A Month in Review

Wow! A month has flown by and where have I been? Well quite busy as usual but add a two year old to the mix and much of the time is spent keeping after her! We have been pretty busy with the girls and their ball season. Caroline has now started her ball and will have her first game Monday. It will be quite fun trying to juggle the days when their games overlap and I'm rushing home from work.

So here are a few highlights from the last month. Caroline celebrated her 9th birthday! I can't believe 9 years have flown by. For the most part, she had a nice birthday. The one thing we could have done without was our first case of head lice! Yes, we came across this on her birthday. Not only her but Abby too. So we spent the entire day treating, picking, and washing everything! I had to laugh considering this was the week before Easter and I told everyone I was going on an egg hunt! Now that we have had our 2nd treatment, I am breathing a little easier. I'm just hoping that they are gone for good.

Caroline got a Justin Bieber Cd for her birthday. We hear "Baby, baby, baby Oh" every hour of the day to the point that Mattie walks around singing "bab, bab, bab" too.


We also have an addition to our family. Frisco had 5 cute little kittens! It was amazing to watch her give birth. The girls have really enjoyed the kittens. We plan on giving them away and then time for Frisco to get fixed.

We have been on vacation this past week. We've tried to take advantage of the beautiful weather. We drove to the beach for the day. No pictures...I forgot the camera. Mattie hated the sand at first but after about 45 minutes she figured out that she could walk in it. Thank goodness I had helping hands to keep up with her. We also went to the pool one day. It was actually warm enough to swim.

Mattie has been quite busy herself. I rarely get front view pictures anymore since she seems to always be running in the other direction. Here is her Easter Picture. Ha! That's pretty much what you see.

At school, she had her first Easter Egg hunt. I love this picture. She is so excited! I really don't think it was because of the eggs. Really just because she got to go outside. She did pick up a few eggs and then it was off to trouble.

You see Mattie is climbing on everything!! We have to rescue her from tables, chairs, and whatever else she can find. I finally broke down and bought a leash for my child. It looks like she is wearing a little bookbag, but with this little stinker.....we are going to need it!

I hope that I will be able to get back into the swing of things with blogging very soon. Summer vacation is just around the corner!
