Redhead is Growing up!

Just thought I'd share a pic of my big girl.  She's used the potty twice with success & we will be visiting that milestone more this summer.  I'm in a hurry to stop buying diapers, but not in a hurry for messes & inconvenient trips to the Target bathroom. She talks a bunch & tries her hardest to keep up with her sisters. Her favorite show is Caillou (much to Daddy's & my dismay).  We've been through that phase twice already! Her favorite book is Cat's Pajamas. And her other favorite thing is the Rainbow playset in our backyard.  She loves to swing.  She really wants to accomplish all tasks by herself & I frequently get the comment, "I do it." She is a funny little girl & we get great laughs from her antics each day.

Happy Easter Week!

If my kids are like me, one of their fondest memories will be dying Easter eggs.  It was such a special thing to do each Easter & I loved it.  Grandma was visiting & helped the girls make beautiful creations. As you can see, Addi dropped an egg in dye & it splashed her forehead.  When do kids stop making messes??????  Peter Cottontail is coming on the brunette's birthday so Easter is extra special this year.  But really, Easter is so special every year, because I am humbled by Jesus' sacrifice for my eternal salvation.  I am so grateful  to be saved.  So to celebrate my daughter's birth and Christ's resurrection in the same day, now that's just awesome.  Happy Easter!

Puppies! Puppies!

ROSIE

MIMI

So long status quo!  We brought home Miss Rosie & Miss Mimi last weekend. They are Yorkie Poos & they have the look of a yorkie more than a poodle.  Needless to say, we are having a blast with them.  So happy & full of life.... just what we needed!  The  girls have been begging for a dog for a long time, and their wish has come true.  Since our house in Eden Prairie sold (yes!), we feel like Tonka Bay is officially home & it was time for new family members.  Rosie was love at first site for me & Francesca claimed Mimi, so that's how we came home with 2.  Why not?  Gotta train one, might as well do two.  Plus, it's twice as much fun!
