Fun bath time

Ben has started crawling and I have forgotten how vigilant I have to be in watching him. I went to clean up the dishes while Kate was in the bath and when I came back this is what I found. Kate loved getting her brother all wet and he loved playing with her in the bath. Luckily it was only water.

More of Colorado

Here are some more pictures of our trip. The kids got a lot of candy and had a great Easter.








Our trip to Colorado

For Easter we went to Colorado to visit Herb's brother and his family. We had a great time. The kids got to have 2 Easter egg hunts and Kate and Elle had a great time playing together. The kids also loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fun trip.

Our big news


This last Friday we announced that we are having another baby in October. We were shocked to find out that we were pregnant. We are soo excited. Kate can't wait for her "baby sister" to come. I try to prepare her that it could be a boy but she is adamant that it is a girl. We will be grateful for either one. Ben and the baby will be 18 months apart. It is close but we aren't the first ones to do it!!

Our Children





Ben is 10 months old and a lot of fun. He is almost crawling and is good at playing by himself. He loves his "dada" and can't get enough of his big sister. He loves to watch her and laughs at anything she does. They are very cute together.
Kate is 5 years old and a lot of fun also. She has just learned how to tie her shoes and zip up her coat. She loves going to preschool where she is learning to read and has a lot of friends. I love this picture of her reading to Ben because it shows how patient she is with him. We have been surprised at how good she is with him. Even when he is bugging her she is patient and still loves him. We love our children and feel so grateful for them.
