So I don’t have ALL of the pictures to put up, but I wanted to get a few up on here. On Saturday we went up to the Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon with Carrie. It took us an extra hour to get there, and then the girls got tired quickly so we didn’t get to spend too much time with the fields, but we did get some cute pictures. I will need to get some from Carrie since she took the pictures with all four of us in them. Isabell was cute as usual, and wanted to touch every single flower (though didn’t ask to pick them…). We had lunch in the Roozengard Gardens, and got a chance to see all the different types of flowers. Saturday night we went to an impromptu BBQ at Beth’s with the Henderson/Lapsansky gang, and Isabell had a THIRD egg hunt (first was at PCC last weekend, then the bunny visited Shelly’s house last week). She enjoyed looking in the trees for the eggs; we almost couldn’t find one!! She is getting very good at telling the dogs to “Stop it” and “Go away!”. Mia, in true Mia form, went easily to Debbie, but didn’t want much of anyone else. She is turning into quite the daddy’s girl, which was evident on Sunday afternoon. After baskets, church and naps, Nashon and Isabell went out to attempt to start a garden in our back yard. Amelia saw Nashon though the window and just about had a cow when he started to walk away. As soon as I took her outside and handed her to him she was nothing but smiles. 🙂

The Easter Bunny found the girls at our house this morning, and Isabell has been enjoying frequent Peeps; I think it a very good thing that they are only out once a year, or our lives would be awful with her asking for them every 10 minutes. Right now they are being eaten when she tinkles on the potty; she has had 2 days of dry diapers except at nap and bed times. This INCLUDED the trip to the festival; she tinkled in her little potty in the back of the car AND in a port-a-potty.

The last few pictures are from Isabell’s project today. She created her own “very hungry caterpillar” book this afternoon. She did ALL of the gluing by herself. Then when she was done she turned the book around and read it to me, one page at a time. She was careful to point out each of the pictures to me, and asked me to help her count the fruit.

Amelia is getting better at rolling over! She is consistently going tummy to back, and is about 95% of the way over when she goes from back to tummy. She is trying to get from sitting into hands and knees, but tends to get one leg stuck under her, and if you try to help she extends all her extremities and goes flat on her tummy. I can’t believe how fast time flies, and how big she is already! She will be 8 months old next week…
