With baby number three on the way, we've been looking for a better car for the family. A Honda Civic can only work for so long....so here's my new ride. I can now blend into the sea of minivans and feel confident that I can tote all our crap around the country with ease. I feel validated as a mother and am no longer "making due" when it come to getting around with the kids. Well, I'm sure I can come up with some errands to run. I'm outta here!

Boston

Justin and I went to Boston last weekend for a little kid free get away. We had a great time and hope to take that trip again someday. Thanks to my sweet mother who managed to take care of the little people while we were gone. She didn't just keep them alive, she took them to the movies and Chuck E. Cheese. They didn't even miss us.

Shoes

I've always liked shoes and watching my girls dress up, but I've never been a fan of "dress up shoes". But these little Minni-Mouse shoes are so cartoonish and funny...and on clearance, I just had to get them. By the way, Laura's trying to flash a wink in this picture.

Sick-0s

We're finally getting over the crud around here...just in time for allergy season. Two weeks ago Alice was dealing with an ear infection and junk. Then Laura followed along. The difference is Alice is a happy little patient...Laura, not so much. She's the kind that wants everyone around her to be as upset as she is. This picture is of her during a "good moment".

Cheers

The weather was so nice this past weekend...after all those snow days. The girls enjoyed their Sunday lunch out in the backyard.

Snow

We had two snow days in a row, and the girls enjoyed it their own different ways. Laura wanted to be out in the snow and cold. She loved the sledding, the stomping, and the licking. Alice wanted to stay warm inside with the heater at her feet and a cup of hot chocolate in her hand.

Sweetness

We were getting ready for church on Sunday and the kids were rolling around like worms on our bed. Laura jumped on Alice and started hugging her and proclaiming, "I love her!"
