Rough Week

This past Sunday Rebecca took a tumble off a plastic toddler chair and managed to get a pretty good shiner. Then on Wednesday night while at Awana, Lillian managed to do the same! She ran into a boy (or actually, I think the boy ran into her) while playing in the gym. Rough week! They're both doing a lot better now, they just look really bad. I think we'd better not take them out into public at the same time... I can only imagine what kinds of looks Daniel and I would get!!

Daniel's comment, "This is what our children come up with when they put their heads together!"

We've also had some fun this week:

Painting eggs

Proud artists

Showing off their spring tree and painted eggs

(Daniel made the comment that he had never heard of a "spring tree" until meeting me. My mom used to put one up, and as a little girl, I loved looking at all the fun, small decorations... boys, they just don't understand!)

Baby's First Pictures

I went in for my ultrasound pictures this morning. The baby is about 21 weeks and 5 days old and weighs exactly 1 pound. All three girls came with me and thought it was neat finally being able to see the baby that's in Mommy's tummy (well, atleast Lillian thought so). We even got to hear the heartbeat!

We don't have a scanner so I tried taking pictures with our camera of the ultrasound pictures. They're ok but not great. Here you go:

Baby's profile

This one is my favorite. Baby has it's legs stretched over it's tummy and head -- talk about flexible! Ooftah!

New Pictures

We stopped by MOA while out and about on Valentine's Day. Daniel can't miss an opportunity to go to Legoland (and the girls always like it too!)!!

While at the MOA I wanted to stop and see the new American Girl store. The girls really liked this store!! This pic was taken in the baby section (I didn't even know they had babies). Well, I think Rebecca was overwhelmed with ALL the babies!! She was running around like crazy repeating the word, "Baby! Baby!" They even have a "beauty shop" where you can bring your doll and for $20 have her hair made up. There is also a restaurant/bistro upstairs where you and your doll (in matching outfits of course) can enjoy a meal together. Precious.



The girls and Vayda enjoying one anothers company over some tea.



Vayda brought over her rideable pony that talks and sings as it's mouth moves. Initially Abigail didn't want to touch it or be near it. Well, as the day went on, it slowly became her new best friend.

Hangin' out while watching a movie.

I was making supper one night and went to see why it was SO quiet... the girls had sneaked some green peppers off the counter and were eating them together on the steps. They thought they were so funny!!

I found Rebecca like this enjoying her favorite book.
