Sarah sits up!


Sarah has just started sitting up on her own! She's still a little wobbly, but she's getting a little better every day.

For Spring Break, Matt took a few days off and we went to San Antonio. Grandma took us and Aunt Sarah to the Texas Transportation Museum. The name might not be too exciting, but it it a 2-year-old paradise!

They have a real, full-size train to ride around the premises; a building full of old cars and carriages, including an old fire-truck you can climb up into; a passenger train set up to walk through; and several big mock-up model train sets. Michael loved it!


My mom and Alison came to visit last week and we took another trip to the zoo to see what we missed last time. I think the coolest thing of all was the komodo dragon. I think Michael probably liked the monkeys the best.

Michael wanted to wear a tie to church yesterday, just like Dad, so we made him one out of a wide piece of ribbon. He was very proud. --And it makes him look so grown-up.

Michael is such a sweet boy! He decided to share all of his frogs with Sarah one day. He piled them up all over her, and she was literally covered with frogs. (This picture was taken after I removed them from covering her face.)

Just a sweet smile.

Birthday Blowout

Not sure why, but I couldn't get this to post to the last update, but here it is.

Michael had been trying to blow out the candle for several minutes before we even began recording . . .

Michael's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Michael's second birthday this past month. We had a little party for him at home the day of, and then had a "real" party for him when Grandma came to visit the week after, including a trip to the zoo.

Balloons + static = fun!

One of Grandma's gifts was a magnetic sketch pad. Michael loves it, and Mom & Dad love it because it's one of the few toys we've found that will keep him quiet during church!


Michael loved the zoo! Sadly it's so big, he wore out about half-way through. We'll just have to go back.


The giraffes were a highlight.

Run for your life, goat! Michael had sooo much fun in the petting zoo. Those goats are really well trained. They get non-stop toddler lovin' dawn to dusk and take it all in stride.


Sarah got her first "solid" meal this past week, and some of it actually made it down her throat.
