Vacation!!

Abby picked out this shirt the other day to let me know she was ready for vacation!

New Hairdo

The other day I was playing with Abby's hair and came up with this hairstyle!  I can't believe that she isn't even 6 months yet I can already put her hair in a ponytail (a Pebbles Flintstone ponytail nonetheless but still a ponytail!)

Sweet Girls

Trucks and tools

Sarah is very much into princesses right now however she still has a place in her heart for trucks and tools.  They recently started building another house in our neighborhood and she is fascinated!  Everyday she sits by the window and watches them.  Today the trucks weren't outside and she kept asking, "What happened trucks, Mama?"  I'm so glad it is getting warmer so we can just spend the morning going outside and watching the trucks!

Princess joined us for this truck watching adventure.

Here is a photo from last July when she was doing the same thing :)  What are we going to do when they stop building houses? 

We recently went to the Bob the Builder exhibit at the Children's Museum.  Sarah had fun playing with all of the tools.

Feet

Abby pretty much likes anything that she can get into her mouth these days!  Watch out for your hands if you are holding her!  Recently she has discovered her feet.....

Here is a picture of Sarah at the same age.  Who knew feet were so yummy?

Family Band

A toy for all ages.....

This is where I found Sarah one day after I had taken Abby upstairs for a nap. Apparently it is still entertaining for two year olds.

Rolling Over

This post is a little late but Abby rolled over about 3 weeks ago. She had rolled from back to tummy a couple of times in her crib but didn't really know what she had done. In this video, she rolled from tummy to back. She still doesn't do it regularly and honestly prefers to be in her exersaucer, bouncer or propped up by pillows...she's too big for this laying down stuff :) In this video I just got the tail end of her rolling but you get the idea. Why do they always stop once you pull the camera out?

Euchre Night

Every month we get together with the Jameses, Harberts and Macks to play Euchre. Two years ago when we started playing the only children around were Lily and Sarah! Now we have six children! This was the first Euchre Night in 18 months that one of us was not pregnant and we finally got a picture of all of the kids. I'm sure in the coming years there will be more children and hopefully some more boys :) Aren't they adorable?
From L to R: Abby-4 mths, Sarah-2, Anabelle-9 mths, Lily-2, Violet-5 weeks, Connor-5 mths

The other amazing thing is that we got all six kids asleep and were able to play a full night of Euchre!

Mr. Snowman

We finally got outside on a warmer day and built a snowman! Here was our creation: He even had two eyes made out of coal. Daddy and Sarah posing with their creation:
