Easter, etc.

Sorry I am just now updating from Easter. We have been traveling quite a bit and are finally home for a few weekends. We anticipate with excitement our next trip to visit the newest addition to our family, Brayden Christopher, whose mother is willing him to come early! I told her that didn't really work for me; but that doesn't mean I don't want it to work for her! Okay, back to Easter... . We went to Windermere the weekend before to visit Brian's grandparents, Grandma Marge and Grandpa Stan. Then it was off to Brian's dad's house for a Wolfe reunion of sorts. Sadly, this reunion was the first without Uncle Paul, who lost his battle with cancer in March. We had a wonderful time together, remembering him and hunting Easter eggs. Enjoy the pics HERE!

This SMILE...

Okay, so this isn't a smile; but it is a funny face picture!

Got an A+ at the dentist office on Monday. It was Ellie's first trip and I was really worried she would freak out; but since she had been the week prior with her friends Jake and Brock (their mom, Brooke, kept Ellie for me during which time they had appts.), she was already familiar with the place. She had no cavities and great spacing and the perfect amount of overbite (which I always struggled with since I sucked my thumb FOREVER), which means that when her adult teeth come in, they should not have any problems crowding each other. Translation - straight teeth and no braces. That would be awesome!

The 'FREAKING' Water

I'm cracking up as I write this post! Mommy's potty mouth strikes again. I am really good at not cursing at all and especially around the girls; but there are times - and you know what I mean, moms - when you really wish you could say what's it your head because you really think it might convince them that you're serious about being quiet or sitting down or whatever it is you're trying to get them to do! This time, that wasn't the case. I stepped out of the car to meet an old friend for lunch the other day and before I knew it 'Ugh, I stepped in freaking mud!' came flying out of my mouth. That NEVER happens to me - fingers crossed behind my back! My sweet husband will attest that is something he's tried to get me to pay attention to since we got married - filtering my words before opening my mouth. Anyways, we were at my sister's house this weekend for a baby shower (she's due May 30th with her first, Brayden!). While she and I were going over the couponing basics, Ellie started jumping off the stairs yelling 'The Freaking Water', watch out for 'The freaking water'! It was HILARIOUS and of course embarrassing at the same time because I had to fess up to husband where she got that from. He was not surprised! But we were all rolling on the floor laughing because she kept saying it over and over! Ah, another mirror moment for me!

Spring Pictures

We had the great opportunity to have a 10 minute session with a pro just before Easter. Our friend Kristin organized the shoot with Carrie Stroud Photography and we just paid $25 for a cd of her picks. I really like her style. Here are the gorgeous ones she took of the girls! Hmmm...where to put these:)
