Catching up!

We are woefully behind in our postings this spring!

Cara turned 1 year old on February 26! 

Daddy was in Germany on a work trip, and the girls and I were in Valpo for her birthday, so she still got to celebrate with lots of her family!

Look Cara!  It’s your cake!

Hooray!  Cake!

OK, you’re taking too long Cara.  Let me do it.

Cara did not want to smash her cake or even really eat it.  So we figured we’d try again at a different party.

Here we are opening presents at home after Daddy came home from Germany.

Look!  It’s a card!

Cara’s new favorite toy.  She has now figured out how to put the coins in all by herself.

Playing with their toys in the toy bin.

Cara loves Diana’s rocking chair.  She sits in it more than Diana ever has!

Daylight Savings Time was not very welcome in our house.  8 o’clock church came very early for all three of the girls!

From our trip to Hilton Head…Diana in the Atlantic.

Cara digging on the beach.

Fun times with the cousins in the condo!  Gracie loved Cara’s toys! 

Grandma, Bobo and the princesses!

Happy Birthday to Cara, round 3!

Here’s some wrapping paper, Bobo!

Yay!  A new Rollercoaster!  Diana’s has taken a beating over the last 2.5 years, so it was time for a new one! 

Here’s how you play with it, Gracie.  Watch me, I’m a pro.

Thank you Uncle John and Auntie Liz for the Band in a Box!  I am an excellent noise maker percussionist.

We’ve tried this already, people.  I’m not into it.

I don’t like to be dirty, Mom.  And I don’t like cake!

Well maybe it’s OK if you feed it to me on a fork.  Neat and clean, thank you very much.

 

Happy Birthday Care-Bear!
