Happy Birthday, LC!

Three years ago today, God gave me the prettiest, sweetest, most special girl in the whole world. I am still in shock sometimes knowing that I have a little girl who loves dresses and dollies and proclaims pink as , "my favorite color." You are finding your independence and exerting it often but are the most affectionate little thing. You love to play "mommy and daddy" with Henry and your dolls and do not understand why he wouldn't want to play it all.the.time.

Although today is the real birthday, we celebrated it yesterday because Todd has a meeting tonight and will be home long after the kids are in bed. LC's only request for her cake was that it have "pink flowers." So, pink flowers it was. It is hard for me to believe that my baby is now three. But, we are having so much fun it makes me look forward to what is to come.

First Holy Communion...

Yesterday was Wyatt's First Communion and it turned out to be a perfect, perfect day. The weather was gorgeous, the kids, for the most part, were healthy after a week of Henry being sick, and all his grandparents were in town to witness it. The service was packed since there were 40 kids celebrating today, but it moved fairly quickly. We then moved the celebration to dinner at Dunhill's Steakhouse, which was great, as always. It was topped with Wyatt's favorite cake.

I would be lying if I didn't admit to being very teary today when I saw Wyatt in his suit and walking down the aisle. He looked so grown up, it almost took me by surprise. I am so proud of the little man he is becoming.

Here he is walking down the aisle towards us:

Sweet Dreams

Yesterday, Henry went down for a nap, which he still needs 50% of the time. After a couple of hours I went in to wake him up and didn't see him in his bed. I walked into the very dark room and couldn't see him anywhere. I finally heard his steady breathing and found him curled up in between his bed and his dresser, sound asleep, clutching his brand new baseball hat for his new T-Ball team, The Storm.

Happy Easter!

It was a quiet day for us, thankfully, since Todd is not feeling well. We went to Mass this morning and then came home so that the kids could find their Easter baskets. The "bunny" only brings books and a little candy, which the kids like, "since we already have a lot of toys." LOL




LC had to put on her Dora necklace that came with a book as soon as she saw it.



Oh look, more Star Wars books...



Henry excited over sweet tart chicks...

Coloring Easter Eggs...

We colored Easter eggs yesterday after Henry and LC were done with swimming lessons. The kids loved doing it and were pretty independent about it. Henry and Wyatt dunked and retrieved there own eggs while Lauren still needed a little help.








Is that baby girl a ham for the camera, or what?

Update!!!

I pulled the other tooth on the school playground while being recess Mom two days ago.

I can't get enough of that toothy grin.:)

My Little Snaggletooth...

The other morning I had run upstairs to get something from LC's bedroom when Wyatt walked in with a washcloth against his teeth. He proceeded to tell me that his tooth was bleeding which immediately gave me the creepy crawlies. As anyone who knows me, at all, knows that I have major teeth issues and can't stand loose teeth that can be wiggled. Ugh. I have goose bumps just describing it. Anyways...Wyatt tells me that his tooth is really loose, so I offer to pull it.*gulp* He says he doesn't know, so, I have him open his mouth, go behind him, grab his tooth and pull it out before he can even protest. *shudder* Luckily, he proclaimed that it didn't even hurt and happily went back downstairs to get his coat on to go to school, leaving me standing there with the disgusting little sucker. *eye twitch*

5 down, umpteen and two kids more to go.
