The kids and I are grateful for the warm weather so we can spend time outside rather than inside one room.
She has a side ponytail in that is hard to see, denim hat, denim vest, pink rainbow sequined tank, rayon rainbow with rhinestones skirt, and she topped it off with her patent leather black boots.
The girl likes her style. Here she's making a call to her "fashion person." 
Ella, bless her heart, she tries to keep up...
In the above picture she is wearing Lilly's shoes on the wrong feet. She is hysterically funny. Below is the outfit she wore one morning to pick Lilly up from school. That is Lilly's first dance leotard and first pair of ballet shoes. She told me she felt pretty!
I am hoping the boys let me dress them until they are married...
Poor little buddy has a fever that won't break and he vomited tonight. He's miserable and needs Mommy.
He throws his head back and does a little laugh. Precious.
The girls are doing great. This is Lilly's last week of preschool. 
Bring on summer!
Lukey was scared.
He was fine when I was holding him so we sat and watched. It was fun!
Once the drywall was in, the guys were able to finish up the front of the addition. Putting in the large, heavy window was entertaining. They really appreciated my documenting with my camera. They hollered that they may say a few choice words. I told them that was fine. Ha.
We love the window.
...can turn abnormal.
I had just returned from the viewing of a dear friend's sister-in-law. We were the same age. I look horrible because I had been crying. I still haven't shaken it as I think about how ripped off Jane was by not getting to see her two precious girls grow up. She was an amazing woman. I was chatting with Andy on the porch swing when Lilly grabbed the camera and my inner loveliness came out. Andy's inner zombie came out. He was proud of his zombie eyes. If we were too normal it wouldn't be any fun and it's important to have fun in life.
He is the world's slowest crawling baby. Baby boy is so funny. He is cautious and deliberate in all that he does. The best part is he's happy! He doesn't feel the need to rush here and there. He sees something he wants and he takes his time slowly making his way over to it and then sits and plays with it.
Lukey is so proud of his baby brother. He finally has his little buddy making the moves with him. Sweet baby boys!!!
*This room is our construction prison. Gated off and blocked by a couch we spend hours upon hours trapped in this room together. I'm just sayin'...
Lilly loves to go on bike rides and Ella loves to ride on/in the stroller and the boys are just so easy going that they go along with anything! We love our walks in the afternoons. Sometimes Ella decides she needs to 'stop and smell the roses.'
Or the dogwoods...
Ella enjoys life. She is slow and deliberate and never in a rush. She takes it all in all the time. Lilly also loves life and takes it all in but in a different way... at lightning speed. I remember my mom telling me my entire childhood, "You're so quick!!" and I see that in Lilly. I make sure I don't repeat my mother's words because I hated hearing it! :-) Speaking of my mom, when I see azaleas I think of her. I don't know if she loved them or if it's because we had them in our yard but she's always on my mind when they're blooming in the spring.
Oooh lala, architectural shingles.
I am so glad the roof is complete. It didn't take long but it was loud and constant. This is the side of the new addition. From left to right the windows belong to: back bedroom, bathroom, master bedroom, master bedroom. Our bed will be placed between the two windows on the right.
Having fun dumpster climbing!
We filled the dumpster to the hilt and will be getting rid of it very soon. Can't wait for that either! It's now the smallest of things that make me cheer.
