have to do this again!


Spring Saturday

We had great weather yesterday! We began our day by walking down to Cole and Nate's house to watch the Little League Parade! Nothing like a bunch of teams warming up their arms by throwing candy before their first game! Yikes! We MADE OUT! My kids will be so happy to see new candy in my candy box at school! Then we walked on to Easter Egg Hunt #2 at the American Legion, which started at 12, but for some reason they decided to start at 11:50. There were NO eggs left by the time we got there but the boys had fun playing on the playset and didn't seem too upset! The rest of the afternoon we played outside, took naps, and went for ice cream! These are the kinds of days I've been waiting for! Kate is doing much better. She still has a cough and lots of mucas after sleeping, but I think the worst is behind us! We DID have to go back to the Kosair ER last Sunday for the same problem. Her oxygen level was okay once they deep-suctioned her so we got to come home, thankfully! I am ready for warm weather to stick around and for my kids to be well! :)
Lucas likes to live dangerously....messing with my flowers.
We've had to discuss which ones are okay to pick and which ones aren't. So far so good....
Kate thinks Lucas hung the moon! Everything he does is funny! I love watching her watch him. He's such a good big brother!
