We found the first signs of
spring today. After raking up big piles of leaves we found a
few little purple flowers poking through. Crocus, right? I
should know this, but always doubt myself.

In an area of no doubt… Eve is a thriving baby girl! We
took her in for her 2 year check-up today and the doctors (we
saw our regular pedi and a med student) we both impressed with
her physical and verbal abilities, and even more impressed with
her cooperative nature during the exam! :) She was a champ! She
even took the lead test finger prick without even a grimace.
She weighs 28lbs and is 35″, both about 70th percentile on the
grow charts. She’s an active, happy, thriving little person.
We’re blessed to have her!

We are taking the kids for professional
pictures this weekend and I’ve been talking with Lex a lot
about how nice it would be if he cooperated. We have even
offered to take him to Chuck E. Cheese (right across the
street) for lunch if he acts nice for the photographer. Bribery
is ok, right?? :) Today I thought they looked really cute in
their almost coordinating outfits so I asked Lex if we could
practice for Saturday. This is what we got (with a bunch of
sillier ones in between). I’ll be happy if he does this will on
Saturday :)
