Spring???

 Each on their own swing!  

 Mae-Mae was very proud to swing on a big girl swing!

 Kellen took over the baby swing

 Getting a little push from big sister

 So much easier to be on your belly!

 Paying it forward...pushing Kellen

 Throwing berries off the "bridge"

 ACTION!

 The bridge also becomes a stage

Taking a turn on the baby mat.

It's hard for us to believe it is the end of January.  With temps in the upper 60's, it feels like spring down here!  We are all waiting for snow, but realize it just may not be in our cards this year :(  Regardless, we are  enjoying being able to run off some energy in the afternoons!

The Sickies

 Actually there were four sickies, but one can't stand yet!  What happens when you're sick and can't go anywhere?  Momma doesn't fight about what clothes you wear.  Nice looking bunch, huh?

 You also can fall asleep wherever you please, and not worry about anyone waking you up, because Momma is just happy to have a break!

 And because you took a nap late, you get to help with the dishes!

 And play with play-doh too!

And catch a lizard that came inside to use a kleenex.  He must have had a cold too.

A Little Love

 My big baby boy.  Lots of smiles!

These two are cute together!  Nealy can get some great smiles and coos from Kellen! 

 Invaders.  These two bed bugs love the wrong bed.  To their defense, they've been sick :(

 Telling us a very serious story

 Kellen also had his first tub tubby!  He usually takes showers with Wes, but Daddy wasn't home and he was stinky!  He very much enjoyed himself, until....

She came to visit.  Who wants to take a tubby alone anyway???

Kellen's TWO months and other updates!

 He's two months old!

 Nealy and Aidan really are best of friends :)  Here they are waiting for the mail.

 Kellen got to nap outside in January!

 Maeve found her shadow and was waving to it!

 Wes' cousin Barbie and her husband Mike (not pictured!) came by for a quick visit.

 Maeve loves to pray before she eats...and wear her bib backwards!

 Bubba reading one of his new books, he loves superheroes these days!

 Kellen is now 2 months old!  It's amazing how much he has grown already.  The kids have adapted well since his arrival, can't imagine life without him!  He was in the 95% for height and the 75% for weight after his check up last week.  He hasn't let his reflux or milk allergy keep him from growing!  We all love getting smiles from Kellen, Nealy seems to get the most out of him these days!

Happy 2012!

We took the kids to First Night Kids in Uptown, they got their faces painted.

Nealy was chosen to help a mime as a volunteer

She had a blast!

We hung out at home and rung in the new year!

My girls

My boys!

Little Miss

We shared some sparkling grape juice.

We had a fun evening!  The kids danced with Daddy in the kitchen, and watched some prep for the "big Ball" to drop.  Only Bubba made it to midnight, the girls made a good showing lasting until 10 and 11!  

Happy New Year!
