I haven't developed our digital photos in 6 months now. That's really, really bad if you know how many pictures I take. (The ones I put here on the site are a mere fraction of the ones I take!) After going through and eliminating pictures I can live without printing (at least 5 times) I still have 488 pictures to print! I am definitely not going to wait 6 months again!

Here's an interesting article I read yesterday about being a stay-at-home mom. Since I am apparently worth a $131,471 salary, I would like to know when I am going to start receiving it! ;)

Another one of Sylvie's current cute made-up words: too-GIN

As in "Do it too-gin!"

--a combination of the words "too" and "again."

Sparkly nails

Annah & Sylvia wanted their nails painted, so I painted their toenails silver with silver glitter, and their fingernails sparkly white. They were so excited, but they held still long enough for them to dry.

beautiful, sparkly girls

Caeden's 1st carrots

Monday, April 25, 2005 - Caeden tried his first veggies today for lunch--carrots. 

 He looks happy in the first picture, but that was between bites. 

The second picture is more telling.

It was definitely an experience for him.

  His real opinion of carrots...

Caeden's Dedication

This morning was a very special time at church--Baby Day. Caeden's Dedication Ceremony was part of the celebration, and baby Saige was dedicated too. And, I was able to play and sing "A Little Boy On His Knees" during the service.  Pastor Scott reminded us in his sermon that Jeremy is to be Caeden's earthly example of his Heavenly Father. That was a poignant reminder! The whole weekend was such a wonderful time to revel in the love of God and our family! I'll say it again: We are SO blessed!

Annah's March projects

 Annah with her March preschool projects... 

This month the class learned about the 5 senses. The teddy bear picture was colored with coffee grounds; the flower was scented with perfume; the Mr. Potato Head has Lifesaver eyes, a chocolate chip mouth, a fuzzy pompon nose, and felt feet. Annah also painted with pudding one day at school! She got to taste it and see how the colors of pudding looked when mixed. The fingertips of the hand all have items that show different touches--rough, hard, fuzzy, sticky, and smooth. The color of the month for March was yellow, and the shape was the diamond. Annah also got another progress report this month; she is learning a lot, and we are very proud of her!

Annah's bow

Annah looked so pretty, I had to take her picture before we could leave for church this morning. She has asked me a few times to put a bow in her hair, and I finally had ribbon to match what she was wearing. She was very proud to have a bow in her hair.

Flying kites

We flew kites today! This was a first for the girls. What a fun time!
