Day 46

Today we picked up Laurie and George from the airport.
We are so excited for their visit.
Oddly, this and a really blurry picture are the only ones taken today.
Hmmmm.
George sure has grown since we saw him last.
What a little man!

Day 45

Valentines day

I love that you do everything with so much energy.
I love that you find ways to have fun in all that you do.
I love that you are happy.
I love you Alexia!

I love that you're a smiley baby.
I love the way you coo and giggle.
I love how peaceful you are.
I love you Leo!

I love that I can see how much you love your family.
I love that you love helping others.
I love being around you.
I love you Cody!

Day 44

Lexi: Why is there a picture of me on the wall?

Mom: Because you're cute, we love you and you're apart of our family.

L: Where's Leo's picture?

M: uhhh... I'm working on that.
You want to help me pick one to put up?

L: No. I think we should pick one of Ariel.

Day 43

I've discovered that we may be living with a "cold beverage snob".

Day 42

Cody and I have fallen in love with Carcassonne again.
Game night anyone??

Day 41

Have I mentioned
that we're loving this California weather?!

Day 40

Thank you to the "other Clarks" for the wonderful birthday gift.
Alexia has been a super clean girl this week.

Day 39

I thought I was smart by making Leo's 2 month checkup and Alexia's 3 year check up the same day. But since they both were due for multiple shots, I ended up with two needy kids who didn't want to share me. The good news is that they were TOUGH needy kids. They took it like champs.

stats:
Alexia is 75% for weight and height: 33lbs, 38 inches
Leo is 50% for weight and headcount, 98% for length.

Day 38

I was listening to her play with her dolls.
Then I saw her take one
and slam another on the head while saying "Die witch! Die!"

I thank Disney movies for this moment.

Day 37

I was excited to put Leo in this football outfit for Superbowl Sunday.
Thankfully he wasn't in it much.
The weather here was 80+, sunny clear skies.
We put shorts and flipflops on.
It felt like Spring.
We loved it!

Day 36

I walked by Lexi's room and saw this.
All lined up perfectly on her bed.

Day 35

It feels good to declutter.
It feels even better to have help with it.

Day 34

Happy Birthday Alexia!!
At 3 years old
You still love to give me hugs and kisses
and cuddle up to me on the couch.
You love to play with your friends
and you're very good at sharing.
You wake up happy each morning
then eat multiple bowls of cereal.
You like to play pretend with your dolls
and you're getting good at puzzles.
Your favorite past time is reading.
You like to read to yourself.
And you love to get others to read to you.
You moved on from PB & J's
and insist on having a "daddy turkey sandwich"
each day for lunch.
You love to play rough with Daddy.
You like to help me cook.
You love to choose songs at bedtime,
and you say your own prayers.
We sure love you, Alexia!
Our lives are full of joy because of you.

Day 33

Nobody home but the 2 of us.
This is what we did for entertainment.

Day 32

Don't you wish it was you who was holding him?
