  Women dream of eyelashes like these.  So beautiful :)

April, September 2011 April, September 2012 Chloe, September 2011 Chloe, September 2012

....if you can't read it, April has somehow made the calculator say "error"....I can't even re-create it for another picture! ....

So much fun! Chloe has loved her new "clip board" and is constantly taking your 'order' for the 'restaurant'.  Don't order anything other than a cheeseburger and lemonade.  Her response will be "we not have that." :)

April is gearing up for Michelle's wedding (just 19 more days!) by polishing her dance moves: **special note: the song that April dances to is actually a Korean BoyBand....we listen to it because Mark & JungMin played it at their reception.... :) 

~ the steps were the perfect launch area for Chloe's parachute ~ I think she had fun :)

Cutest farmer I know :)

Look at me.... Those are the two things that Chloe always says as she "takes my picture" on her phone. Where she has learned that phones take pictures is a mystery, but I might know where she learned "say cheese....look at me" :)

April is big enough to turn around in her car seat! She was getting a little too big for the infant seat, but was heavy enough at her last dr's appointment to turn around! She spent her whole first ride watching out the window and didn't make a peep!  I'm sure this will change soon :)

Looking forward to seeing you!!  These girls are excited for your birthday :)

My first photographic evidence of Schnookms joining our family is April 7, 2011. and it's been love and more love for Schnookms ever since :)  I thought I should document how this baby spends a typical day: Breakfast with Chloe: In the morning she is usually hanging out with us, or taking a nap in Chloe's bed.  Then, she gets to watch tv with Chloe while April naps. During lunch she naps, and then in the afternoon she plays along with the girls.  Then she naps some more! :)  This was her resting spot while Chloe napped in the afternoon.  Sometimes I joke that she's my third child....although I don't think anyone's baby sleeps as much as this one does!!

When did she get so big?

After our dinner-time devotions, we usually go over a few Catechism questions.  April has caught on to two of the answers: This is all the way back from January, but I realized I never posted it.  It's the best way to learn as an adult -- have a toddler that you're trying to teach!! :)  Chloe can answer 20 questions, this video is of 16 I think....We hope that by teaching them these questions and answers, both Chloe and April will have a foundation on which to build their faith.  We pray that their hearts are softened to the Lord at a young age!!

I think this post will warm Grandpa's heart :) Our girls love books! Lately, they have been reading together.  This is mostly due to the fact that if you sit down, April will more than likely come and sit right next to you.  Their favorite reading spot? Behind the rocking chair in the living room.  It's like a hide-out! :)
