Welcome Spring

A few weeks ago we took Kate to the Spring Arts and Craft Show at Kelly and Billy's church.  I'm not real sure what it is about the Easter Bunny that freaks out all children...they seem to be even more afraid of him than Santa Claus.  Kate and Will were no exception that day.  Will kept saying to Kelly (through tears), "Go into the other room, please!" ...meaning the room that the Easter Bunny was not in.  We did manage to sneak a picture with him, but only so long as I was holding her.  I guess I kinda get it...I've never really seen an Easter Bunny who didn't look at least a little strange.

Her face says it all..."I know I'm supposed to look happy, but I'm terrified!"

The Singing Princesses were at the show...we didn't have to twist Kate's arm so tightly to get a picture with "Belle" ;)

Julee and Grammy were in town visiting so they came along with us

The boys are officially 8 months old now.  Matthew is sitting up very well on his own now; John is still working on it.  These shots were taken on their 8 month "birthday."

Matthew---rockin' the hiney dimples!

Looking like a big boy :(

John thinks just about everything is funny, except when he is tired or hungry

Yes, John, Mommy got a naked shot of your brother so we have to get one of you, too

When did they get this big?!?!?!

The weather has been outstanding lately.  It has been really warm around here for several weeks now...a very early Spring for us.  I can't imagine what the summer will be like, but I must say it has been so nice getting outdoors and enjoying it.  The kids love to be outside.  

I have to say this now about our 3 children because I know it could be over as soon as tomorrow, but they just love each other to pieces.  Anytime Kate walks into the room the boys light up and start giggling.  They love to watch her and are interested in everything she does.  And I think she is equally into them...she loves talking to them, playing with them in the floor, and pushing them around outside.   I'm sure they will read that one day and think, "What was she, NUTS?!?!"  

Sweet babies...

A few times the past few weeks I have had Josh around lunchtime for a short time while Kathryn ran to pick up the kids for us.  It is no small task managing three babies, even for a short time.  I used to say I had no idea how moms of twins do it...now I say I have no idea how moms of triplets (or more!) do it.  At least I have TWO arms!  I have a new level of respect...

This past weekend Joe took Kate fishing along with our dear friends the McMurray's.  I'm not sure who was more excited, Kate or Joe, but he said she did really well for her first trip!

Big catch

Hugh looks like he's having way too much fun

Oh goodness almost forgot to mention.  We have teeth now!  Both boys have one bottom tooth poking through as of this past weekend...finally!  We were beginning to wonder if they actually were going to get any teeth at all.  Kate was just about this same age when she got her first tooth, too.
