what's daddy doing out there?

pictures

just a few random pictures from the past couple weeks...

Blake is thrilled about his new 'work shop' in his room. He likes to help daddy fix things around the house. The other night he was laying in bed and sang songs about going to Home Depot for a good half hour! Dad liked that!


Mmm, spaghetti! Brenna's first spaghetti and she loved it. She's still just a little peanut but will eat anything we put in front of her and often eats more than her brother at supper time.



Brenna's not too sure about the hug, but brother loves to give them.

after church today we tried to get a couple pictures of the kids on front of some of the beautiful flowers in our yard, this is the best of our attempt. =)

we're home

I apologize for the lack of blogging lately- but if you've ever moved with two kids ages 2 and under, you can understand why! We are officially moved into our new house but not even close to feeling settled yet. There are still many boxes to unpack, rooms to paint and not enough time in the day to get everything crossed of our check list.

We are, however, loving our new neighborhood. Everyone who walks by our house in the evenings stops to chat, the neighbor kids stop by to say hi on their way home from school, we had a couple May baskets on our front step, and the neighbors are planning a grill out so we can really get to know everyone. I think we're going to like it here. =)

happy spring

a big day

Yesterday we closed on our new house! We are so excited. I am looking forward to getting some painting done this week before we move on Saturday.

Last night we took some things over and gave Blake the tour of the house. He was giddy as we walked through the house. It was so fun to see him so excited. As we were getting ready to leave for the night, Blake closed the door to the room we were in and said, "I like this house, Mommy."

Lot's of pictures in today's post... it's been a while! This picture represents our life right now. We are still living in a little rental while we await the closing of our new house... 16 days!! We are not enjoying living out of boxes but it's well worth the end result.

Last weekend we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Blake always has a blast and we even got to spend some time with our friends, the Daleske's. Blake and Elizabeth are good buddies.




Brenna playing with her toy kitchen. She has been changing so much over the last 2 weeks... and started sleeping through the night!! We are thrilled!



Our rental has an unfinished basement and we actually spend a lot of time down there playing. Brenna loves to ride in this little car, if you couldn't tell by the excitement of her face!


Blake is learning to ride his tricycle and doing quite well.

Today we went to and Easter carnival and saw the Easter Bunny. Blake wasn't too interested as he was more interested in the balloons and games set up around the gym. Brenna on the other hand, loved the bunny and it didn't phase her one bit when she was being held by him. I didn't get a picture of Brenna with the bunny but a friend did and I will try to get it posted when I get it from her.

Go Cats!

Doesn't she look so grown up in this picture?

Next weekend we are looking forward to a trip to Kansas for Easter weekend. I think Grandma Farwell is planning an Easter egg hunt! =)
