Catch Up Post

Things have been a little crazy around here, so this is a catch up post! Sorry to all the Grandmas who depend on this for adorable pictures of their posterity. I think that there are a couple in here that will make up for my delay though.

It happened! Brooke was finally standing up in her crib when I went to get her from her nap the other day. She's certainly not lacking in personality! That tongue is in almost every picture.

Standing up and walking along the couch has been interesting. She might look like her Dad, but she's got Mommy's stumpy little legs. Poor girl!

The tooth count is at 5 and about to shoot up really fast!

Mike was less than enthused to have his picture taken.

Eryn wanted her hair curled like her cousin Allie did in her pictures. She sat really still and let me curl it with the curling iron. Then, she ran around all day saying that she was a pretty princess and begging for her Sunday dresses. (Where did she come from?)

Eryn enjoys reading stories to Brooke. Brooke likes playing with toys and pretending to be interested in what Eryn's reading from time to time.

Every mom will appreciate this one. I said, "Stop jumping on the couch!!!!!!!" Then, I walked away to go do something else. When I heard the jumping again this is what I found. Technically they weren't jumping on the couch. How does a 3 yr old figure out stuff like that?

My brother Sam has been working 12 hr shifts of patrolling in Iraq and is able to call home and use the Internet so we can stay connected and up to date with him far more than we had first thought.

Mike's Dad had his appendix out yesterday and is doing well. (One of his younger brothers had his out either last month or the month before.) Needless to say, it's been difficult on his Mom and whole family with people in and out of the hospital. His 2 sisters are due to have their babies very soon also. Andrew is preparing for his mission and will be leaving at the end of June.
