healthy snacking

For some reason it puffs my feathers up when my kids are eating (and liking) healthy things....Never did I think they'd all three eat celery!

Boys night

Abby and Chris went to go see "Planes" tonight, Abby's first movie theater experience (she keeps calling it "Cars Planes!")! I was able to take a few pics without her dancing between them and me! That girl always wants to be the spotlight. I made homemade pizzas (publix pizza dough) and now the boys are happily feeding themselves ("quit spoon feeding us mom!") The boys are playing "peek-a-boo" with each other: Caleb patiently waits for Eli to turn his head back towards him and then they both scream for joy!

"Give us our pizza!!!"

and we're back

There were several reasons I stopped posting on my blog, which makes me sad because it sure would've been nice to have documented the last 16 months. Maybe I'll try and post some momentous occasions, like the birth of Elijah and Caleb, and then their first birthdays, and then when they started walking, and then when they started getting into EVERYTHING! They keep Abby and I busy during the day that's for sure! Chris brought home a laptop from work (that they were going to throw away because it was out of warranty) so now it makes it possible for me to update this blog (one of the very few bad things about only using an ipad)! Anyway... for Molly, Mary Anne, and Mrs. Munz (and maybe Gram and Grandad?), I'm really going to try to update this thing!! And I'm sorry but I currently only have one picture of one kid on the ipad that I can email and try to post right now. This is Eli trying to do what Caleb LOVES (and that is to pretend to vacuum right along with me). He's so not into it like Caleb - at one point he was actually lying on the floor with this vacuum!

More post and more pictures to come soon - Promise!

Some pictures from our front yard...

Mud Puddles in the back yard!

Abby loves to do whatever mommy is doing. She is even repeating things I say: "I like...", Abby: "I like... too!" If mommy is laying on the floor because her belly hurts, Abby is laying on the floor because her belly hurts too!
