Happy Birthday to JJ!!

Happy Birthday Uncle JJ!!

It's a ZOO around here......

Maggie did a 'lil yard work an ate a "lil dirt too..
"Mama dis is no good!!!"

Maggie's stage/box that Mimi sent some clothes in......she loves it!

See it in the corner? The bird's nest? It's there...
Thursday it was empty. Friday it had one, Sat it had 2, and yesterday it had 3, and today it had 4!!!

I think she is done laying them for now. The Internet said 4-5 eggs at a time and in 12-14 days we will know if they have babies in them. Apparently Robins lay eggs every time they ovulate but they are not always baby birds.......I hope there is a "daddy" bird out there somewhere so I do not have to explain too much to Julia.

After "helping" daddy build a raised flower bed and doing yard work all day.


Also after much research (on the Internet) and a whole day, we learned that some critters in the front flower bed were baby rabbits. There are 4 of them as well (we think). They are very sluggish and sleep alot and have not come out of their hole yet. Julia and Wyatt check on them daily and Julia has even touched them!! I know I can't believe it!! She surprises me more everyday........

Julia tries to steal the spotlight......

Well life around here is always entertaining and interesting to say the least. Lately Maggie has been doing things daily that make us laugh. Her personality is really coming through and I will have you know she has a temper and will not be "walked on" by big sister. Julia says things daily that make us laugh. (she does funny things too like insisting on being in only her panties most of the time adorned with her dress up high heels) It is quite a sight. Ohh and you should see the looks I get from Wyatt when he gets home from work and that is what she is wearing. ...... We also have a birds nest in the fort of Julia's swing set. Wyatt and Jules found it Thursday afternoon and she was soo excited about it. Friday I took the girls out to swing and we played for a while and Julia remembered the nest and went up to check it out and make sure it was still there. She was astounded (and so was I ) to find a blue robin's egg in the nest!!! Whoa.....Do you know how excited she is about the baby bird????!!!!! I will have some more pics soon. I just wanted to get this video up to show off Maggie's moves. I believe she is taking after me with the dancing abilities for sure!! Have a great Saturday!!

Happy Easter.....

Julia before school on Thursday

Being silly

We have had a fun filled week of Easter preparations and activities. Julia went to school this week and they dyed eggs and had lots of fun. Maggie has cut her 2 top teeth and has been suffering from a runny nose all week. True to form she has been in a fine mood and her enormous appetite has not wavered in the least. I started getting concerned yesterday because she sounds hoarse and she was coughing and congested. So this morning I sent Wyatt and Julia to the church Easter Egg hunt and I took Maggie to the doctor. She had a low temp but otherwise looked good (no ear infection and lungs sounded clear). He decided it was a sinus infection and we will take amoxil for 10 days. Julia had a blast in the windy cold air at the egg hunt and Maggie is now resting peacefully. She had a hard time sleeping last night so she was beat. Tomorrow we will head to church early since Wyatt is headed to Canada in the afternoon and the girls and I will celebrate with a feast at Jill and Tim's house (Julia's friend's house too Gracie Jones). I feel very blessed to have friends to be with since we are far from family.

We also went to visit the Easter Bunny at the mall yesterday. The girls did great. Julia had already decided that she was going to sit on the bench next to the bunny and Mags would sit in his lap. It all worked out well and I was even able to get some pics too!! The only blunder was that Maggie (as usual) took a bump to the forehead about 15 min before the picture. She has a nice swollen blue knot on her head but you can't really see it in the picture. That girl she is a tough one at least.

Have a Happy Easter Weekend!!
