Updated Pictures!!! Just in time for Easter.....

If our internet weren't so slowwwwww, I could add a ton more. Not sure what's going on today- maybe it's the construction project in our t.v. room ;)

Now that the cold weather has passed (thanks to the Michiganders who took it with them!), we're back to enjoying the great outdoors in t-shirts and shorts! We took our first trip of the season to Carowinds and had a blast! But mental note for next time, I will remember not to promise Bela the "Dora Choo Choo" only to have it be torn apart and ready for a new ride to be put in its place............ Poor Bela. She's so short and can only ride a handful of rides, but it looks like Dora is no longer one of them......

Emma and Bela both relished the houseful of visitors we got this past week- Grandma and Grandpa, "Aunt Benger-ha" (aka Ben Vucic!), Carrie, Beth, Mariah, Ryan (plus pooches!) and more...... We're also REALLY looking forward to our bunny visitor tonight as well as Aunt Holly and Keith tomorrow- WOOO HOOO family on a holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emma is really enjoying school, especially now that she's studying nursery rhymes. She has them all memorized, including some secret second verse to Humpty Dumpty I've never heard of before-- something about some band-aids and glue making him as good as new (ah, liberals, gotta make every ending a happy one! Totally kidding on that one, no offense I hope!) One of her classmates is expecting a baby brother soon....which has opened up the discussion board on a whole new area......oy vay! She asked me last week if I had a baby growing in my belly too. When I said "Mommy's all done growing babies", she just looked at me and said "Stop teasing me mom, you have a baby too". And Bela is finally really loving school too. She adores her teachers (probably because they let her sit on their laps all day) and the fun activitites they come up with. Although she did try and fake a cough on Friday to play hookie........

Both babies are on a low sugar, low dairy diet that seems to be helping Bela's and Emma's sleeping- whew. Now we're back to sleeping through the night again! And Emma hasn't had a night terror in weeks!!!!!!! We'll see how long this lasts, but so far so good.

Bela's learning language so fast now. She is learning new things daily and the things that come out of her mouth are HILARIOUS! She always wants to know "why?" (which gets a bit old) and makes up phrases for new things all the time. Like the other day when she put on a pair of shorts for the first time this year. She said "Wow! Look at my.....my......little pants!" (not knowing the word shorts yet!) How funny!

All in all, we are having a good time as we head into summer, continuously meeting new people and gaining lifelong friends. But we do miss our families......
