Happy, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to MeeMee!! We love you and hope you have a wonderful day! You are the best grandmother and great-grandmother. We're sorry the party had to be postponed, but we are looking forward to having it rescheduled.

Our "Fantasket" Day

We had a busy, and as Kate would say "fantasket," day. Matt worked till eleven, and then we had to go run some errands. During the girls' nap, Matt continued to work on our built-in bookshelf for the den. It's coming along.

After the girls woke up, we hit the Chik-Fil-A family night. The girls always love this. I am happy to report Elliott does not share the cow fear that Kate had at her age. Elliott even gave the cow a high five. There were some girls there, performing Irish dancing. Kate got to go up with them and dance for a minute. She was a little shy while she was up there, but when we got home, she put on tap shoes and kept asking Elliott if she wanted to dance. She tried to "teach" Elliott the dance steps.

We capped off the night with a trip to the park. Hopefully this means everyone will be happy to go to bed.

Still Here

We are finally (mostly) settled into our new house. We still have some projects to work on, and some organizing left to do, but the house is now relatively child-proofed. This makes my job much easier!

We are loving the new house. The floor plan has been great. The girls have their own special playroom upstairs-- complete with a little kitchen, playhouse, tea party table, grocery store and baby doll area (thanks Moo Moo!!). I have a toy box on the main floor, and the lower level has a kitchen, kid table and toy food. So, no matter what floor we're on, they are able to play. 

We also love the extra family time that living so close to Matt's work allows us. Here are some pics from the last few weeks...

Chocolate chip pancakes!! The girls love it when dad is in charge of breakfast.

Post-nap. We woke up on the right side of the bed.

Friday morning craft time. Elliott thought the marker was delicious. She wasn't too happy when she realized it was all over her.

Lately

I know I haven't been very good about posting pictures lately. We had a spur of the moment trip to Oklahoma, for Matt's grandfather's funeral. I will get pictures up from our trip as soon as I get a chance to go through them.

Here are a couple random shots from the other day, until I can get our OK pictures uploaded.

                        

video dump

So... I haven't posted any videos lately. That's because they take FOREVER to upload onto youtube. I finally dumped all of our videos, since Christmas, into a folder. Here are several of them, in no particular order (disclaimer- most of these videos will only be entertaining to grandparents).

fun with daddy

This morning I taught Kids' Sunday School at church. Since Elliott has a cold, Matt stayed home with the girls. When I got home Kate was sporting some new tatts. She's been begging all week to put on her tattoos, and I kept telling her we had to wait till daddy was home to put them on.
