Picking Out Our Tree

We found the perfect tree right away this year! Poor Boss had just woken up from falling asleep in the car, so he was kinda out of it, but the girls had fun. 

Duplos with Dad

The kids are very into building houses with duplos right now. They say, "Look at my house, Mommy!" with such pride in their eyes. 

Babies in Strollers

   On our weekly walk down by the Fort and river. These girlies and their dolls melt my heart. Their dolls are always on their hips and come everywhere with them. Gethey has renamed her doll "Savio Katheryn" after my friend Heather's darling little boy and me. I'm lucky to have gotten the middle name slot. The way they carry on about Baby Savio, I'm surprised her baby isn't named "Savio Savio."

And my baby. Who is now 23 months old. You all know I'm gonna be extra mushy next month when he turns TWO. 

Happy Easter!

8th Anniversary in Cell Phone Pics

Since we couldn't get a babysitter this year, we decided to celebrate our anniversary yesterday as a family in little ways all day long. 

We went out to breakfast at IHOP. The kids ate it out of business.

Then we went shopping for Verity's school supplies. She wanted to bring her doll in shopping with her, holding her on her hip, "Just like you do with Bosco, Mommy." She has wanted this Princess backpack since she saw it several months ago, and has been waiting patiently to do her school shopping to get it. She loves Belle so much, even though she has never seen "Beauty and the Beast."

My lovely anniversary flowers. I am obsessed with hydrangeas.

We we ended the day with a long walk down to the park to pick blackberries. 

Verity:

"Daddy, will you please protect me from the prickles?"

Best Anniversary Yet.
