I'm a Big Kid Now

I think I can speak for a lot of parents when I say "Hooray for 18 months"!!! Lily is now officially in Nursery at church. This was a much needed change for our family, especially with Baby Jack on his way. Lily was getting sooo hard to handle and lets face it, who would rather hang out with the parents than get to blow bubbles, sing silly songs and get to snack on Goldfish galore? She did great, by-the-way. Couldn't get rid of us fast enough...jeesh. So it begins.

Link For Life Run

Paige and Caleb had a great time running in the Link for Life Race at the Zoo last Saturday. There were soo many people and tons of fun was had by all who were there. Paige got some pics with her teacher, Mrs. Dix and her husband, Mr. Dix, who is the PE teacher at her school. She also spent the rest of the day with her friend Erin, who moved to Ohio later that night. It was a last day to spend with the "other" Perry family. They will be missed.

A Minor Setback

I found out a couple of weeks ago that my C-section date had to be moved back, due to scheduling. So, instead of Friday, May 8th, we will welcome our little one on Monday, May 11th. I know, it is only a few days later, but we were really looking forward to the 8th. So, he will be here in three weeks from today. :)

Easter 2009

We had a great Easter this year in Kansas. On Saturday,we enjoyed a picnic and egg hunt in the park. Things took a turn for the worse on Sunday, though. Lily got pink eye on Saturday and she and I both woke up sick on Sunday. (Still sick, btw.) The weather was horrible. It stormed all day. But, we still had a good time eating chocolate treats and yummy dinner. The kids had a fun time painting a huge Easter egg on my tummy. (I will spare the actual pictures for all of you.) It is hard to believe that next Easter there will be another member of our family to share it with. We are all excited!

Springtime in Wichita

Purple blossoms, green grass, new leaves....snow!!! Yes, this is what we woke up to on Saturday morning. We knew it was coming, but never imagined we could build a snowman in the Springtime. The kids were in heaven. They finally got to wear their snowboots in Kansas. (1st time.) It was actually a nice last Winter hurrah. We spent the weekend in, next to the fireplace. But don't fear, it will be 66 degrees today.

Pawnee Prarie Park

There is this towing company here in Wichita that has a Mater look-alike. He is actually used as a tow truck, too. We had to get a picture with him!

There is this nature preserve park called Pawnee Prarie that isn't too far from us. It is a park where you really get to see wild animals just wandering around. Lily has no fear, so she decided she was going to go get her a deer.

Lily is definitely a cheeser. She is caught in the act here.

The three kiddies hanging out on the bridge.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Caleb thinks he looks "really like a girl" in this. So, I don't think Riverdancing is in his future. (*sigh* = Rob is relieved!)
