I realized I haven't really posted anything about what we did this winter. Actually, I don't think we did much except try to stay warm. But here's a few pictures of a couple of things, thrown together with some Easter and Mother's Day pictures at the end.
This winter we.........
had concerts,
had our backyard flooded a few times,
made a few crafts, like this Valentine's Day wreath,
learned how to change a baby sister's diaper,
played Just Dance on the Wii,
posed in new clothes,
went to the Alamo in San Antonio (ok, that was just Brian),
worked out our abs,
and read lots of book.
And then Spring came - YAY! I love my alliums, they're so cute and interesting.
Even though Easter was late this year, it kinda snuck up on me. I feel like we didn't really do anything, and I can't say I really even wanted to color eggs. But here we are, doing it anyway!
It was pretty funny watching Ella try to get to the eggs. She was finally content holding a spoon.
This is the smile she's been doing when she sees the camera lately. Scrunchie little face!
Easter morning! Too bad most of our pics turned out awful. And we never even got a picture with all the girls together.
Ella got a hold of a chocolate egg a few days after Easter and she was very pleased with herself!
On Mother's Day with my little women.
Brian made me these pancakes. How sweet. For my present this year, I went out and bought myself a fun little crafty gadget that I've wanted for a looooong time. One of the first things I made with it is........
this sign for my front door! Ugly, plain front door no more.
Ella's been busy in Physical Therapy trying to get caught up with her motor skills. She's doing really well, and just mastered crawling, which has resulted in my life becoming much harder! Here she is at P.T.
And here's my little crawler on the move
She thinks she's pretty smart when she gets under the desk.
These last few pics are from when my parents were here a few weeks ago and we went to the zoo. This is the kids feeding the lorakeets. Ella tried to feed them her finger.
