Another Week....Another Post...

Things have been quite uneventful around the household here. We've been trucking on waiting for spring to come. It is nice seeing the sun shine a bit higher in the sky these days. I've been busy printing and saving to CD all the photos from 2008. I really shouldn't get that far behind, but it doesn't take too long to get caught up.

Sam likes to grab the cloths off the oven door and go around cleaning the house. Works for me!!













On Wednesday evening we went over to Jodi's house to play with all the girls. Here's a photo of baby Sarah who is almost 9 months old.




















They had a lot of fun playing and dancing. Then they all got in their pj's and ready for bed. (Since we were getting home after bedtime.)














































I finished knitting a hat for Sam. It was a little too big, so I'll make him a smaller one and he can wear this one when he's grown a bit.















The kids like spinning on their Bili.bo.




















Ella and Sammy playing on the exercise roller. (It's more of a toy than anything else.)






















Ella and daddy went to the pool and went swimming. Ella thinks her undies look better on her head.


































Cheap workout:

Sam has been a little grumpy the past couple days. I think it's because his molar is coming in. He got his first bottom molar on the 17th and his other one is almost in. I think this is the cause of his grumpiness. Usually you can't tell when he's teething other than him sucking on his hand. I can handle a little grumpiness.

He was very unhappy this morning when I got out the camera. It took a minute to get a little smile...

High Jumps and Hair Cuts

As promised I've been taking many pictures over the past couple days. Nothing much has been going on, just hanging around.

Ella was working on her jumping. She's pretty good!



















































































Sam really needed a hair cut, so today he got one. I've trimmed the back recently, but his overall hair was getting really long. I can't believe how much got cut off. He looks really cute now though!

Is it spring yet??

It's starting to warm up just a little, but not quite enough to get outside and enjoy it yet. I know all of us here are anxious for the warmer weather. Unfortunately, I think we have a little more waiting to do.

We haven't done much in the past week. I haven't even taken any pictures. That's pretty sad and I should really take more photos!! Ella went sledding at preschool on Friday and had a lot of fun. We also had her Early Childhood Development Screening on Friday afternoon. I wasn't sure how she would do taking questions from someone she didn't know, but she really surprised me and did so well. She easily passed her age level and from what I remember was good to go for an almost 6 year old. So no worries here! Next week we have her kindergarten open house/registration already. I can't believe she'll be in kindergarten next year already. It seems like we were just registering for preschool.

Sam's doing well. He got his other bottom tooth on the 2nd. Since it was groundhogs day we figure that means there'll be 10 more weeks of winter! :) So now he's up to 8 teeth. Still waiting on a few more. He's such a silly little boy and such a sweetheart!

I promise to take more pictures in the coming days!
