Coconut!

Charlie was very curious about coconuts, and how to eat them and drink their milk.  So we went to the grocery store, bought one & brought it home.

Charlie loved it!  Kate, not so much.

Daddy cracking it open.

 Yum!

Emily's first real food!

When Emily was about five months old, we gave her a little cereal with sweet potato.  From her very first bite, our little munchkin has loved her food!

Emily is 5 Months!

Our little Emily is still on the small side, but she carries it well.  She is smiling, laughing, rolling over, has started eating some baby food and just loves being around her big brother and sister!

Emily loves her bath time!

Our baby girl is all smiles.

Doesn't every 5 month old need a pair of peep toe shoes?

 Snuggles are the best!

Sister fun.

Mother's Day

I got nicely spoiled for Mother's Day.  Cards & coffee in bed.  The Sunday Review of the NYT brought to me, and breakfast made.

My absolute favorite thing though was Charlie's card.  He thought of what to say himself.  Wrote it himself too.

Look at that beautiful handwriting!  My heart melted at the sentiment.  

  

Doss Mother Son Dance

Doss, Charlie's school, held a mother-son dance.  There was a DJ, snacks, limbo and lots of dancing!  It was a ton of fun.  Charlie loved taking me out on a date. :-)

When the dancing started, Charlie immediately started break-dancing in the middle of a circle.  Our principal loved it.  That's my son.  So much energy.  All the time!

 

Tough life for Kate

Every time she sits down to eat, her baby gets hungry.

Cinco de Mayo

Kate's school celebrated Cinco de Mayo again with dancers from McCallum High School.  They got to watch the dancers, and then dance with them.  This year they got to wear skirts and hats to dress up as well!
