A place to remember... a place to look forward... a place to cherish... a place to dream... a place to hope.

Strawberry Pickin'
This is a favorite springtime outing for me! I LOVE strawberries and I love taking the kids. I have to admit that I think Chip ate as much dirt as he did strawberries today! :) He also managed to swallow a few strawberry leaves. My how times have changed from the first baby!!! :)
Tired tonight and counting down the days until school is out (FOUR!!), so I'll let the pictures tell the story...
Couldn't help but add a couple of pics of Catie from the same strawberry patch several years ago. :)

Glimpses
into our day to day life...
Chip tinkled in the tub tonight while standing up. It's the first time he's ever "seen" himself tinkle. He thought it was hilarious!! Oh my goodness!! I laughed so hard!
Did you know that if your child covers herself, and I do mean COVERS herself, in BRIGHT PINK MAKEUP, it might not come off if you scrub her with Dial soap, but a little Shout will do the trick? Yes, I "Shouted it out" (or off) of Izzy!
Little boys can climb up and stand on top of toilet seats before they can walk. They are also fascinated with toilet water and will do anything they can to get to it.
There is no sweeter sound than the laughter of my children -- esp. when one is making the other laugh.
Hearing Little Man say, "Wuv you," absolutely melts my heart.
Painting is a very interesting experience when there are 2 young children in the house.
Little boys learn to make things go VROOM VROOM before they learn to talk and when they do learn to talk, "tractor" and "truck" will come shortly after (if not before) MaMa and DaDa.
Izzy cried longer than Chip when she closed his finger in the door and he had to get stitches.
My kids can turn a tub black with dirt faster than I can sneeze on these gorgeous spring days we've been having. I love it!! (except for the cleaning part)
Brownies after the kids go down taste wonderful.
Izzy enjoys saying "Boston Butt" (with a much higher pitch and great emphasis on the latter word) with a huge grin, b/c we don't usually let her say butt . However, saying that we're having Boston Hiney just doesn't sound very appetizing to me.
Sometimes I'm amazed at the amount of potty talk that I engage in on any given day. A lot of life with little children is all about bodily functions.
I love that Izzy knows that Catie was her sister and Chip's sister too. Lately, she's enjoyed looking at pics of Catie, and I love to hear her laugh at them.
