Spring Family Fun

Enjoying some family time outside on one of the rare nice days this spring.



I can't believe how big and handsome he is. Fun boy!



I love this kid!



Clara enjoyed torturing a moth.



What do you think of her hat? I'm pretty excited about it, especially since she likes wearing it. It also has a button hole where I can attach a coordinating fabric flower I made. I love it!




I love the little girl in the hat even more!

Today's update on the baby situation:

So, last week the first time they measured my fluid levels I was at 4.9 in whatever it is they measure the fluid in. A few days later I was at 8.8. I was pretty surprised and excited I'd produced more and kept it in. Well, today they measured me, and...none. Yep, there is no fluid for baby to swim in at all. But, his heart rate is great, and he's moving around (the stinker went from head down to being breech), so he must not mind too much. The doctor says it's alright for him to not have fluid, and luckily my body will produce more, so hopefully soon he'll have something to swim in.

Other than that, things are about the same. Joel's going to come see me after work, so I'm counting the hours until that happens. I showered and did my makeup today, and that always lifts my spirits. So, things are pretty good.

Spring Time and Friends

Okay, last post you got to read about us. Now you can look at us too. Two of the four anyway (they're the most fun and cuter too).

The other day, before Mother Nature decided to maybe go back to winter again, the kids and I enjoyed a beautiful Spring morning watering the flowers and playing around. I had to make about 20 trips to the kitchen sink to fill their watering cans, but at least they had fun and the flowers finally got a drink (thanks HOA- remember how you were going to turn the water on April 15th? Whatever happened to that?). Oh, and feel free to oogle over Clara in her sunglasses. I know you want to.

Noah took this picture. Don't you love the perspective?

The following three pictures illustrate why leaving our cute home is so hard. We have the best neighbors in the world! We love the Hickmans, and living by them for three years has been one of the greatest blessings. It will be hard for the kids and me to leave our best friends.

Lindsay- you guys aren't rid of us yet! We're going to visit all the time- so much that you'll probably get sick of us.
