St. Patrick's Day

Greta was just beside herself when the leprechauns came and messed up all her and Gabriel's toys.  She even wrote them a note telling them to leave her house alone, but it didn't work.  Luckily, she was a great help cleaning up the huge mess they left. 

My Loves...

 Greta Mary...You are an incredible gift from God.  You have been blessed with so many talents that I hope you always remember to use...your imagination, creativity, zest for life, sense of caring and being in-tuned to other's feelings, infectious smile, sense of humor, intelligence, and beauty.  You are an amazing little girl, and I know one day you will be a wonderful women.  I love you with my whole heart.

 Gabriel Patrick...Your smile and chubby cheeks light up a room and win over the hearts of many.  You're my snuggle boy and have always melted my heart.  I love your innocence, giggle, sweet personality, and your love for the people around you.  You, too, could have only been made by God.  I hope you will always know how much you are loved and forever will be.

Valentine's Day!

Our V-Day consisted of the kids snuggling in bed with their new fleece blankets Mommy made them for Valentine's Day, lunch at school with Daddy (Greta had heart-shaped chicken nuggets and a chocolate cupcake), pizza for supper, and a family movie to end the night.  I couldn't ask for a better family!

Six Months

6 Month Stats:

Gabriel has started solid foods (rice cereal, baby oatmeal, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and green beans so far).  He prefers the cereal and orange veggies. :)

He also cut his first tooth on 2/17/14 on the bottom right with his bottom left one soon to follow.

He continues to be the BEST boy!  He loves to laugh, cuddle, smile, roll over on the floor, baths (and being naked), chomping on his little toes, and standing at his activity center to play (with a little help).

Crazy Hair Day

It was Crazy Hair Day at day care on Wednesday!

Are You Ready For Some Football?!?!

We headed to a friend's place and made it through about half the Super Bowl before heading home to bed.  Here's a few pics of my babes...

Daddy and his football.

Skating Queen

Last Friday night we tried roller skating at our local community center, and we'll definitely be back!  It brought back all the memories of Skateland and roller skating around and around in our basement growing up listening to "Tiffany."  Oh, it's so fun sharing the "good old days" with my kids.

Greta was pretty excited about her blue laces.

Gabriel taking it all in.

...and at the end of the night.  Next time we'll have to have them loosen the wheels a little.  :)
