17 months

I can't believe my baby is almost a year and a half! She has started climbing. Recently she climbed up onto the chair by the kitchen table then up onto the table. I got her down and a little while later I left the room. I just about had a heart attack when I walked back into the room and saw her dancing around on top of the table, inches from the edge!

silly girl

Three is such a cute age and they say the funniest things! Recently Ava told me that when she grows up she wants to be a "nice ghost." On Sunday I asked her what she learned about in church and she said, "butterflies."

happy saint patrick's day!

camping

This past week our kids had spring break and we took them camping on Friday and Saturday. Between keeping the boys from hooking each other with their fishing pools, keeping Ava away from the steep drop off into the lake, and keeping Laila out of the campfire, it was not the most relaxing trip for Brian and me. However, the kids had lots of fun, so the trip was well worth it. During the night it got so cold. I could hear little critters scampering around the campsite and at one point they even started scratching at the tent. Next time we go camping, I think we'll rent a cabin instead of staying in a tent!
