It was a long dark cold winter. Especially when you are stuck in a house with small kids and morning sickness. But all is well now. We have survived the winter. Now that it is summer, I am feeling good and can't believe there is only 2 more months left till baby arrives. The Drs feel it will be another 9lber, Yippee!! Nothing like a bit of sarcasm to get you through the day.
Jake update: He is 98% potty trained. I had a goal of only one kid in diapers at a time. I feel very hopeful. He is still very active and talkative.
Avery update: She just finished her first year of preschool. She was so proud of herself. She really loved it and made some nice new friends. Although I get the feeling she hung with the teachers alot. She is a 40yr old stuck in the body of a 4yr old.
So here is a montage of the past few months.
My niece and I dressed the boys in matching shirts during a party. We just sat back and waited to see if anyone caught on. It took a few minutes for their brains to function properly. But then there was alot of screaming and hugging.
Avery turned 4yrs old in February. Where did the time go? She was very specific about her cake. She wanted a strawberry shortcake HAT cake. With REAL strawberries. So what the princess wants she gets right?
Finally Spring!!!
I loved their outfits this year. Apparently, Jake wasn't as thrilled as I was. Happy Easter!
Traditional grandkid photo. Just think we add 2 more to this picture next year.
Awwww, sibling love!!
Nice family photo to celebrate. Ryan was welcomed to the Catholic Church on Easter weekend. It was very nice. The whole family was there to celebrate his sacraments. Even the kids were good, considering it was almost 2 hours long.
Probably, one of the only pictures he will let me put up.
This is Avery's masterpiece. It is the Cape May Zoo. Notice the traffic. I guess she is hinting at something.
Thank you Grandma and Grandad Booth for the paints. It is a big hit. 
Even a man needs to make sure his nails look good too!
