First Smile

Tonight while Titus and I were snuggling on the couch he smiled at me for the first time. It totally melted my heart. He actually smiled like 3 times in a row. You know you are a mom when something so simple can totally make your day! It made that super long hard pregnancy and six weeks of sleepless nights totally worth it. I can't believe he is six weeks old, it really is going fast. I love you my little man.

Jeremy tried to get a picture. But it really doesn't show how big of a grin he rewarded us with, so hopefully we will better capture his precious smile with the camera soon.

Happy Birthday Grace

While Grace was at school Faith helped pick out her gift & all the special things we needed for her Fancy Nancy party.

I can't believe my baby is 4! She is getting so grown up. On Thursday Grace took treats for her class. I made these cookies that were a huge hit. If you like peanut butter and chocolate you should try them. She also made a Birthday crown at school to wear. On her birthday we had to take Titus to the doctor because he was sick. She informed me, "Mom, I do not want to spend my birthday at the doctor." I explained that it was important and we didn't really have a choice. That night we went to Little People City and Jo Jo and "Cake" (Josie's boyfriend Jake) spent the night. It was such a busy day we ended up having a special birthday breakfast & opening her gifts the next morning. Grace's main gift was a sleeping bag. She has decided that when Spring comes our family is going camping. She was very worried how she could go camping without a sleeping bag, so now she is all set. (If only I was all sent to camp with 3 kids under 4!) But the big excitement for her birthday this year was her Fancy Nancy party. (future post coming soon)

Little People City

On Grace's birthday we got to enjoy some free fun. The Parents as Teachers program hosted a family event called, Little People City. It was lots of fun and kind of crazy because it was very crowded. Apparently our house isn't the only one with cabin fever. The event was as the school Grace goes to. The kids brought their bikes to ride around the "city." Faith drove her shopping cart. There were all sorts of places to visit. The girls had LOTS of fun. My sister and her boyfriend came with us so we actually got some pictures.

Faith loved the Beauty shop. She got her nails painted and her hair turned pink!

At the police station Grace practiced dialing 9-1-1.
At the park Faith needed some help shooting baskets, good thing Titus is happy in the sling.

We visited the Music Shop, Art Shop, Fire Station, Police Station, Hunting & Fishing Store, Dentist Office, Hospital, "Park", Beauty Shop, Bank, & Farm. It was so crowded we didn't even have time for everything.
