It's Official....

Rachel is walking and it's great.  She gets such a kick out of being able to do it and I love it.

Almost better than Christmas

For the girls birthdays Grandma and Grandpa Merkley did a combined gift.  I had told Lauren what it was a little before it came and we waited less than patiently all day for the mailman to come.   Just after 5pm our large box arrived.  Lauren was sooo excited,  I don't think I have ever seen a more excited look on her face, I wish I took a picture.

The girls love it and we have taken it our for a ride almost every single day.

And of course the box is at least just as cool, if not more so than what was inside of it.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Merkley!!!!!!!

Spring Break

I love spring time in Bloominton

So for our very last spring break ever we had some fun plans.  We started off Friday night making little pizzas and a cool fort or palace as Lauren referred to it.  Sadly that is about the coolest thing that happened,. Both girls were sick for the entire week with what we thought was strep but turned out just to be a bad bug or something.  We did get to watch some March Madness though.

Our fort aka "The Palace"

March Madness with Dad

Rachel really enjoyed, Lauren lost interest after about 5 minutes
and just wanted to read her books.
