Various ramblings

The past few days have been chilly compared the the 70 degree days we had last week. Boy it was so nice to have the windows in the house open and Ethan commented that it was nice to feel the warm sun on his arms. (so cool that he noticed) He is growing up so fast. He will attend 4 year old kindergarten starting this fall from Mon-Thurs. Rachel is starting to take some steps without our help soon she will be off and running. She said her first word yesterday, that is other than Mama & Dada. BUBBLES... the kids were taking a bath and she got a handful of bubbles and said clear as a bell... bubbles!

My First Photoshop Scrapbook Page

Well, I have made the leap into digital scrapbooking or "digi" as they call it in the industry.

This is a VERY simple page but I like the elements... still learning

I heard birds chirping this morning... could spring be on its way?

Out for a drive

Just about a week ago the kids and I were out for a drive ... really trying to get Rachel to take a nap. And we were out in a new development in the Town of Harrison, which as far as I can tell is just Appleton. Anyway, we are driving around and looking at the new houses when Ethan says "look Ethans drive!" I look up and see the street sign bearing his name... we went back the next day to take a photo. Boy, did I mention that the houses were amazing, and that we will be living in our house for at least another 9 years. :) Love to all Happy MONDAY!

Hurray it's FRIDAY!

I can't watch the kids every minute of every day ... so this is what happened a couple of days ago when I went to take a quick shower!!

Seriously! Then I had to vacuum and Rachel is terrified of the vacuum, she actually visibly shakes when she sees it, it doesn't even have to be plugged in or turned on to have her start crying uncontrollably. So I scooped both of them up took them up to Ethan's room and did a fast clean up.

Lesson Learned - Shower BEFORE daddy leaves for work!
