A little teaser...

We are enjoying our time with Leah's family in California. It's been a busy- but fun- Spring Break thus far. We thought these pictures were worthy of an out of town post. We hope you enjoy them!

This one's for you, Andrea-

Well, I wouldn't call this a green thumb yet, but we do have some tomato seedlings that are sprouting.

We made it!

On Friday Sam and Maggie turned 18 months old. Here are the specs from this mornings Dr. visit:

Sam: 31 lbs 7oz
35 inches tall

Maggie: 28 lbs 11 0z
33 inches tall

And no, we have not dropped under the 90th percentile yet for these two. I don't even think that they were below the 95th anywhere. (Geez! What are they feeding these kids?) I had high hopes that at least one of them would hit the 80s this time around, but no luck. So, my beast babies are now home, soon to be doped up on tylenol, and happy to be watching Lady and the Tramp at the moment.

Thanks for the help this morning Debbie, it was a HUGE blessing to this mom. :-)

Keeping up with the Parkers

Well, I figure that if Kate is getting in trouble for not posting often enough, then I probably have it coming as well. So here are some pics to appease those Aunts and Grandmas. :-)


The kids have discovered that they can get rides on Eric's back. Ohh, boy is it fun!
Sam is proudly showing off his tongue for the camera.
And Mags is showing us that not only does she have a nose, but Sam does too. Sam has figured out how to climb up on the kitchen chairs. He now prefers to take his juice their also. Big boys drink big juice at the big table, right?

Hhhmmm.

This picture needs no introduction....I hope. (we have to be equitable, right?)

Tired of dress up yet?

One would think that the kids would get tired of running around with hats and glasses on...but no. With so many choices of things to wear - why quit?

Here's lookin' at you Grandma!

Maggie sported her new denim skirt this week. Actually she got it for her birthday, but it's the biggest 2T I have ever seen. We think it's a great look with the bunny slippers. Sam and Maggie don't always get along, but the other evening they wanted to sit in the chair and read together. Very cute.
Some couch time with Dad is needed every now and then.
