some Sunday reading

Yesterday David suggested we all take some time to read by ourselves from the Bible. He made sure he had the most comfy spot!

babies

After frequently re-wrapping baby dolls in blankets, I was trying to teach Allison how to wrap them up by herself. She thought it would be more fun to be the one being wrapped up. Bridget had to join in.

They even tried to pretend to cry so they could get cuddled and have a nap in the crib. Too bad they didn't actually fall asleep!

function machine

David has been LOVING math. He loves to add things, figure out how things work and then tell his sisters about them. At school he has been learning about "function machines". Where on the paper it looks like you put a number in the top of a funnel and then it is added to a rule and you have to figure out the number. David decided to create his own.
Put in an 2

the machine is +10

out comes 12.

we love dolls

These girls love dolls, playing with each other, putting all the animals on the couch and then laughing hysterically.

Indiana

For vacation week in February the kids and I took a trip down memory lane and went to visit a dear friend to surprise her for her 40th birthday. We had a few glitches as we got there. One being the only person that knew we were coming was in the hospital. So we rented a car, got a hotel room and waited a night to see if she would get out. We were so happy when she was able to get out. We also waited a LONG time at the airport. We had fun making silly faces.

We stopped by our first apartment. Oh the memories.

When Jeannie got out of the hospital we were able to surprise Lisa and then stop and get the cake and balloons, which I couldn't get before LIsa made it down to the hospital in Indy.

We still were able to surprise her and have some fun and laughs.

One of the things we loved when were there going to school was Celery Bog. We took David often when we lived there over five years ago as it was across the street from our apartment.

He loved the leaves and walking on this bridge as a small boy.

He enjoyed it just as much, maybe even more as a 6 year old!

We had fun doing a treasure hunt and taking old paths we use to explore. Allison enjoyed it too!

We had fun chilling and swimming at the hotel, shopping for toys,

playing mini golf in the dark,

and visiting old friends!

David was so excited to see Logan, "his twin in a different family" as they were born the same day.

As for Bridget...she just LOVED the candy...and Hi Baby.
