Children's Museum

We spent a weekend visiting my college roommates, Kathi and Lisa, at the Indianapolis children's museum - have our activities changed since college or what?

Everyone loved the dinosaurs both the big and the little people

Evan and Daddy peaking out from the dinosaur exhibit - I believe that is a small dinosaur attempting to nibble at them.

Lily, Daddy and Lisa are getting ready to dig for dinosaur bones.

Check out the monkeys and
Curious George too!

Snow and Spring

We have been having crazy weather this year between snow, flooding, and sunshine we have no idea what season it is but we seem to be enjoying every one (except maybe the rain).

This was Lily's first time in the snow and she wasn't exactly sure what to do with it, either that or she could not move because mommy put too many clothes on her for her five minutes outside. Evan on the other hand, did not hesitate to enjoy every minute of the snow (that is Evan if you cannot tell). Evan did more rolling around in the snow than anything else. He did go on his first sledding experience on a real hill and had a blast so did daddy.

Daddy and Evan finally took a break from playing to get some work done.

Well, someone was working. "Daddy, am I done shoveling yet?" "No, you missed a spot - right over there - I'll let you know when you got it all" :)

Enough about snow we are ready for spring....Please come soon!!!

We have taken advantage of every nice day as they come. I keep putting away the winter coats and getting them back out again. This time they are away for good - only spring from here on out (we hope!)

Bubbles, Bubbles & More Bubbles!!!

I have never met a kid that doesn't like bubbles and Evan and Lily are no exception. They both love to be outside - Lily stands at the back door everyday trying to go out and never wants to come back in.

Yes - I am attempting to Blog

I know this is quite outside of my norm but I was inspired by a friend's blog and I thought why not. I realize that I am slow to send out pictures of the fam and Evan and Lily are growing up so quickly. If this can expedite my communication than I think it is a great idea on the other hand if this keeps me up too late at night than I may revert back to my old ways (pictures once every two years - or at least at Christmas :)

Anyway, bear with me as I try to master the art of blogging and posting.

My most recent and totally precious pics are from Easter so I thought I'd share our Easter in my first blog posting .

Lily knew she was a princess the minute she put on that dress. She knew just how to twirl around and grab the fluff under her dress. She knew to till her head and smile and admire herself in the mirror. She also knew how to lift up the dress so you could see her belly. I tried to remind her that the last act is not proper princess behavior but it just encouraged it more as she'd rub her belly and laugh.



Evan was more concerned about finding eggs and candy. He found most of the eggs for Lily too. (but he did share).
As I continue to master the art of blogging, hopefully my pictures and layout will start to improve but until then hey, this is better than nothing (I hope) but I don't think I'll ever keep up with the Jones' (Kim- my blogging inspiration :). Let me leave my first blog with this....
