going for a bike ride

whew! Busy, busy since returning from our Easter weekend. Finally finished putting the pictures from Easter and Avery's baptism online for family to see. Some cute pics --- including this one.

love it when there is a whole new bunch of pictures to play with. I am also starting to enjoy playing with textures, too. love these two of addie.

Charlotte clients, again!

So much to talk about today. We just got home from a lovely weekend in NC where we spent a sunny Easter with Poppy and family. The kids got to meet and visit their newest cousin, Avery - who was also baptized this weekend. Addie LOVED, LOVED her and she was very good with her. Jack loved her, too, but he was more interested in playing with trucks or working his new firetruck puzzle.
While in town, I continued building my Charlotte clientèle! These two were SO adorable! We had a lot of fun exploring their big backyard.
More talk later, but I'm dying to get working on the pictures... here are a couple of favorites after the initial look through.

no babysitter week

It has been the kids and I this week! Our sitters are in Spain, Aruba and Florida soaking in the sun for spring break... so I haven't been at work. We've tried to make our week fun by having a special playdate, lunch with friends and a day of banana bread making! Tomorrow is Friday and then a busy weekend is in store. Addie has been invited to 4 birthday parties in March (two on the same day and one party is for twin brother and sister!) - the first party is this Saturday. We had fun at Target yesterday buying presents for all her friends. She was very particular about what to get each person. Funny girl.
Jack has been potty training and seems to have poo-poo down. He has been consistently going on the potty for about a week. He doesn't quite get the pee-pee in the potty thing, though. We've tried to wear underpants twice and twice he's eventually peed in them! We'll keep trying! He does look pretty cute in his briefs!!!

Sunday

Did you remember to spring ahead today??? Hard to believe that it was about 6:30-7pm before it started getting dark. Love it!

ONCE: Falling Slowly

This is the song that won an Oscar... love it! I rented the movie the other night. Very good. It is so refreshing to see movies that are no-frills but entertaining and pure. Check it out!

hopscotch diva

In keeping with the Diva theme that I discussed yesterday I thought this was an appropriate picture. She's getting to be the hopscotch queen. We had a GLORIOUS day today, full of sunshine and mild temperatures. Addie refused to wear a coat (sorry Nene). I hear winter is coming again tomorrow, though. Oh well... we enjoyed the nice weather today!

kids

Just a normal weekend around here. We've actually seen the sun recently and it was so inviting that we took a big walk this afternoon. It was lovely!

One of Addie's favorite things to do is sing at the top of her lungs. Usually it is a song from Noggin (esp the show Lazy Town). Tonight at dinner she declared she is a DIVA. What the heck? How old is this kid?

Playing with different post-processing...

I asked Jack if I could take his picture. He sat on the bench near the front door and started to pick his nose... I told him (nicely) to stop picking his nose. This is what I got:
