Weekend Fun

One of the fun new things our family is enjoying for the first time ever is "the weekend." While most people eagerly anticipate Friday and the upcoming wekend, it has been one of our family's busiest times. However, with Jeremy's new job we are enjoying looking forward to this new opportunity for family time. Here are some fun things we've been up to:

A few weeks ago we went to have lunch with my parents on Sunday afternoon. The girls enjoyed checking out Uncle Kit's new motorcycle.


That evening we went to Nana's church so I could talk to the Jr. High girls. The girls had fun playing while I helped. My favorite story from the evening was when someone asked Grace if she was allowed to have pop. Grace said, "Whats pop?" The volunteer told me she decided to give them milk instead. (I wonder how much longer I will get away with that!)

Last weekend was one of my favorite weekends of the whole year- City Wide Garage Sales. My mom, mother-in-law and family friend Judy once again had lots of fun scouting out deals. I mostly bought clothes for little man. Some of my other favorite finds included:
-pink sparkly shoes for Grace
-lots of cute jeans for Faith (somehow we only had one pair of 3T jeans-guess Grace skipped that size)
-a side by side stroller for $20!

-a large floating shelf that is going to be transformed into the perfect mantle for my fireplace (more on that later)
-striped purple p.j.s for Faith that Grace has a matching pair in her size!

My dear husband choose to skip town and go do some work for his dad. He is earning extra money so we can purchase a family pool pass this summer. (So excited about that!) When he got home we used dollars from Gramy to take advantage of the blizzard deal at DQ. The girls wanted chocolate ice cream cones (their new love). As you can see Faith fully enjoyed hers! She licked every drop out of the cone, I don't think she knew you could eat it. And I'm still working on getting that ice cream out of her shirt.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Titus-3 Months

Titus is starting to enjoy batting at his toy arch.
He is also trying to suck on this thumb/fingers. Here Titus is sporting his new outfit from Grandma & Grandpa.
Already bigger than his bear!
Matching shirt with dad- they are SO cute!!!

Big sisters helped feed Titus his first bottle. He didn't fuss a bit. I was thrilled as neither of the girls liked to eat from a bottle.
Titus was 3 months old on Sunday. At his last check-up (about a week ago) he weighed 15.6 lbs. and was 24 inches long! He is rapidly climbing the growth chart. We love having a baby brother in our family.

School

Fun on the playground.
Grace doing her "job" of being the line leader.
Miss Lisa dancing and singing with the kids. Grace's teacher is awesome!! I am so glad she was Grace's first teacher.
Grace and her best bud Brynn.

This week is Grace's last week of "school." She has truly enjoyed getting to go to her class. The class is provided through Missouri's Parents as Teachers program. I totally heart this program and am very sad that they are experiencing major budget cuts. Last week I volunteered in her class and got to sneak a few pictures. Grace told me, "Mom I have two more days of school left and then I go to kindergarten. What is kindergarten?" Oh, no lets not talk about kindergarten yet!! I still have one year to enjoy my "baby" girl at home before that.
