Frogs, Toads and Turtles

We went to Memorial Park today. We saw more frogs, toads and turtles than you can imagine! (Like probably 40 of them!) There were some nice boys who would catch them and let us examine them and then put them back in the water. Both girls were just giggling and then the giggles turned into belly laughs when they would jump all over the place.

Easter 2012

Ella Moves Out!

Over Spring Break, Ella made her big transition to her "big girl bed" and moved out of her crib and in with her big sis, Addi! While things aren't perfect (Ella still feels the need to body slam her bed and giggle at times while falling asleep), she has successfully napped all week and slept at night. I think Addison while doesn't necessary "love it" yet, she is happy to have company and someone to talk to:) Here is a picture of her on the last morning she slept in her crib. We told her she wasn't going to sleep in her crib anymore because she was now a "BIG girl"! I think she really brought into it!

Now we have about 7 more weeks until Baby Baier moves into the crib...can't wait!

Growing up Girls

It's hard to believe Addison is 3 1/2 already and Ella is turning 2 this summer already! We are enjoying the warm Spring and sunshine. Addison is getting ready for her recital at the end of April. We are all getting ready to be a family of five in less than 2 months! Over Spring Break, Ella will be transitioning to her "big girl bed". Say some prayers as Addison and Ella will be sharing a room:) We'll keep you posted as to how that goes! There are both great sleepers and we hope that continues as they are roomies!

We're a Two Van Fam

We loved our Toyota minivan so much since we "outgrew" the station wagon we had, we brought another Toyota minivan. We are now the proud owners of 2 minivans:) We do love 'em though! The girls were troopers while we traveled out of town to make the purchase and waited patiently about 4 hours but by the time we left, Ella was feeling a little tired and hungry - not a good combination-see photo for more details:)

Train Ride Time (AKA: Laundry Time:)

We are keeping busy during the Winter months. Ella is learning more and more words everyday and finding new things to explore. Addison is enjoying making out her Valentine's Day cards and practicing writing her name (she is pretty proud of herself)!

18 weeks and growing!
