Recent pictures

Uncle Chad came last month and we went to Dave and Buster's. Some photos:

Michael needs a hair cut.
Store bought birthday cupcake cake to celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa while they were visiting. Michael's favorite color is green, so this was a hit!

Michael continues to take good care of his baby. Here he is "reading" a Magic Tree House book to his baby.
Michael making playdoh with his speech teacher. He has "graduated" to the next level...and already I'm underwhelmed. It's been over a week and no one has called to schedule a speech appointment. Even though they told me it had to be done by his 3rd birthday. Whatev's.
Andrew's class had another play. He was a blue bird. In case you couldn't tell.



We've been practicing bike riding. Our kids are bike-retarded. Seriously. Andrew has not a clue how to balance...and he is too big for training wheels anymore. -sigh-
Visiting the nearby historical farm. Love this place. It is baby animal time at the farm. We saw 7 day old lambs and 3 week old piglets.

Andrew also made friends with the farm cat, Patches, who was thrilled to cuddle in the sun on a warm lap. It was a bit of a struggle to get him up off Andrew's lap.
? Don't know why I took this poorly lit picture of the kids coloring.

Buy a balance bike for the two youngest. HUGE hit with Charlie and not near as scary to me as those darn training wheels which cause the bike to rock from side to side. We went with the wodden version because I got it half-off.

My kids are no good on bikes either. Michael won't pedal, his legs are finally long enough (and I am talking about a tricycle) but he still refuses. Harper has outgrown her small bike but is scared of the big one, even with training wheels...

Love Michael and his baby!

Oh goodie! I am so THRILLED to know someone else's 7-year-old is bike-retarded. N is a big ole chicken and won't have at it. We got her a balance bar for the back of the bike, but she is still scared.
G at least attempts to ride his small 2-wheeler (with training wheels).
The bluebird costume will make for some great blackmail later in Andrew's life.
