Drunken Sailor

It's sort of a funny concept that everyone refers to new walkers as drunken sailors. But really, the description couldn't be more accurate.

Jameson is walking everywhere.  Everyone told me "just wait til the second one walks..." but really I think I had a harder time when he started crawling.  If I had a dollar for every time I lost him in this house....Picture me running around yelling "Jameson???!!!"  and Hadley running behind me saying "Bowie, are you?!".  Anyway, point being, now that he's walking he's actually a little slower and he's pretty keen to follow his sister everywhere so truthfully, I'm loving this stage.  So far.

Can't wait for this springy weather to stick around though I'll be honest, I'd be happy to wait forever for another 110 degree day.  Many fun things to come this summer!

Easter

I'm a little late in posting our Easter photos -- can you believe that this is the 2nd time in the last few years of celebrating Easter with Hadley that I've come down with the stomach flu the day after.  What gives?!   

I'm recovered, and thought I'd share some pictures from our sweet girl hunting for eggs.  It was so precious though I think she consumed at least 75 jelly beans and was on a sugar high for the rest of the day and part of the next.  Jameson seemed to also quite enjoy his Easter basket.  We didn't make it to the hunt at the park in town on account of deciding to stick around home for brunch with the Grandparents and Easter dinner at Vicki's (delicious as usual!). 

{High & Windy}

My friends, it is Spring.  I don't care if no sooner had I uploaded these photos that it was pouring down rain outside.  April showers, they bring May flowers.

And sidewalk chalk, and trips to the park...

Yesterday, when the daddy got home from work we headed straight for the "fwings".  It is finally light out when he gets home, and after the winter we've had, that's cause for celebration!

Hadley wanted to be pushed so high, she kept yelling "Mommy I'm high & windy!"

J took his first spin on the swing....and I think it's safe to say he liked it!

In other news, the yard has started to bloom and we're spending more and more time outside these days.  Just in time for tax season to end this coming Monday!  Now Andy will spend his weekends doing yardword instead of couped up in an office. 

{Further evidence that he and I are turning into old people:  I'm signed up to play Bunco not once, but twice this week.}

We didn't get to see the tulips last year since we moved in in June.

And I have no idea what these are but I sort of love them.

I think good things are going to happen this spring...

Long Week

Dude, it has been one of those weeks...full of fevers (all 3 of my kids --in case you're wondering who the hell my third child is, that would be my big child, Andy) and tantrums and teething, the works.  I am run down, and ready for tax season to be OVER.  Like, now.

Anyway, in the spirit of not being totally negative nelly, here is a super cute video of the kids "talking" to eachother.  It reminds me of the twins post that's been going around :)

Bye bye doggie....

Well the verdict is in, and we decided not to keep little Abby Lou.  She was a good girl, but her tendancy to dig to china in Andy's yard and pee on my Pottery Barn rug sealed her fate, I'm afraid. 

A teacher from Hadley's school came to meet her on Tuesday night...fell in love on the spot, and took her home then and there.  So that's that!

I went to visit her at her new home and she was running around with 3 other dogs, jumping all over the couches, and playing with the 6 kids that her new mom has at her in-home daycare.  She was happier than a pig in....well...you know :)
