Spring has finally Sprung!!

It has been awhile since the last post, so this one will probably be a long one, just warning you. Spring has finally arrived here...see picture. The temps have warmed up and the kids are outside every chance they get. We have been pretty busy, especially the last couple of weeks. There are many nights where David gets home and I immediately leave for something. It seems like lately all we do is say hi and bye to each other!!




Grandma and Grampa Blaisdell came for a visit and the we had a great time with them. They helped finish a bunch of small projects around the house that needed to be finished and I am so grateful for their help. Thanks mom and dad. We drove down to Amish country for one of the days and got some great baked goods, yummy!! I got to go shopping for ME with my mom, which was a great treat. I even found some shorts, pants and shirts to buy, yippee!!!

Katelyn started soccer and really enjoys it. The games are rather entertaining, but as long as they have fun, that is what is most important. She is not very aggressive and tends to stay outside of the pack. She looks like she is dancing around the field at times instead of playing soccer!! I hate to admit it, but I am embarrassed for her sometimes because she is so funny to watch.

But hey, most of us probably were the same way and I am trying to remember that the purpose is just to have fun for now!

Maya started sleeping through the night (cue the Hallelujah chorus please!!). I have no idea why she chose now, and we have done nothing different, but she finally sleeps all night. Yeah!!!!! Sleep is such a wonderful thing. She has no teeth yet and has yet to roll over, I think the doctor may get on my case at our next appt, but oh well. She just loves to sit up and watch. She hates her tummy. She loves real food and has gotten very good at feeling herself Kix and such.

Jacob loves to be outside and to swing on the swingset. He learned how to "pump" by himself, which gives mom a nice break from having to push him!! He still loves to mow the lawn and said he wants to be a "mow lawner" when he grows up. He recently got a blister on his foot, or in his words a "blizzard that boomed (popped)" He used a lot of bandaids trying to make it feel better. We are currently working on getting him potty trained, ugh, double ugh. I hate potty training. But since he will be 4 years old in about 7 weeks, I figured the task could no longer be put off :) Wish us luck.
