Just as cute as they can be...

Friday was McKenna and Keeghan's preschool's "SpringFest". The children were to present a short program and then the families would picnic together. Here are the girls in their "costumes":

First, the girls paraded around the church's fellowship hall (big enough to hold a full size basketball court). Keeghan and her friends were pushed around in the "baby buggy" that is big enough to hold six babies. McKenna's class walked around with McKenna holding her finger in her mouth, looking anywhere but where the parents were. Then each of the classes had their performance. Keeghan's class sat in their baby buggy while a song was played on the piano. McKenna's class shook, clapped and jumped their sillies out. McKenna ate it up! She just loved being front and center and participated in most of the performance.

Words cannot express how precious this was! I encourage you to ask Don to show you the video when at our house -- it is priceless! Makes this mama cry.

Sunday = Fun day

Our apologies for taking so long between posts, but we've been too busy dealing with all the little things in life that aren't really worthy of a post.

Yesterday, with the nice weather, we decided to get back on track and have some fun in the back yard. Camdyn was looking forward to jumping and finally got her chance. Both she and McKenna also showed off some of the skills they've learned in their gymnastic classes.

And on Monday, Keeghan had her first spaghetti dinner:

Our 3 Bunnies Wish you a Happy Easter!

Grandparents and Grandchildren

Marcey spent the weekend at a retreat for women of the church, so my parents visited to keep things in order. While the kids were in school on Friday, mom and dad took advantage of the free time to visit a racing team shop. Here is dad educating mom on the finer points of building a race car:

On Sunday, we took advantage of the nice weather to visit the NC Zoo an hour away.

We had a good time riding the statues:



Pretending to be a ferocious animal awakening from sleeping in a cave:


And enjoying the antics of a polar bear out for a swim:

I hope Grandma and Pap-pap had a good time. I know we did!

Imagine this...

I am sitting in my office, a.k.a. back wall of the dining room, trying to finish up some work. In comes the "boombox" escorted by two lovely little girls. Sound fills the room (literally! it is loud in here), disney songs accompanied by the verbratto, full volume voice of Camdyn. McKenna is doing something that could be interpreted as a rain dance on tiptoes, occassionally bending over to touch the ground mid motion. Disputes over the song. Start one, forward to another, back. I think the little mermaid is on REPEAT! Measuring tapes and swiffers as microphones. Camdyn looks like a rock star swaying with her extended measuring tape... Too bad there won't be any pictures... I don't want to miss a moment of my work concert!

Never a dull or QUIET moment here. Although, I might have to stop the revelry soon, my chandelier is swaying to the beat.

On a plus note, I *think* we may all be healthy again. Knock on wood. McKenna seems to have recovered from her viral thing and ear infection. I am hoping Camdyn doesn't decide to cry in her sleep over ear pain again tonight. The ear drops should be working after day 2, right? I need my sleep! OOPS! Spoke too soon, Camdyn just got her fingers caught in the pocket door. Screams, tears, apologies, hugs and ice. All is well again. That and she FINALLY realized Little Mermaid is on repeat.

I am off to work at the clothing exchange at church in the morning. Nothing like sorting racks and shopping on 50% off day at the same time! Got some great things for the girls on Wednesday night at the presale.

BTW, wondering where Don is in all this? Upstairs, hiding! Keeghan went to bed 30 mins ago.

For Aunt Jennifer's approval...

First You Learn To Crawl, Then...

At last, Keeghan has figured out how to go forward. It's a combination of a military crawl and using any leverage she can find to launch forward. She's learning to coordinate her body movement to get what she wants, mostly drawer handles that are located near the floor. I haven't figured out a good way to post video, but realized at this pace, time lapse might even be better.
