Dance Recital











Elizabeth spent this past year in dance class and last night was her dance recital. She will be done for the summer. She was so cute in her little costume and looked so grown up on stage with all the other kids. I am so proud of her. If you can't tell she is the one on the right.

Easter came 2 days after we had Zachary, so the kids got to dress in their new Easter clothes the following Sunday. Aren't they all just so cute!

baby vs. the cold




I know colds are inevitable, however it makes my heart break knowing my 10 day old baby has a cold. He is coughing, wheezing, and has quite a bit of yucky snot. My Martin has the cold last week and we tried keeping the baby away from him, but there is only so much we could do. Now, Martin is healthy and the baby has the sickies. Thankfully he isn't running a temperature and is still nursing fine. I do hope he kicks this cold fast so I can be worry-free.

On a high note, we had a wonderful visit with my mom who came out and helped while I was recovering from my delivery. The kids had a great time with her and enjoyed all the fun activities they got to do together. We did have to drive her back to the airport last night and now we wait a couple of days until Marty's mom comes for a visit. Boy are they lucky, 2 grandmas back-to-back. I think they love the spoiling and attention they get.

Elizabeth loves her new baby brother. Any time he fusses, she runs over and pats him telling him it'll be okay. She asks to hold him and for me to take pictures. It is too cute. Martin isn't as interested and I can hardly get him to hold still enough for a picture, which is why there isn't one of him and the baby. He is usually running off to do something more exciting. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not...hmmm. As for him, we are just trying to get him to stay asleep in bed longer than 5:00 in the morning. This kid will be just like his dad...an early morning bird.
