Grandpa Ralph

Today, while Mommy slept, Daddy took J&O to the store and bought a football and a soccer ball ("kick ball"). They had a great time enjoying the fabulous weather. Life is good!!!! On a more somber note, Grandpa Ralph passed away on Thursday. He was 90yrs old and died in his recliner at home. He was a good man. He will be missed!!!

Spring has Sprung!

We are sooooo enjoying the warm weather! And we just love having our yard to play in. it has made a great deal maker for naps "If you go and take a good nap, we can play outside when you wake up!" Works like a charm!! So far anyway. The time change is great also. They have been sleeping until 7am again (after shifting to a 6am wakeup for the past few weeks). Anyway, things are great here with the girls. We're just waiting for summer!

I just wanted to jot down a few of the funny things that J&O have been saying lately...

J to O : "Look at me. (O looks) Cough for me (O coughs). Thank you" Such a parrot, as we have been asking her to do that all week!

J: "Hey! Mommy!"

J: "Hey! Dad!" instead of daddy

both, whenever they crawl anywhere: "I crawl like Ellinor!" Ellinor knows how to walk now.

O, coloring with a yellow marker : "Sunny Day! Sunny Day!" (as in, the theme from Sesame st).

O, when I opened the car door and sun got in her eyes "Sunny Day!" very sad.

"I wanna ride it." O when she saw uncle Mike's quad in the garage. And then the next day, after explaining to her why she could NOT ride the quad...

" I wanna ride it. Too dangris (dangerous)".
