Our Spring Break

I haven't posted in a while. I can't really say that I have been too busy but I have just occupied my time with other things. We had a good "spring break" week. The quotations are because we don't need a spring break but it was everyone else's spring break and so we get to have more company and things to do since everyone else is out of school. We went to the St. Patrick's Day parade and visited with Papaw and Mimi and the girls' friends Mallory, McKenna and Isabella. So we stayed busy.

Our newest adventure, though, began Saturday morning at 8:30 am. Alyssa had tee ball practice! This was a spur of the moment sign-up (we weren't sure if she was too young) but we decided to let her play. She's had 2 practices so far and seems to love it! Chad is no stranger to the ball field but I have no clue what I am doing...so I am a mere on-looker and Chad has taken the driver's seat on this one. I will post pictures once she gets a uniform!

With her 2nd birthday one month away, Katie is the potty training queen! She is wearing big girl panties and is DRY in the morning when she wakes up. We are still so proud of her!

I can't believe how my girls have grown. I don't know if it is a new outlook on my part, the spring weather or if it really just happened overnite that they bloomed into little girls instead of babies.

Spring is in the Air!

An update on potty training Katie: she is a pro! It has only been a week and Katie is the best pottier ever! She has taken to it quite well and even though I have to remind her every hour or so, she is doing very well. I don't know if having a big sister has helped or what but she has no reservations about sitting on the big girl potty and, in fact, woke me up last night at 12:30 to use the potty! Yeah for Katie!

Alyssa is still going to gymnastics and loves every minute of it. She is a cartwheel fanatic and does them all day long. She is actually an ambidextrous cartwheeler, which I find very unusual. She definitely gets her coordination from Chad. We are so proud of her and of how quickly she has learned and progressed with just a few months in this class.

Auntie Jill came from Miami to visit us and show Tony around town. We enjoyed her visit. The girls have really taken to her and love her so much! They actually warmed up to Tony really well for never seeing him before and even hugged and kissed him when they would see him. That is huge for Alyssa and Katie.

It snowed Sunday (maybe an inch), but the days are getting warmer and spring is in the air! At least, for the next couple of days. Today's high is 67 degree and the next few days are supposed to be in the 70's. So we are definitely going to be enjoying the warm air and sunshine!
