bennett, bennett, bennett

This guy is the happiest little BIG boy you'll ever meet. He is always smiling, laughing at his sister (any attention she gives him he thrives on), chewing on toys, keeping track of Mom, sucking on his toes, and growing out of clothes. The swimsuit he'll be wearing this summer is sized 18-24 months (keep in mind he will be 7 months the beginning of April) and some shorts that I bought Darla for this summer are also 18-24 months. If he were a girl they could be sharing clothes already!
We got GREAT news yesterday - we will be able to move into a three-bedroom apartment in about a month! What perfect timing. As much as I love having Bennett in our room, I'm quite ready for him to have his own little space. So, with the anticipation of a bigger apartment and spring we are quite excited. I wasn't that excited though when I saw how grown up Bennett looked in that picture with his Daddy. What handsome boys I live with! :)

Spring Break?

Today when I opened my curtains this is what I saw. . .

Now I ask the question - Does anyone want to come here for SPRING BREAK? Spring? What is that? Oh the joys of living in Minnesota. I do love it here - don't get me wrong - March does get a little long though since it's still cold, but then again warm enough (30 - 40 degrees) that the snow begins to melt. But no signs of spring; flowers, blossoms, sunshine etc. It's ok. Soon enough it will be the most BEAUTIFUL summer and we will be outside all day long. I love summer.

making the cut

Well Erik made the cut (of course!) and he'll be getting his P.h.D. at the University of Minnesota. We are excited! Even more excited to move into a three bedroom apartment! :) We are relived to know where we will be for the next 3-4 years!
Bennett has cut two teeth. This is the first picture I have that you can actually see them - so look closely. He is growing up too fast and GREATLY enjoys rice cereal.
Darla had her first visit to a salon to get her hair cut. She did great and was happy to sit and watch a little movie they had playing while the "nice lady" cut her hair. Darla sure is beautiful!
