Ahhhhh....spring is here!

Good morning all. Sorry I have been away for a while. Who knew that three little boys could keep one woman so busy?? Here Henry is enjoying the first Dairy Joy cone of the season. Small vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. YUM-O!!

This week was also April vacation for us, so we have taken a couple of day trips and played outside a lot. Here the boys are enjoying the calves and cows at Pineland (where Uncle Tom and Aunt Emily work). They were also able to join us for lunch (Tom and Em, not the cows...) The boys wanted to take a picture with the front end loader too. After we also visited the creamery to see where they make cheese. YUMMY!! We bought some of the Pineland cheese at the Market too....salsa jack and the smoked cheddar. Sooooo good! We had some of the smoked cheddar on some burgers last night. How good was that??

On the David front....he is now eating solids. I had to start them a little ahead of his 6 month mark, because he was getting me up every 90 minutes to nurse. And after 2 weeks of that, i decided that the kid needed more food!! We have been sleeping MUCH better since then. So far, he has had and ENJOYED rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, carrots and squash. Next on the list....we will give peas a chance.... ; )

Hope that everyone is doing well!! Have a great weekend!! Love and miss you all!!

FIVE months old.....

David turned 5 months old on Friday! Here he is smiling away.... on the floor. His favorite place to be, so that he can watch his 2 older bros.


Paul and Henry love dinosaurs, and Brian managed to build some really cool ones with the Lego's!

Henry has gotten into the book Corduroy (one of my all-time favs!). His smile is a bit forced, but he is still a keeper!!

M.C. DCD, in the hiz' ous....

I did it! I got a new one of David. Here he is in the swing hanging out. I included another one with all 3 of them.....hope all is well!

Two cool cats....

I know that I said that I would post new pics of David, but last week was a borderline nightmare with all three boys getting sick (AGAIN!) with bad colds, 3-day long fevers, and bad coughs. So, I hope to take some of David this week. We will see how it goes.....

In the meantime, here is one of the older boys. Aren't they funny!!?? Paul has his Happy Meal (his 1st one), Pink Panther glasses on. And H-man has on his "wobble goggles" (from Imagination Movers). Love those guys!!

PS they aren't flashing gang signs....they are holding pretend lightsabers!!!

March Madness, here we come! (Even if the Hoosiers aren't in it this year.....)

4 months old (10 days ago.....)

David is now 4 months old, and I think that the last month FLEW by. Pretty scary actually. Time does go very fast, and you have to stop and smell the roses everyday!! I did take a few pictures of David the day that he turned 4 months old, but they are all blurry. So, I promise that I will take new ones today, and post them this week.

Onto the other two silly geese in this house. Bri bought some "big boy" doughnuts yesterday, and here are Paul and Henry enjoying them. Raised doughnuts, with chocolate frosting and green and white sprinkles! Happy St. Patty's Day early...

I also wanted to post a couple other silly photos of the boys from the past couple of months....

this is one of Henry while he is listening to Uncle John's silly voice message.

Here are Paul and Henry playing hide and seek....they crack me up!!

Gotta love Maine winters....

So, the past two weekends, we have had Sunday night-Monday snowstorms which have resulted in Monday Snow Days!! Fun, but I think that I am done with snow days for this year. We have had 4, I think, and that is enough. We had EIGHT last year, and that totally stunk. So, 4 is fine, and hopefully that is it for this year.

Here, the older boys and Bri are outside enjoying the snow and playing Star Wars, by pretending that they are on Hoth. Henry is always Darth Vader (he makes the famous breathing sound...hilarious!), Paul is Anakin or Luke, and Brian is usually the Emperor or another bad guy. It is all quite entertaining.

P.S. you will notice how high Paul is on the snow bank...and that is before the snow that we are getting today....fun, fun.

Hope everyone is well....and WARM! I can't wait for spring, although it is beautiful outside.

Rolling over, and over, and over.....

David is rolling over now. He actually has been doing that for over a week, but with the third child, maybe it is goes without the gigantic festivities that it did with the first, and probably second child. David is rolling from his tummy to his back, but not the other way yet. Maybe he will be doing that in a week or more...He is a very happy baby though, even with this nasty cough that he has had the past week, poor little thing.

He LOVES his older brothers, and especially Paul, since Henry does not usually slow down enough for David to catch his eye. Paul likes to lie with David on the floor and talk and sing to him. It is very cute, and wonderful to watch it all as their mommy, and I am loving every minute of it!! Happy Sunday!
