London's 1st Birthday

London's very first birthday was Sunday and we threw quite the shindig Saturday! We had 22 people in our tiny house but there is nothing more comfortable than a house full of love! It was awesome! London did great for her party... she played well and wasn't fussy and ate a HUGE piece of chocolate cake which she smashed all over her face! She has loved all of her new toys! This has been such a fun week!

I'm doing okay having a one year old... I just feel like over night she has grown up! She is so long and beautiful and can say so many little girl words... She's not little baby anymore, she's a little girl! I have loved every precious stage of babyhood and am absolutely looking forward to all the fun times to come with my little ladybug!

We went to the McWane Science center on Sunday and had a great time playing with all the cool stuff there!

 Baby pinhead!

February Days

Somewhere in the midst of a too gloomy, depressing, never ending winter, spring has sprung! Who knows if this is a temporary miracle, but I have been thanking the sweet Lord for this gorgeous weather! Lulu has too! We've been able to get out and go on walks, go to the park, visit the neighbors, were doing all kinds of fun stuff! Here are a few pictures from our last few weeks.

 Someone's moved up to a big girl car seat! I was hoping she'd love it but so far not so much. Were in a 'I hate the car' stage and I am sure hoping this phase passes quickly.

Cute Videos of the Kids

Here are a couple of cute videos of the kids. One of the kids doing jumping jacks... they are precious!

Fun with the Rheas

Now that London's in daycare, I feel like we never see the Rhea's anymore! So, we've been being very intentional about getting together as much as possible. I went over for dinner the other night and we got some cute pictures of the kidos. Caden and Liz got their very own softballs and softball gloves so they are all set for Charley's season to start! They are just so cute and I loved being around them!

This is Elizabeth's picture. She has been just drawing scribble, but she said 'Look tay tay. A rabbit.' And she had drawn this beautiful thing! I love it! It looks just like a rabbit!

Another picturless post

I PROMISE im working on getting pictures off my camera and on to the blog. I thought internet at home would help me with the blog, but being exhausted every night is a huge road block. I'm working on it so stick with me! I did take some new pictures of the twins, so i have the whole family to update on!
I don't have much new news, but just wanted to post about little bits and my amazing weekend! London was just precious all weekend and we did nothing in particular, but had the best time doing it! We visited with some girlfriends Friday and Saturday afternoons and went to a superbowl party Sunday night AND even got outside to enjoy the beautiful weather! It was snowing Saturday morning and by Sunday afternoon we were stripped down to single digit layers and taking a stroll! Amazing!
London has changed alot this week. When she doesn't know she's doing it, she can pull up and balance without holding on to anything... but as soon as she realizes she's flying solo, she grabs ahold of something. She blew a kiss to a boy... probably on accident, but she did it none the less! She can sign 'more' and 'all done' when were eating, and she gives the biggest, sweetest hugs you've ever had! She was all smiles this weekend and it sure made it hard to send her to daycare this morning. The 'I want to be a stay at home mom' beast has resurfaced, so I am trying to be super motivated that being a working mom is just as good! I just hate missing any time with my baby! She changes so fast and I wish I were there to watch more of it! I know this is where God has me though, so I will be joyful! I am tremendously thankful that we get to spend as much time together as we do! He has blessed me with a joy of a baby and for that, Im thankful!
Anyway, that's about all, but I just wanted to give you an update while I had a few free minutes! Pictures and videos to come! I promise!
