Where do I begin?

For starters, there is a new blogger screen to figure out. I can't believe it's been that long that I haven't even seen this screen?? Wow! My excuse, besides being busy with "the girls" ? We redid our office and I didn't have cables, etc to upload pictures. Blog posts without pictures are no fun.

 So here comes our life over the past 2 months.

 Grace is growing taller by the day, it seems. I can barely lift her and when I do, her legs hang down so far that it is quite awkward. She has been doing wonderful in school, according to her teachers. She is no longer taking a nap there and will help the teacher's aid with projects while the other kids nap. She is writing neatly and learning the letter sounds according to the Spanish language. We started gymnastics last January, but she decided she didn't like it so I don't press it any longer. Swim lessons will soon take the place of that. She has been doing great swimming. She will swim between Steve and I easily. She is doing great in ballet and her recital is approaching in May.

Claire was 2 1/2 last week. She has also decided she doesn't need naps! I guess this is something 2nd children do to keep from missing out? She is doing great in school and will move up to Grace's class in the fall. Her favorite thing to do there is make biscuits which drives me crazy because she eats all of them on the way home, trashing the car, and getting so full she doesn't want dinner. She loves ballet and according to Grace, dances every class. She has figured out how to swim completely by watching Grace. She also swims between Steve and I and barely takes a breath before she wants to turn around and go the other way.

 Here are some photo highlights of the last few months:

 2012 Fulton Oysterfest in early March:

The girls and I headed to Dallas for Spring Break where the zoo was one of the highlights. They loved feeding the giraffes and petting the goats.

Easter didn't go as planned this year. Easter dresses, baskets, etc were downplayed as the girls fought a nasty virus for over a week. We did fit in an Easter egg hunt with the family.

Random school pictures:

Steve and I have realized we have not been good about getting our good camera to take pictures lately. It seems like our iphone camera has been top choice although the pictures are not nearly as good.

We have an exciting few months planned. In May, we are headed 30 min away for a weekend beach trip to celebrate Mother's Day and our 6th anniversary. That is followed by a trip to our favorite JW Marriott.  In June, the girls are flower girls in my cousin's wedding in Brownwood, TX. And then we are headed to Arizona for some fun in the Scottsdale area.

 I am committed to this blog that has become my girls' baby book. I promise not to go this long again :)
