May Catch up

I honestly can't keep up.  I think about blogging every night and I'm so tired I just don't want to.  Here we are, almost the end of June and I'm catching up on May!  Ug.  Oh well.

 Hattie loves to cuddle on pillows.  Here Chase is cuddling too

Hattie Sleeps

Hattie normally sleeps on her tummy with her legs tucked under her and her arms tucked under her tummy.  I found her like this in May.

Hattie is 1

Our Sweet little Hattie turned 1 on June 20th!  She is so wonderful and life is so much better with her in it!  The boys and I made her pancakes and sang to her.  My parents arrived that night and we opened some gifts.  She got new clothes and a bike helmet from us, along with a house toy.  She loved the attention.

It was extremely difficult to get a picture of Hattie with her 12 month sticker on!  This was the first picture we took and it's not bad.  She wanted the sticker off and wanted to crawl away.  This girl is a mover!

So sweet, opening a gift from Mommy and Daddy

Boys have to help.

Alexandra Visits

Alexandra visited us a couple weeks ago.  She is a girl I nannied for in Chicago back in 1997 when she was just 6 years old.  Her family is very dear to me and I love them like family.  It was amazing to have her here to meet my children.  They adored her and we had a great time out at dinner that night.

What is She Up To?

Drinking out of a glass

Hattie loves to drink out of a glass, loves it!  Here are a few pics of her doing so.

So Big

When Jeff was in Europe we had a lot of time together!  Hattie learned "So Big" and the boys enthusiastically encouraged her.  So fun.

Last Day of Kinder Academy

Yesterday was Chase and Owen’s last day of Kinder Academy and part of me is so happy and part of me is sad. They have had such a great experience and have learned so much that it’s sad for them to move on. It also means they are getting older. They have loved their teachers, classmates and everything about school. I feel comfortable with it and so do they. Either way, they have accomplished so much, in learning to hold their pencil correctly, form letters, write words, read words, do addition, introduce themselves to others, and make new friends. We will miss the Kindergarten Center and all the happy memories. 

 Owen ready for school.  Look at all those bruises on his legs!

 Sweet brothers
