FAMILY FUN

Playing in the fountain at Baylor with cousins and friends.

Kids in green with their leprechaun traps.  They were excited to find chocolate gold coins in their traps.

Cardboard boxes make great boats.


BROOKLYN AT HOME

We've enjoyed having Brooklyn Grace home with us.  She loves sleeping in her Boppy.

Audrey wanted Brooklyn to meet her baby doll.

Sleeping on Daddy's chest.

Taking a nap with Dad.

Audrey loves being a big sister.  She sings song about it and tells everyone she meets that she's a big sister.

Pictures with Brooklyn.

Brooklyn has reflux, so she got this special wedge to sleep on.

Before Brooklyn was born Nathan told me that he wasn't excited about a new baby sister.  After meeting her, he obviously changed his mind.  He told me he loves how cuddly and little she is.

Brooklyn's first bath.

 VALENTINE'S DAY

 We hosted a homeschool co-op Valentine's day party.

 The kids had fun exchanging Valentines with their friends.

 Audrey wanted a panda box.

 Maddy made this cute pink castle.

 Nathan used his LEGOs to make this cool Star Wars one.

 Abby made a cute music box.

 Audrey was excited about the heart suckers she got.  She insisted that I take a picture.

Rachel was kind enough to watch the kids so Jared and I could go on a date.  I thought it would be a good time to get a pregnancy picture since I haven't really taken many.

Jared brought home roses for the girls.

They all had to wear their love jammies of course.

He even got a rose for Brooklyn.

I got this lovely bouquet.

THE ZOO

We took advantage of the lovely February weather to visit the zoo.

I tried taking the a picture of all the kids, unfortunately the boys have yet to master the skill of posing for the camera.

The highlight of our visit was seeing the new baby orangutan.  He was super cute.

Audrey can't stop talking about "baby rangatang."

AUDREY BEAR

Audrey loves going to Nursery with Sister Milligan and Sister Baker.

I'm excited because Audrey's hair is finally long enough to put into pigtails.  Here she is all dressed up for church with her pearl necklace.  She insists on taking her little stuffed dog and kitty in the little pink, plush crate.
