Happy Easter!

Spencer & Bryce got to celebrate Easter morning at Mimi's, with a few extra surprise treats! Who knew that chicken's lay easter eggs?! And they planted seeds that the easter bunny had left the night before, watered them, and then the seeds had magically turned to lollipops in the morning!! And the biggest entertainment of the weekend was watching Mimi's new washing machine at work!!

Spring storm

Last week I was out raking the lawn and checking out all the bulbs coming up ... then on Thursday we woke up to ~8 heavy inches, school canceled, and no power for 12 hours! And with no power, we had no running water, which made Julie's outhouse look good!

Happy Spring!

Sorry about the crazy colors ... I just had to brighten things up a bit!!!

Just Couldn't Wait!

The boys have been begging to dye Easter Eggs, so we got an early start today! Of course ~ 'Cars' stickers! Despite thier obsession, I just couldn't resist. Bryce's final masterpiece!

Welcome Sophia Grace!

Sophia Grace joined the world at 10:10pm Friday night! She was 8 pounds, 13 ounces, with a full head of hair. Mere had a very long day, but all are doing well now. These pictures are from Pop's cell phone, for some reason I forgot my camera. Spencer was thrilled that he got to hold Sophia, and so cute giving her gentle hugs and kisses! Uncle Shawny was very proud, too!

Pregnant Mama Snowman!

This is as far as we got making our snowman last week! I couldn't lift up the snowball sections, so the boys decorated him as is, and this is how he remains!

Fun in Maine!

The boys had a great time with Grammy & Grampa and at least 8 inches of fresh fallen snow this past weekend!

Bryce's idea of snow shoeing!

Loving this new sledding trail, especially the jump they were just about to go over!

Even Mommy enjoyed it, but the jump at the end was a bit too much for my fragile belly!

Happy Birthday Wishes

Kitchen Curtains!

After almost a year and a half, I finally managed to make curtains for the kitchen windows! What picturesque windows ... I think curtain companies should come here to take their advertising photos!! 

Baby #4

It's for real!!! We're expecting again! Here's the first glimpse ... head is on the left, big belly on the right. The little line in between the two oval shapes is the baby's arm, and the legs are actually curled up at the bottom of his/her belly. Due date is September 12th! 

Ms. Q and Mr. U tie the knot!

Spencer's class had a wedding last week ... Ms. Q and Mr. U are now married, so they'll always be together in words! Spencer was selected to play the role of Mr. U! He did fabulous, although he appeared a bit overwhelmed at times! The room was filled with parents and a few grandparents, plus another class of students. Ms. Fagan was "Commander of the Dictionary", and the Best Letters were A and D.  

Fun With Mimi & Grumpers

Grumpers still working ... such a special treat for the boys! Great fun with the fresh falling snow today ... 3 or 4 inches of wet sticky white stuff! Even though I'm ready for spring, it sure was beautiful today.

Our Two Cuties

These pictures were taken down at Helene's. The boys were having a blast on the frozen pond ... Spencer would be brave enough to put on skates already. Bryce was quite content to be pushed around the ice on a folding chair, although had he not been vomiting for 2 days before this, he might have been just as brave as Spencer!  

It's a good thing he's soooooo cute!

Bryce was having a bit of fun with the squirt bottle! Can you hear that belly laugh? 

Last week's ice storm

Yes, this is ice on the inside of the windows ... think it's time for replacements? I'm at least trying to convince Shawn that it would be beneficial to get insulating blinds. And Grier thought our Wrentham house was cold! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Bryce!

Bryce's choo choo train cake made by Mommy & Aunt Julie ... fully edible, except for the signs borrowed from the train set to cover up Caz's indulgence. New train quilt from Mimi! Everyone was jealous of this one! A little help making the cake from our chocolate lover!
