New Camera

Our new camera came the other day in the mail! Our old one, the one we've had for five years, broke around Christmas time. We've been borrowing my cousin's camera since then and we've also been bugging her for camera advice and finally picked one.

We took more pictures last night than we did the day Chloe was born! :) It's an SLR camera so it can take pictures really fast - important with Miss-I-Never-Sit-Still Chloe :)

It's fun to use and takes some great pictures:
yes, this is a Merry Christmas bib....but it was laundry day :)

This is what happens when you ask Chloe to say "cheese" for the camera

pretty good grip on that crayon! :)

We've been busy this week with activities in the morning. I'm trying to switch Chloe over to one nap a day - sounds crazy, but up until this point she was still taking two 2-hour naps a day! Then, last week she started singing and talking during her afternoon nap instead of sleeping. So I thought maybe we'd try switching to just one....seems to be working okay so far!

My next post will be about Chloe at 18 months! Hard to believe she's a 1 1/2 year old! :)

Awww...great pics! That is awesome that Chloe was taking two 2-hour naps until now. I agree we need to arrange a visit sometime soon!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
