Dying Easter Eggs

Tonight we had dinner over at PaPa and Gigi's and dyed Easter Eggs!! Andrew loved all of the colors and Nathan slept right through everything :)


Andrew giving the eggs a stir.


Looks like the orange egg is just about ready!!


Picking out stickers to decorate the colored eggs - such decisions :)

Two Peas in a Pod :)

Nathan has a therapeutic swing that we just installed and of course Andrew wouldn't let Nathan have all the fun in the swing by himself. They just laughed and laughed while swinging and loved every minute of it.


Nathan making sure Andrew stays on his side of the swing :)

Congrats, Uncle Todd!!

Congratulations Uncle Todd on finishing another Master's degree!! Todd graduated today from the University of San Diego with a Master's of Science in Global Leadership. We are so proud of you!!

Pizza Party

We finally brought Nathan out for the first time while visiting with some friends. We enjoyed some yummy pizza and hanging out. We tried to get a picture with all of the kiddos, but some decided not to cooperate - whose kid is that?!?!


Nathan (in awe of his big brother's terrible behavior), Andrew (couldn't get off of the couch fast enough), Ellie, Addison, Nicholas, Benjamin, Cole and Kaitlyn - all picture perfect :)

Springtime Magic

This morning Andrew and I headed to Parkway's Early Childhood Center for some Springtime Magic :) Andrew was able to make a kite, bug catcher and plant some flowers. They had lots of activities for the kiddos to participate in and we can't wait to actually be outside soon!!

Nathan's Famous :)

In today's St. Louis Post Dispatch, Nathan made his first public debut :) We are enrolled in Capable Kids and Families which supports families with children experiencing any type of developmental delay. For Nathan, this program has been AWESOME providing him equipment and developmental toys helping him continue progress with all of his therapy. Steve and I cannot say enough about this program and the support they give to our family and especially little Nathan. We were thrilled to have been able to help out with the article and get Capable Kids and Families the much needed exposure for continued and future funding.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind always be at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

We hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!!

Read Across America

Parkway hosted a variety of fun reading activities as part of the annual Read Across America celebration. Andrew met some storybook characters and had lots of fun with several Dr. Seuss books.

The Great Outdoors!!

It's GREAT to finally be able to get outside!! We are loving these warmer evenings and can't wait for Spring and Summer to get here :) Here are just a few pics of the boys outside in the early evening waiting for Daddy to get home.


Andrew all smiles and Nathan trying to get to his hearing aid.


Got a little smirk :)


Andrew loving the bridge.

Keeping Busy

Andrew is always up to something these days keeping busy at Grandma and Pops' house. I must have been out of the room a little too long and Andrew's baby must have really made a mess...


Took about 15 or so wipes for this "dirty" diaper :)


Just loungin' after a hard day's work - ha!!
