Here she is, the birthday girl. On one of her many birthdays. She has had 4 “parties” and couldn’t believe it when we told her today was her birthday and she had another one. “Again?!?” she asked. Three years ago, on the bathroom floor, our sweet, loving, kind and compassionate Tegan McKenna entered our world and we are still smitten. Happy Birthday Tegie B!
The kids and I spent this last Thursday and Friday out in Borrego with my parents. Growing up, my family camped out in Borrego every March and I have so many memories of those trips, spending time with my grandparents and their friends. It is something I have wanted my kids to experience as well. The kids really enjoy themselves and this year, Ethan was able to do all kinds of cool things while we were there, thanks to Grandpa. He climbed a mountain (kind of a hill, probably), built a dam, and hiked around quite a bit. Next year, Tegan will probably be up for it. This year, she was a little under the weather so we just stayed around the camp and did a lot of bike riding and rock collecting. Here are my two sweet ones in front of some cacti at the visitor’s center. It was a really fun time and I think they are already starting to have memories of the trips that they will carry with them through life as I have. That makes me happy.
This, in my opinion, is the best commercial I have seen in… forever. It cracks me up.
I was able to get our ultrasound picture of baby number 3, or “sprig” as we call her, scanned today thanks to Shane. Here she is!
We got some cool shots this time. They snapped one while she was yawning, which was amazing. She was flipping all around and as always, we were in awe. Truly a miracle. Can’t wait to meet her!
Ethan and I spent the other day making these Valentines for the kids in his class. I think he ate more M&Ms than we put in the boxes. I really liked the way they turned out. It was hard enough to get him to write his name on the paper inside or I would have had him write the name of each friend on the outside of the boxes. Maybe next year!
