Easter and other things...

Finally decided to sit down and take the time to upload some photos! Tons of them! ;)

These first couple are from Maria's birthday. Duncan joined in singing Happy Birthday :)


Sugar high from the birthday cake!

Duncan curled up on the couch napping with Sally.

Now here's an interesting sleeping position.
Mike and Maria got to go see some boiling of the sap - Maple sugaring time. This first picture shows an older method of boiling.

And this one is a newer method.

Mike and Duncan sitting in the tree.

Look at all those eggs!

And the Hunt is on!








Maria's Easter Basket had a saxophone playing bunny ;)

Easter candy sugar high coming on!

The kids have been really digging playing in the yard!


We spent Easter weekend and the whole following week outside! It got up to 74 degrees on Friday! Then of course went down to the low 60s on Sat, and Sunday this weekend?? Yep, it was below 30 and snowing!!! Crazy! But we're hoping that's the end of it! Looking for warmer weather to stick around from here on out. Until at least October ;)

The Latest Greatest ;)

Has it really been that long since I posted??? Time is just absolutely flying by! Most of the reason I haven't posted anything in so long is because I am still having issues uploading photos, which got much worse after I upgraded to IE8... I think it has to do with our internet service provider, so one of these days when I have an hour or so to spare I will have to call and try to figure it out!

In the meantime...

Maria has been busy with school and Twilight and being bored (as per her usual myspace status updates, which usually say something about being bored!) :) She turned 12 at the beginning of this month! I tried really hard to upload photos the next day, but turned out to be a big disappointment... She had a very Twilight birthday, which she enjoyed. It seems like just yesterday she was turning 11!

Duncan is about ready for his summer hair-cut! Its amazing how fast his hair grows! We are working on potty training, and its going fairly decent. I think he's pretty ready. He's been just loving playing outside! Its the first thing he asks about every morning. And he never seems to want to come in.

Beatrice.. well she's still as full of attitude as ever ;) She's starting to talk a bit more. And harrass her big brother. She's getting some curl to what little hair she has :) And she has also been really digging the outside play! I always have to drag her kicking and screaming inside when its time to come in.

Mike is busy preparing stuff for his big research trip at the end of May. He did a guest lecture at Purdue a few weeks ago. Actually, we all went with and visited a family friend. It was a really good trip. And with the purchase of a portable DVD player, the kids did excellent on the trip!

Me? I'm just pretty much big and tired :) Already at that "hard to get comfy" stage of pregnancy. Its just hard to believe that I only have about 2 months to go! This pregnancy has just really flown by.

Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures soon! Until then, hope everyone is doing well!
