april month in review

If I can't manage to blog daily {ha!} or weekly, then surely I can get myself together enough to have a month in review post. I don't want to forget everything that is going on in our sweet family, and with a major case of pregnancy brain most days, it's definitely liable to happen.

April was a BUSY month for us!

Here are a few snippets of what we did:

* Caroline turned 4 and Molly Grace turned 2, my goodness it's going by so fast! We celebrated both girls' birthdays with having a few of their friends come over, with a special appearance from Ariel! The little girls loved every second of the princess party, while the boys were quite content playing on the swingset. {I posted a lot of pictures from the party, and yes, I post dated it, so as to not remember that I couldn't get my act together to post them on time.}

* For Molly's actual birthday, we had pizza and cake before opening presents. On Caroline's we took the girls and grandma's to Hibachi! They were mesmerized for a while until the volcano and ring of fire came, then they wanted know part of the cooking show. Molly loved the food though, girl can eat some chicken and rice!


* At Caroline's 4 year old check up, she weighed 33lbs and is 41 inches tall. She was able to do the sight test all by herself, reading the letters off of the chart as any adult would. When we go back with her, it will be took get all of her kindergarten boosters! I can't believe that.

* Molly had a great check up as well. She weighed 30lbs and is 35 inches tall. She's trying so hard to catch up to her sister. She has more words than we can count, and is still the happiest child I know...except when she's throwing a terrible twos tantrum because I've said no. We are in no way worried about speech with her, and excited about her starting MWF twos next year when Caroline starts PreK.

* We found out we are having our third baby girl!! Sweet Sisters we will have, and are so excited to meet her. She may not have a name, but boy will she be loved! When telling Caroline, she exclaimed, "I told you it was a girl!" Ha! Molly too thought it was a girl and when I asked her what we should name her she quickly shouted, "Simba!" Simba is the name of her lovie...yeah, don't think so.

* Daniel finished MBA school! And all God's people said, Amen! What a crazy two years it has been; Daniel started at PES, we had Molly, and he started school all around the same time...so glad that piece of the puzzle is over! I am so proud of him!

* Caroline is still in swim and loving it! Our little fishy hasn't used a float since her first week back in February. I can't wait to get her in the pool, although I can wait to get in a maternity swimsuit, and have her show Daddy her skills!

* Molly started Sportots this month, which is basically gymnastics for toddlers. She has lots of little friends in there, and with help can walk on the balance beam, scale a wall, and do a somersault! She loves the trampoline the best though!

* We ended the month with Muffins and Moms at Caroline's school. Molly and I attended chapel with Caroline's class, and were then invited to enjoy yummy muffins that her teachers made for all of the moms. Molly of course made herself right at home. I call her the class mascot! With 9 little girls, they all squeal when Molly walks in, it's so cute! After eating her muffin, chocolate of course, she walked across the hall when she joined Ms. Elizabeth's class in circle time. We so hope Molly gets Ms. Elizabeth next year. She was the assistant in Caroline's 2's class and now teaches MWF 2s. Even the director commented that Molly was ready for school. We just love DUMCP and are so happy the girls are there.

20 Week Bump Picture...I finally popped!

I can't promise any posts between now and the end of May, but maybe I'll surprise myself! May is shaping up to be just as busy, and can't wait to share pictures of all we are up to!

caroline and molly's princess party!


The Girls' Princess Party couldn't have gone any better! Ariel and her Lady-in-Waiting came and surprised all the girls with a morning of fun. The weather was perfect, as was the company! Caroline enjoyed it so much that we've already been told that when she turns 5 we are headed to Cinderella's Castle at Disney World! At least she says Molly can come too, right?
