No, not this one. Miss C was throwing a tantrum.....

This one. What kind of advice do you think daddy is sharing with his son?

This one melts my heart, too.

And my shadow, and the beautiful blue sky, the trees, my lovely hubby and son.

family visits are such a delight.

Living three hours or less from family has been wonderful. We've had more family visits than we can count and C&C are delighted with the extra attention. And, we love the break, too!
My sister, hubby Ed, and three nieces visited last weekend. C&C loved the spoiling from each and every one of them! Chloe is glammed up with Andrea's sunglasses and cell phone. Connor looks a bit jealous, doesn't he?
C&C playing with Ella, Anna and Andrea. I'm not sure who had more fun playing, my kids or my nieces~!
They fully enjoyed going down the slide, although not the normal way. It didn't stop them! Note Connor getting in position before Chloe is even at the bottom.

The look on his face is priceless!

Say it with me...."wwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

My college friend, Jen, visited us bearing gifts from many holidays. She even put together the play kitchen and table! Of course, the short people had to help her a bit.

A few days before Jen's visit, Chad's parents, brother, another brother and his family and his other brother...are you confused yet? Anyway, Chad's family arrived for a nice Saturday visit. My in-laws ever brought all the food! How sweet is that? The visit was great, too.

Later, Jennie

St Patrick's Day at home.

I believe we were outside more than we were inside this day. After the zoo, we enjoyed more time outside!

St Patrick's Day at the Zoo.

Holding tight to bunny, that poor lovely was quite dirty by the end of the day.

I think he's making a run for it.

Chloe green bottoms.....

The glass wall was less than one inch think. It was pretty amazing to be that close to a tiger!
We had an absolutely fabulous time at the zoo with my wonderful friend, Lori, and her beautiful twin girls, B&N. The weather was perfect, we both snagged a parking spot close to the entrance and the animals were happy to have visitors!

leaps and bounds.

I've been gently nudged to get some new info posted......Here are some pictures from March. C&C are keeping me busy as they push play chairs to the kitchen counter to see what is up there, as Connor inches along on the six inch ledge along the basement stairs, when Chloe makes the first tub turd....Thankfully bath time was over, the water was drained and Chloe was standing, waiting to get out. Oh, and all this happened in ONE DAY. YES, ONE DAY!!!
Honestly, while it is tiring, it is fun to see their advances and learning where my limits are (no walking on the ledge to the basement, ok to stand on the couch if the cushions are all on the floor). Honestly, I could be telling them nonononono ALL day, and it would just encourage them to do more of the things I do not want them to do.......
