Spring soccer begins...

Wednesday, March 19

Tonight Hunter started soccer up again. He was a little timid at first but then got back into it. He scored a goal - telling me it was for the family. He went on to tell me that he will try and score a goal for each of us next week.

We had a great time at the game. This was Elise's first soccer game and she slept through the whole thing. The weather had been nice all day, but the wind picked up and it was pretty chilly during the game.

Here are a few pictures but check out more at

Tonight for FHE we were invited to celebrate St. Patty's with some friends. We had a great time and enjoyed some great food. The kids had a great time as well, when we got home they were so tired they didn't complain about going to bed.

Kenyon had a great time with the ballons.

Elise - 4 months old

Monday, March 17

Today Elise had her 4 month check-up.  She was really happy for having to be woken up and not being able to eat completely.  She is surprisingly long for being one of our babies - 25 inches (80%).  She is still putting on weight but not much - 13 lbs 3 oz. (40%).  So she is our tall skinny girl with a 39 mm head.  She is doing really well and is healthy, so we are happy.  We now just need to work on her rolling over.

I have never enjoyed taking my kids to get their shots.  I am glad that Elise is a pro at them. Today she smiled at the nurse even when her legs were being held down.  Even after the first needle, she continued to smile and coo.  When the second needle went in - she still didn't cry.  It was when the needle was pulled out that she started to cry, but it only lasted a few seconds before she started cooing again.  It has been a few hours and she has slept and is happy as can be.  What a good girl!!!

Water, water everywhere...

Yesterday afternoon we arrived home to find our house was being taken over by water. Our master bathroom toilet has always run off and on. Well yesterday it decided to not stop and it made a mess of everything. It leeked from upstairs to our main level family room and our basement family room. We were able to get a restoration company to our home last night. So, with the carpet ripped up and the pad removed they were able to place many fans throughout the rooms to help dry everything. I am grateful to have Kevin's parents so close that we are staying with them for a few days. I was at the house today dealing with things (Kevin is out of town) and I could hardly think with all the fans and the humidity. I took a few pictures so you could get a glimpse into what is happening. It will be nice to get the repairs underway hopefully next week.
