Grandpa & James

I have to share these pictures of James and Grandpa Roger shooting the BB gun! I love to see what a little "man" James is becoming - he loves all things boy! These moments in life so warm my heart!

Adventures With Animals!

Thanks to our beloved pets, we've had some excitement around here! On one of the warmer days last week, James and his next door pal Ally were upstairs and spotted a little mouse outside. They raced down stairs and outside to get a better look. I really did not believe that there was a mouse just playing in the yard - until the kids came back into the house. I could see in James's face that yes indeed, we had a little friend. Kelsey and I ventured out to take a peek and found Maggie (our youngest cat) sitting proudly in the bark with a little gray mouse in front of her - ALIVE! We all wanted the poor little mouse to have a chance at freedom, so we put Leo in the house (he really wanted to eat the little mouse), and we re-located Maggie so we could scoop up the mouse and drop it over the fence into the front yard. Little did we know, that while we were rescuing this little creature - Leo was frantically trying to get back outside. When we went to open the sliding glass door, we discovered that Leo has locked it! Thankfully, our neighbor Corene was home and had a key!
Then - more animal adventure! This weekend Leo was out in the backyard running around and tossing something up in the air. Mike went to investigate, and found that our sweet Leo had gotten a bird! He was so proud of himself and James thought that was the greatest thing ever!

Grandma Linda's Birthday

Last night (March 9th) we celebrated Grandma Linda's birthday! Here are a few pictures...

Kelsey's update: Kelsey had her IFSP evaluation a week ago, and it went well - as expected. Thankfully, she will continue with an IEP (individualized education programs). Depending on how she is doing, she may start pre-school at Alyce Hatch in the Fall.
We are looking forward to a nice quiet week this week! We had so many appointments last week, it will be nice to take a little break!!
