Video Updates

So I decided to do some videos of the kids today so everyone can see them. Claire will be 5 months on the 4th and she is quite the talker. She squeals everytime someone talks to her or walks by and smiles at her. She's so sweet and happy. Catelyn surprised me the other day by counting to 20 almost completely by herself. Here's a video of her trying to do it again. Certainly not perfect but she's learning quickly. And Nicky wanted to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider for the camera so here is his version of the song. Such good kids...I'm so blessed.

Tee Ball Time

Nicky participated in his first tee ball game today (we missed the first 2 because he was sick). He did great and he hit the ball on the first pitch as you can see here. He's #7 (the one batting).

Here's Your Sign...

So we went for a walk today and these flyers were posted everywhere.

Grant and I laughed so hard, the kids thought we were nuts. They didn't get the humor in someone's poor toothless, furless cat. However, I think this lady should be grateful her cat kicked it in the bushes somewhere rather than in her house where her daughter could find it. Call me insensitive...or not.

While I'm at it, here's another one Grant sent me. Too funny...

Ring, Ring...Who's There?

So I see Catelyn digging at her ear this morning and I go and ask her what's wrong. As I look closer, I see something in her ear. I dug it out and this is what I found...

When I asked her why she stuck it in her ear, she said, "phone...hello?" Thank you Playmobil for making a phone the size of my daughter's ear canal :).

Catelyn Meets Special Grandma

Last weekend Mimi took Catelyn to Chicago to meet Special Grandma (Great-Grandma Rybowicz affectionately renamed Special Grandma by Nicky last summer). Catelyn had a great time and got to meet lots of great aunts & uncles too.

3...2...1...Blast Off!

We spent our morning making a spaceship. While it didn't turn out exactly as I had planned in my head, the kids love it and are having a great time playing with it...

As for Claire... she slept through the whole thing...

Catelyn's "Cone"

For weeks Catelyn has been asking me for a "cone", meaning ice cream cone. So yesterday we took the kids out for a treat and she got a huge one! She ate every last bite and here was the aftermath...

She even shared a bite...
