• Reagan was thrilled when she woke up today-because it wasn't raining and we could go to the zoo (and because she could wear a dress)

• A quick art project - painting masterpieces!
  
• Playing outside for a few minutes before a very late lunch of mac and cheese

• Short naps for everyone and then looking at old picture albums until Dad came home
• Out to eat at Moe's and then a little grocery shopping (diapers and milk is all we every buy)

• A lazy morning and then a quick run to Krispy Kreme before our chocolate party

• A quick run to Toys R Us-they were having a Thomas day and gave Reagan and Anderson a Thomas train, colors, coloring page and trading cards

• A few more errands-actually a lot more errands and then home for naps
• Graham swinging most of the evening long while Reagan and Anderson spent their time trying to throw the balls to the top of the tree house. It was a perfect evening and we all enjoyed sitting outside

• Baths for everyone. Graham got a good head scrub in his duck bathtub and he didn't want to get out

April 24: A Christmas Outfit?

(click here for pictures) It was soon obvious that Dennie baby 4 was on his way. After a little figuring, Tara thought he would be here near Christmas time so she laid a baby Christmas outfit on the bed to let Robby know the exciting news. He didn’t notice it for a few hours-even laid his clothes beside it. After all, we do have lots of little clothes lying around our house. Tara finally had to draw Robby’s attention to the outfit for him to notice. He quickly understood the news and was thrilled.
