Updates!

Well as you will see with the 3 posts below I have uploaded some recent pictures of the girls and some of what we have been up to. There are several things not captured on photo that we have been up to as well.

About 2 weeks ago I went back to work, but because of the wonderful economy we have right now I am only back to work 2 days a week. I think right now I have the best of both worlds and am enjoying being out of the house a few days a week but also liking being home with my girls more. Grace loves going to her new providers and in fact most days is asking me to go to work so she can go to Jenny's.

We have switched Norah to Soy Formula because we found out that she coulnd't digest the protein in milk. We have gained a whole new baby with this switch and it makes my days at home much more pleasant. I was for awhile thinking we had a colicky kid, but the formula change really helped with that. Now I also feel like she is thriving a lot more.

Norahs 2 month stats were:
Weight: 10lbs 1oz (25%)
Height: 22 inches (50%)
Head: 15 1/2 inches (75%)

I am excited to see what she is at 4 months as with the new formula I feel like she has put on more weight and is even getting those cute little baby rolls.

Grace is talking a mile a minute. On Maundy Thursday she was the only kid in the nursery and when Scott went to pick her up the lady in the nursery asked if Grace EVER stopped talking. He said no, she pretty much talks all the time. My mom says something about paybacks being hell! (I guess I was a talker) Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am talking to a toddler and not an adult with the things she says. We have hit that point in a toddlers life where they ahve a book memorized and at any point will start reciting it!

On other funny Grace story happened on Palm Sunday, she was allowed to carry a palm branch to the front of the church with the other kids and she loved it, until she had to leave the palm branch at the front of the church. That didn't go over well and I had to go and take a not so happy toddler out of the church. At least we gave everyone something to talk about!

Not much else going on, just living life and getting used to all the changes we have had. Looking forward to the nice weather arriving so we can spend more time outside!

Don't forget to look at the 3 posts below for pictures.

Picture Overload Part 3- HAPPY EASTER!

This is our Easter Duck! She decided that laying her eggs right by our front door was a great idea! I didn't agree, so we had Wildlife Management come and take her and the eggs away!

Don't worry we didn't color the duck eggs, these are chicken eggs that I bought at the store!

This is what Norah did while we were decorating eggs! She found her feet and couldn't figure out how to get them to her mouth.

Grace loved decorating eggs and did a really good job, she was pretty gentle with them we only had a few catastrophes.

Whats Easter without an egg hunt in your front yard?

" I gotta go find more eggs!"

"Look at all my goodies!"

"Hey what is this on me"

"Maybe if I smile mom will take me out of this thing!"

Picture Overload Part 2

Now she gets the exersaucer! When she was supposed to be in it she just sat there and stared at the toys!

She loved playing with the Hula Hoops at the MN Children's Museum

Look what Daddy can do with a washer box!

After a rough day of eating, sleeping and filling my diaper I just need to put my feet up!

"Where are the eggs?" We participated in an Easter Egg hunt at Festival Foods in Onalaska, WI.

This is Norah at 3 months! (can someone please tell me how to turn pictures?)

Picture Overload

Just wanted to show you the fun we've been having the last few months!

Look at me rock!
Oops! Must have rocked too hard!

Wish I had a video camera so I could have taped the serenade we were getting in the van while we were in AZ.

OOOH! If I press the button the frog squirts water!

Maybe I will be a musician!

We thought it was funny that Norah was just as big as the dolls were in the Dr. play area of the Tucson, Children's museum.

She fit perfectly in the suitcase. No worries we didn't bring her home this way!

Sledding with Grandma and Grandpa Vrieze is so fun!

Gotta love chair lifts!
