Two Fingers???

Gavin is really into pointing out all his facial features and calling them by name. I'd never seen him pull this one before--apparently both fingers needed to point out his nose!

Trailer Ride

Chris was loading the trailer full of debris from our yard and Gavin thought it would be a fun place to sit. Then, he started chewing on a leaf. Toddlers...

Out for a Ride

My dad needed our Jeep for a day, so he let us use the convertible. You can't park a convertible in a girl's driveway on a sunny day and expect her not to take it out for a ride! I put the windows up for Gavin's sake. He said wheeeee, a lot.

Mommy's Shoes

Daddy's shoes are huge and weigh about 5 pounds each, so Gavin likes to walk around in mommy's shoes. He's a silly one!

My Sweet Dera

Dera got to come and visit a week, or so, ago. He couldn't believe that Gavin was walking and talking already. He had a lot of fun playing with Gavin and Gavin enjoyed having Dera to play with, too.

There is still no family for Dera--he is living in a group home. We hadn't seen him since September! The visit went well. It definitely did me a lot of good to see him and to give him a great big hug. The visit seems to have helped him, as well. Now, we're all just hoping they'll find a family for him very soon.

Me

I don't post many pictures of myself, since I'm usually the one taking them. Chris' sister snapped this one on Easter, so I figured I could post it!

Playing with a Toy

Reily is finally playing with a toy. I don't know what's up with the look on his face, though.

My Big Boy

Gavin likes to eat at his own table these days. He's such a big boy.

Clear Spaghetti Sauce

Seriously, I'm going to start working on a clear spaghetti sauce. I think I could make a fortune off all the moms who have a picture (or 12) like this.

Identical Cousins

Maybe they don't look the same, but they do share the same birthday! Kacey was looking at her mom and Reily was looking at me when we took this first picture. Then, Kacey started pestering Reily. We broke it up eventually, but I think she'll be able to hold her own, with her two boy cousins, in the future.

Chris' Family

We spent Easter with Chris' family. His sister Katie is holding Kacey. Kelly's on the left (Kacey's mom), Rose is in the middle, and Chris' mom, Roz, is on the right.

Hunting for Eggs

My parents hid eggs all over our living room and dining room for Gavin to find. He had a lot of fun, especially once he discovered that there were a few jelly beans inside each egg.

Spaghetti Face II

Well, not spaghetti exactly, but this is what happens when you give a sleepy toddler lasagna. He ate a lot, but apparently, even more wound up on his face.

Mr. Potato Head?

Gavin loves the Mr. Potato Head glasses. He insisted that I put them on Reily the other day. Reily was a good sport about it.

Toddler Days

Gavin is such a toddler. He's in to climbing on everything. I was sitting at my computer and glanced over to see what he was doing and he was on top of his lego box. Then, I spotted him on top of our ottoman (in the corner). Of course, being the kind of mom I am, I just let him climb. About one second after I took this second picture, he fell off. Tears followed, but once he was done with that, he was right back at it!

First Day of Spring

The first day of spring was a while ago--not that you'd know it if you went outside today--but, my boys were ready in their matching shirts! Aren't they cute???

Daxton

McKenya and Daxton came for a visit today. We were very busy with three little boys, but we found a couple of moments to snap a few pictures.
