Four-leafed Felicity

I scour over patches of clovers & I've found maybe a handful of 4-leafed clovers in my time, but I really have to look whereas my mom can spot them w/o even trying. Look who's taking over Grandma's gift? She spotted it all by herself. I just picked it for her. WEIRD!

Before Kids...

Before kids I would see a parent in a store using those ridiculous kids carts that don't have nearly enough room for you stuff b/c 80% of the cart is a 'race car'. Or I 'd see a mom carrying a baby and steering the cart one-handed while whispering to her 3 year old that no-that lady does NOT have a baby in her tummy. I get it now:

Baby's first bike ride!!! She loved it!

Happy Fathers Day

Elizabeth is 3 1/2. Felicity is 11 months. David spent 1:1 time with Felicity for a few hours while Doc (what Elizabeth is insisting on being called now-a-days) and I went out. Then David got his butt handed to him by a 3 yo in a rousing game of candy land. 
Felicity took 7 steps by herself today before crashing into Momma's arms and giggling with pride. 
David and I were saying that she really hadn't said her 1st meaningful word yet. Elizabeth was saying 'up' when wanting to be picked up. Well tonight Felicity was standing in the window watching David go by cutting the grass and she waved as he went by saying "Dada."  Shortly afterwards she was crawling down the hallway to me saying "Mama" over and over. She's changing so fast. While Elizabeth has me in stitches over how her little brain works. 
My family...

Bad year for bugs

And after a horribly cold, long winter ... the Mosquitos have been absolutely terrible. And this sweet baby is just candy to them.

Elizabeth quotes

My 3 yo tells me today: 

Elizabeth: "mom we should have another baby."

Me: "we already have Felicity & she's still a baby."

Elizabeth:"I'll take care of it."

Me: "what do we name it?"

Elizabeth: "pappe or sassu for a girl "

Me: " and if it's a boy?"

Elizabeth: "chachee"


Oh my.

Circus!

The 3 of us went to the circus (too loud for Felicity).  It was so much fun seeing the amazement in Elizabeth's eyes and how much she enjoyed it.  It's much more fun living it through your children!
David, Elizabeth, Christi & Dora!

I loved the elephants! I cannot believe they got one to balance on a ball!
 

"Shed" started ...

Last summer our cheap metal shed that came w/ the house picked up & flipped into the trees one storm. This spring we decided to replace it. After many hours at various hardware stores David said, "I can just build one, you know." So we started planning, and like the garage, the plans got bigger & bigger. He put down the base tonight & our previous 10x10 shed is now going to be 10 x 16 and we'll see how high. Can we say "more power?" (Grunt, grunt).
