these pictures have been nesting on my camera and phone for some time now...time to share our spring time events. the one above was about two weeks after isaac's surgery. you can tell he still wasn't quite his normal self but trying to hard to help elise, papa and daddy as they mulched oma and papa's yard. below, even reese got into the action! our two maurices :)
the boy loves to eat!
out on our mama/daughter date
elise's new thing is to pose like this for every picture! here justin was sharing our boatload of sand with oma and papa's sandbox...she was "helping"
i know isaac is practically strangling maurice in this pic, but i love izie's face. these two are becoming friends as well as brothers and i love it. maurice will run up to isaac now, trying to instigate him into a wrestling match or a game of chase. it's hilarious!
elise's first trip to the dentist. she was awesome. the hygienist was amazing. and loodle had no cavities!!
did i mention he loves to eat?! he fell asleep on the way home from church with food crusted to his face and hands.
a playground date with two families very dear to us.
so you can tell he's our third child...the kids always get lollipops for finding the monkey in trader joe's. maurice is now old enough to want one though i was certain he was too young to have one. so we just let him hold it. sure enough...about half way home, he got the lollipop out of the wrapper and victoriously showed it to all of us. before i knew it, he was slowly tasting his new found treasure and it didn't take long for him to be coated in stickiness. way to persevere little man!!
we took a field trip to the fire station with a bunch of other families. here are some of my favorites...
