Preschool Mother's Day Lunch


All the little tables had cloths over them and vases of flowers. The kids served the food to their mothers while we all sat in tiny chairs with our knees up to our chests. It was so super-cute.
Here's the little heart pillow Lucas made for me for my Mother's Day present!

April Miscellaneous

Teething on a snake head :) that Laith made in a wood whittling class in 2000.
Enjoying the end-of-April weather that's finally warm enough for a sundress!
Sophie still loves grabbing her feet!
This photo was taken before she started getting stronger and squirmier. She's pretty much stuck in that dumptruck!
Lucas' bedroom gets the best windowlight for photographing their lovely faces

Lucas grubby-faced and sad (don't remember why, but his pouty face is pretty darn cute!)
Lucas' FIRST recognizable representational drawing!! In classic Lucas fashion, he waited to attempt (actually- resisted... I'd been encouraging drawing faces as soon as he could draw a circle 6 months ago!) a drawing of a person until he knew he could do it well! :)
Sophie loves helping Lucas with art projects
Lucas' favorite games involve super heroes
Visiting with Aunt Jill while we were in NoVa for Easter
Squeezable baby!
More collaborative art work!
This month Lucas learned how to balance long enough to lift his feet up for the duration of his downhill coasting! Next step: a 2 wheeler with pedals!

Dogwood Festival

A special Mommy-Lucas outing in mid April (yup, I'm still a month behind in blog posts... Easter is up next!)




Lucas LOVED it. He stayed up late, ate a carnival hotdog, watched at the game booths, wished he was taller so he could ride all the big kid rides too, and was THRILLED when we ascended to the top of the tall ferris wheel (here's the photo from that moment):
Can't wait to return next year with the whole family!
