Post Easter

Keira on Easter. We didn't take too many pics as it was a cold day and that was the last thing on our minds. But I did happen to snap a few of the baby. What a trooper. She didn't have a basket of her own but no need...it was so much more fun to watch the other kids collecting stuff that just happened to appear in our yard.

Peek-a-boo baby

So Nick and I were so amazed by our baby's smarts that we had to capture it on video. I know that many of you are thinking that babies are supposed to be doing this at her age, but we just like to think she's brighter than most other babies.

Spring Snow

So the spring snow came and went but not without so fun first. I decided to spend some time w/ the girls outside building a snowman. Well Livvy, learning at school all about penguins and Antarctica, decided she wanted to build an igloo. Not afraid of a challenge we set out to work. After an hour or so I was beat. I asked her, being only half way done, if a snow fort was cooler. Like she would somehow take my side over the idea of an igloo. "No mom we have to finish". Well I had taken a shower just before coming out thinking I would only be out there for a half hour or so but after almost 3 hours we finished our igloo. More like a snow cave but she didn't care. She wanted to have lunch in her new cave and a sleep over. She was pumped. Then the sun came out and about an hour after completion....kersplat! Our hard mornings work had collapsed into a heap of snow never even looking as though something had once been erected there. Her little heart was broken. I felt so bad that she didn't get to play in it more. Oh well. It was worth the hard work and sweat. Needless to say I had to take another shower. She really knew how to put me through the grinder!

Dance Recital

I know that I am late posting these pics as this event occurred approx. 3 weeks ago, but life is crazy. Livvy had her 1st dance recital at school and they did routines involving Antarctica. They have been learning about this continent for some time. They acted out taboggining and waddled like penguins and jumped over pools of puddles. She had so much fun and looked adorable.
