It's been awhile.....Since January.....

I haven't posted in awhile. Since January actually....Since then, there have been several snows/ice days that we had in Feb. This caused the schools to close a lot and as usual in the south everything shuts down when the roads are icy! We enjoyed a few of those days at home playing. Henry got to experience several batches of snow days at 5 months of age and I got some cute pictures. Ella got to truly go sledding with her cousins at one of CHS practice fields and she got to stay out of school a lot due to her Pre School following the same schedule as Collierville Muni Schools...when they're out due to snow/ice, so is she. Thankfully, Mrs. Tammy (Henry's sitter) kept Ella on days when I was in a bind. Whew! Below are a few picts from our snow fun. Henry and I mostly stayed inside and watched the view from the window, which we were both just fine with :)

@ 5 Months Old w/ Daddy...Keeping warm in his fleece footed PJ's

He was enthralled with the snow falling from the trees. Sweet babies.

Even Big Daddy got to experience some of the snow as he was here during one of them....

Here they are heading out to sled!

Hunting for eggs at our Neighborhood Egg Hunt

Henry was hanging out in the stroller watching all of the action with Bibby & Maw Maw

Some warm weather FINALLY started showing up around mid March and we were all so glad to see it. Feb. was brutal for us southerners who think if it is below 40 degrees that it is freezing!!! 

Henry is growing like a weed. He is 7 months now and is sprouting new hair everyday. In fact, my Dad calls him "sprout" b/c he keeps sprouting new hair every time he sees him. He is really coming in to his personality- squealing and saying "da-da" (of course), eating baby food consistently since 6.5 months old and LOVES it, sleeping better and more on a schedule, and he finally cut 2 teeth just last week. He also did a blast traveling on his first airplane ride this past month.

Ella is 4 going on 14. She is Miss Independent, a rule follower, and a great student who loves her preschool. She is finishing up the year at Faith Lutheran and ready for a fun summer going to VBS at our church, attending a few summer camps at FLP, and hanging with Miss Riley our neighbor who is going to sit for us this summer. She has hit a big growth spurt causing me to have to go through her closet b/c her shorts, shirts, and pants are either too short or tight! She loves riding her bike after school everyday and around the neighborhood. And, she is a great Big Sister to Henry...A big helper to Mama too!

Other than work and the usual life occurrences, we left the day after easter for a vacation with the entire family to Hawaii which was a blast. All 12 of us: 6 adults, 6 kids. It was a nice getaway, so picts to come in the following post. I will try to post sooner. :)
