It has been way too long since I've posted to this here bloggy! I will try to be better about putting up some photos and ramblings! Until then, we hope you had a great Christmas and that you party in the New Year!!
Well, we finally got the kid's birthday photos taken. Only a few months behind on one - at least Miss E's were only one month late! Here's the link if you would like to see the proofs. Mr. Q did not enjoy having his photo taken this time. All of the photos, except the last one, were taken on my lap. We couldn't get any of E & Q together! Hopefully he won't be as scared in a few months and we will try again!!
Here are a couple photos from Easter morning. Miss E's favorite part of Easter is the egg hunt - she was tearing around the house searching for the Easter bunny's treasure. Thankfully the bunny thought about how cold and wet the morning was going to be and he hid the eggs in the house this year. Mr. Q was even able to find an egg; after he found his egg, he studied it and played with it... he only needed one! After the kids hunted the Easter bunny's eggs at our house we headed down to Granny's for breakfast and another egg hunt, hosted by Granny. Ellie was in heaven, two hunts in one day!! Uncle S, Aunt K and Cousin L celebrated Easter morning with us at Granny's too!
We also tried getting some photos for our Easter card on Mr. Q's birthday. Getting pictures of Miss E and Q together was a challenge, to say the least! We did get a pretty good one of them with their cousin L. Oh well, hopefully our Christmas photo attempts will go better... yeah right!
This is the reason we now have an ugly fence around our fireplace. Mr. Q took one too many spills off the hearth onto his head!!
Mr. Man loves helping with projects. He especially loved helping daddy fix the flooring; even like getting to hammer until it pinched him! He got over it quickly and was ready to get back to work!
Mr. Q loves riding on the slide; he'll climb up the stairs (with help) and slide down full of smiles. Then it's back around to go again, and again!
Well now Miss E is always a busy girl, but here's the update. Right now she is dreaming of being a paleontologist when she grows up. Wait... she also wants to be an animal doctor and sometimes a cowgirl (with a purple saddle no less)! We think she is tenacious enough to do all three!
She keeps herself busy riding her bike, playing with her horses and dinosaurs, coloring, doing puzzles and reading. She also loves to play doctor, especially when it comes to administering shots!! Had to add this photo, it was just too funny... atleast she's got a clean nose!!
Here a a couple of photos of baby Q. This first is him at 10 Months, the second at 11 months. Mr. Q is such a happy little man. He is crawling around like a pro - the little bugger can really get moving if he wants to, and he usually wants too! He will walk really well as long as you are holding his hand and can stand unassisted like he's been doing it all his life. He could totally be walking, he just doesn't wanna! Q has his 1 year check-up in a couple of weeks so we'll have some current stats soon!
Cousin Lukey and his mom & dad came over on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the game and eat yummy food with us, Granny and Miss Kristie & Mr. Gene. Q loves to try to hug, kiss and pet his hair, but as you can see, Cousin Lukey doesn't like it one bit!! Oh well, he recovers quickly!!
So sorry to have been absent from our little blog! I'm hoping to keep this thing updated a bit more frequently - hoping... Any who, here are a couple of photos just for fun. First up is our new (Christmas gift) bird feeder. This thing is so cool, the birds that eat from it - little yellow bellied birdies - eat out of it upside down! Pest's Auntie and Uncle told us about 'em, so we added the feeder and thistle to our X-mas wish list. It is really fun to watch the birds flock to our sad little tree - somehow they know when it's been filled, like within minutes! As it empties, and there are only two perches left to feed from, the little critters actually fight with each other. Fauna gone wild!
