Spring is Finally Springing!

I dare not say or live under the delusion that "Spring has Sprung"! However, we found our first crocus blooming this morning and the grass is getting greener. We've definitely seen the outside world a little more over the past few weeks!

Daddy-Definitely the Fun Parent

Though I have the privilege of spending the most time with the kids, there is no doubt about it, Daddy is definitely preferred for "funs"! Weekends and evenings are certainly times the kids look forward to-from being carried around in laundry baskets to "Daddy Tiger", life is definitely better when Daddy is home.

Mowgli?

My little lumberjack is becoming a string-bean!!! When he runs around the house in his diaper I can't help but think that he looks like Mowgli!! I couldn't get a great shot of him because he was literally "running around" the house. He is really fast!

Celebrating 6 Years

(I know...the kids are cuter!!!)

February 15th marked the anniversary of our engagement. We celebrated by spending some time at the spot where the question was "popped"-the basilica and then went out to dinner. We had a FAT gift certificate which meant that we were able to get an appetizer, drinks, and dessert. We probably would have felt better if we didn't get all of that, but it's fun to splurge every once in awhile, especially on someone else's dime! One of the most memorable aspects of the dinner was a man who sat just a few tables away from us...Charlie Weiss. We now claim that we "went" to dinner with him, which is kind of funny, because though my husband would enjoy a dinner with him, there are certainly a lot of other people I would enjoy a bit more.

DELICIOUS!!!!

(As you may have noticed, blogging is not a top priority for this household...we have plenty of other things that keep us pretty busy. For those of you who actually view the blog, thank you and I'll try to be more consistent with posting photos of our rapidly growing children)!!

While I'm referring to the baby in this picture and not the asparagus that she is holding, I will mention that she thought the asparagus was quite delicious! She's been eating some solid foods for a few months now, but like her brother she prefers to feed herself so much so that when big sister's plate was within reach, she snatched a piece of asparagus and gobbled it right up. Her big sister, who recently became a veggie-hater was quite delighted and even offered her more. We are so grateful for the blessing this baby has brought to our family and all of the good things she has brought out of each of us. It's been a delight to see how much happier the older two are now with their baby sister around. I think we would all agree that there are many words that we could use to describe her and how much we enjoy her, but the one that comes to mind the most (given the amount of hugs and kisses she is given) is DELICIOUS!!!

*I know it looks like her face is unhappy, but she smiles with such a big-open mouth sometimes. She's actually very happy in this photo.
