I'm Sorry

I am truly sorry to all of our faithful followers that I have not blogged but our time has been consumed by life... crackling phone service so we cannot contact anyone, water heater spraying out its side and top so we have not had any water to our house for 2 days because of course the ingenius people who put in the water heater did not put in a valve so we could just turn off the heater, and we have become the tutoring center for fractions, algebra 1 and 2, and accounting so now we spend our evenings trying to recall formulas and definitions from ten years ago but hey its been fun. Hope you are still sticking with us and we will return to blogging soon

We love you Uncle Chris!

It was so good to see you Uncle Chris. Your friend Micah was so funny. Thanks for playing "tickle monner" with me and reading me books! We will see you in May. We love you!

Andrea loves her dadda

Daddy I hope you enjoy this video.



She started saying dadda home soon at breakfast this morning.

On Sunday we got to go to Mass with grandmama. It has been nice having my mom around and see how much Andrea loves playing with her. She came to the Easter egg hunt at the St. Mary's playground after church with us and held Charlie so we could keep up with Andrea while she was "Runnin, Runnin FAST" to get the eggs.

Babies' First Easter (Charlie and Kaitlyn)


Thanks aunt Gina for the pic of kaitlyn and charlie. Too cute!

Look Everyone, Two Hands!

Charles discovered that he could hold things with two hands today so he was chomping away on his lion and fish teethers. I know it's a small thing but exciting at the same time. Oh but of course the new accomplishment for Charles means new struggles for Annie. Since her brother was holding the fish and lion you can guess who else all of sudden wanted to play with them. Sibling rivalry, here we go!

Tickle Monnerr

Monica and Nate stopped by in the afternoon the other day so we were chilling on the deck. Andrea is obsessed with the "Tickle Monnerr" now. She cannot wait for someone to chase her down and tickle her until she can bearly stand it anymore. Even at night now, we'll be laying her down and she'll give us her convincing grin and repeat "tickle monnerr" over and over again.
