A top ten in no particular order

Wow....it has been quite a while. Life here is so very busy.  To the extent that my organizational prowess is very lacking.  Last night involved baseball practice for someone.  Not sure who...or when.  Took the boys to practice and ordered Luke to find a coach at the field, look over the roster and figure out who had practice.  Yeah...no one.  Sean has practice on Tuesdays at 5:30, I learned.  It was Thursday.  However, we were out of town on Monday and Tuesday, so Thursday felt like Tuesday, which felt like practice.  It is a new season.  A beginning of baseball season, and a new season of life.  Very busy...but I wouldn't want it any other way.  So in no order, because frankly, I don't have enough time to scroll through 4 months of pictures, here are some things we've been up to.

1.  Lucy (aka Lulabelle) turned 2!  She is full of words, well paragraphs actually.  This is making life so much better.  She is less "fussy" than she has been in the past.  She sleeps better.  And she is now, a big kid, who wants to hang with the big kids.  She loves all her siblings and is quite the little mother to Thomas and her dolls. She has her daddy wrapped around her little finger, although he places her in time-out quite a bit (she likes to scream these days).  She loves Diego, so her birthday was Dora/Diego.  We enjoyed celebrating her and are so thankful she is part of the family.




 2.  Sarah Clare had a birthday as well.  A big Hobbit party which involved a hobbit menu and inn in which to be served, a hobbit hole cake, a hobbit scavenger hunt, a dragon slaying archery game....very few pictures due to the "death" of the memory card.  (thanks Lucy).  Sarah is such a gift.  She helps keep the house moving and loves her siblings fiercely.  I am so thankful for her generous heart and giving spirit.  The Lord blessed us tremendously by gifting us with her.







3.  Spring has sprung.  It has taken quite a long time. But our days are filled with trips outside and to parks.

4.  Learning all the time.  Dad brought home dry ice from work.  We then learned all about states of matter and changes between states...and made messes, like usual.
