Finding Our Smiles

Andrew appears to be exhibiing a severe case of the Terrible Twos. Over the past 2 weeks, he's decided to grab almost any object and bellow "Mine!", say "No!" to everything and absolutely rage at me when he doesn't get his way. Whew! It's been exhausting for all of us. I know this phase will pass and trust me, we don't cave to his not-so-desirable behaviors. So, I'm posting this picture I snapped of the kids eating some Pop Rocks candy last night. It reminded me that there is my funny, sweet, silly little boy in there and I'm looking forward to seeing him more often :)

Worst Easter Egg Hunt Ever

Andrew freaked out during the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Why? We don't know......but he sure was miserable.

Enjoying Some Early Spring Weather

We've been treated to a week's worth of spring like weather. You better believe we took advantage of it and played outside everyday. Parks, playgrounds, backyards, neighbors and sunshine were all thoroughly enjoyed. Lily and Andrew are truly outdoor kids who just enjoy the freedom of running in wide open spaces. It's fun to see them get so much enjoyment.

Kindergarten Musical!

Tonight we were treated to the 5 kindergarten classes in Lily's school putting on their musical. The theme was "ABCs", the costumes were fun, the songs were performed with gusto and the end result was adorable. I'm not sure what's more endearing.....100+ kindergarteners singing their hearts out or 300+ parents and grandparents snapping photos and waving. It's hard to say. Lily brought her "entourage" which consisted of 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 1 uncle and 1 little brother. Lily performed her songs well and we all had a great time. On a side note, it's no secret that Andrew thinks the sun rises and sets over Lily. When he first saw Lily in her queen costume tonight he said her name with awe. By the way, Andrew's Lily sounds like "Yeh-yeh." He just couldn't get enough of her and was rushing to stay next to her when we coming downstairs for pictures. In the first picture, Andrew is actually hugging her and saying "My Yeh-Yeh."
