Valentine's Weekend

Our Valentine's weekend was pretty uneventful. We stayed home and Matt worked on our driveway which had become pretty muddy and unmanageable since the ice storm. We are putting quite a bit of money into it and hopefully will not have as many problems in the future. It is going to be a really nice driveway. (Oh the joys of being an adult when you get excited about a new driveway.) Sunday, Matt took Amelia to church and to the youth group's spaghetti dinner afterwards. Micah and I stayed home trying to catch up on some sleep that we didn't get Saturday night. Here are some pictures of the kids in their Valentines outfits.

Two Kids = Twice the Fun

Having two kids is so wonderful. I know that one of them just sits around and sleeps most of the time, but seeing them together is so special. Amelia is crazy about Micah. She calls him baby or Buddy now. Sometimes we get her to say Micah, but it is rare. She worries about him if he is crying and she tries to give him his binkie even if he is asleep. That is because if she had it her way, she would have her binkie all the time. Here are some pictures of my two special kids.


Amelia is not supposed to get in Micah's bouncy seat. She is also not supposed to have her blanket, binkie and Bob (her duck which she named herself) unless she is in bed. Matt took this picture when she tested him to see if he knew the rules. I left to run to the post office and he said that I wasn't gone for 5 minutes and she was trying out the bouncy seat. Now what do you do in that situation. I think I would have taken a picture too.

Here is Amelia showing off her teeth. She got two new teeth last week bringing her up to 6 teeth. I was beginning to wonder if she was going to ever get any more teeth. You can't see the two new ones, but they are on the bottom on either side of the middle two.

Amelia loves to hold Micah. She says "hold, hold, hold" while holding out her arms. Usually she asks though when I am feeding him which is not the best time.

Amelia is still getting used to her toddler bed. She does not fall out quite as often, but that could be because we have most of her exits blocked. She does turn circles most nights.

Here is a picture of my clean babies. The got baths at the same time, but not in the same bath tub. I am not that brave yet.

I love this picture because I think she looks a lot like me. It is not often that I think she looks like me. She looks the most like her Aunt Amy, Matt's sister.

This is not a posed picture. He was actually sitting just like that. He is so cute relaxing with his Daddy.
