Finally...

I haven't been able to find my cable to download photos, so that's why I'm just getting these on here! So here goes...

Fort Worth Zoo

Ft Worth Zoo - went a few weekends ago and met Brenda and the family there

feeding the birds... Luke had a very cooperative bird who sat there forever

more zoo photos

Dying eggs seemed very fast this year... why do I recall spending forever to dye them as a kid?

Good Friday

Ringling Bros. Circus - Easter Weekend

Luke's First Lost Tooth

Finally, Luke lost his first little tooth last Sunday night! That tooth seemed to be loose forever, and I was wanting it out soon since his permanent tooth was halfway in behind it already. Saturday night he let me try to pull it, but I couldn't get it. On Sunday we knew it had to come out, but he got scared and didn't want me pulling it, so he went to bed. While I was in the shower, Luke was eating some string cheese and he started crying and said to Marc "Half my tooth fell out!" Since it was so tiny, he thought it broke and only part of it came out! He was a little scared by it, but after he calmed down he was excited to get his tooth pillow out and tuck it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. He barely has a hole where the tooth was since the new one is in its place already.

The before photo... not sure if you can tell, but you can see the big tooth in behind it.


It's so tiny!!


Tucked away carefully in the tooth pillow... thanks Grandma for making it!


Night night... time for sleep so the tooth fairy can come

Home again

For the second Wednesday in a row, Luke woke up throwing up, so I stayed home with him again. He's been fine ever since 6:00 though thankfully! Just wanted to check in and say hi since I haven't posted in a while.
A few random happenings:
1)We got our TAKS reading scores back, and all my kids passed and 16 out of 21 got commended, meaning they missed 3 or less out of 36 questions. I am so happy!!
2) We booked our Philly trip -June 9-15! Very excited, and we got a great deal on flights which is good since we have to buy 4 tickets now!
3) Had photos taken of the kids in Salado and am very happy with how they turned out. Now I just have to decide which ones to order!
4) I won a weigh-in Sunday at Jazzercise - out of everyone who weighed, I lost the most weight (I think by percentages). I got a prize pack - a backpack, water bottle, 2 stretchy bands, a tshirt, and a towel.

Here are two photos I found from when I took Luke to putt putt over spring break - the one of us both is when we were driving the go carts. Wanted to see pictures of him happy and healthy, not sick and sleepy like he is today!
