Park Day

Last Wednesday we hit a high of 60 degrees! To celebrate I decided to take the kids to the park to play, completely forgetting that it might still be covered in snow. We had to go back home and get boots.

Carter had a lot of fun playing for the first time at the playground.

Reagan was a great big sister and played with Carter on the tire swing and slide.

I got a good shot of all of Carter's new teeth. His front top tooth finally broke through yesterday.

We're going to have a lot of fun this summer at the park.

Little Leprechauns

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It is a beautiful day here in Southern New Hampshire. The sun is shining, birds are chirping and it's right around 50 degrees.

Carter didn't mind wearing the shamrock headband at all. He even wore it on our walk this afternoon in the neighborhood.

Curly Q's

Carter's hair is starting to get curly and lighter. When it's wet, it gets really curly. I gave him a bath yesterday morning and took some pictures of his curly hair.

Then I couldn't resist taking a few of him in his cute overalls, which are 18-24 months and only an inch too long!

My parents called yesterday evening and Carter "talked" to them for a few minutes.

He loves sticking that tongue out.

Got Cookies?

Reagan's Daisy troop had their cookie booth sale on Saturday at the Mall in Manchester. Actually, it wasn't the troop, just Reagan and me because everyone else was busy.

Here's the van loaded down in the parking before we started.



This is the booth we had at the mall. Reagan stacked all the boxes into pyramids.

Reagan was a trooper and did a great job. One lady bought 3 cases of Thin Mints (that's 36 boxes)! Jeff was sad that we sold completely out of Thin Mints. We came home with some of Reagan's favorite, the Lemon Creams.

We had a lot of fun, but learned that Reagan takes after her parents and really doesn't enjoy the hard sell.

The End is Officially Here

My carefree days are over. This afternoon Carter was happily playing with his toys in the family room. I left the room for 1 minute to get something and when I came back, this is what I found:

Reagan was at school or she would've stopped him mid-climb from reaching her stuff.

He was not happy when I took him down. He still has a tear in his eye in this picture.

Snowman

On Monday we got dumped with snow from yet another storm. Tuesday afternoon Reagan went out to play on the swing set, fetch with Ella and build a snowman.

Jeff got home from work in time to help her finish it.

Happy 50th Papa!

My Dad's birthday is today. Unfortunately, we cannot be there to celebrate this milestone with him because my parents live in sunny Southern California and we live in what feels like the North Pole.

The grandkids wanted to wish their Papa a Happy Birthday. Reagan made the sign all by herself.

Hope you have a great birthday Dad! We love you and miss you.
