Kid Update

Well, Spring Break is finally here! We are all so glad. In just a few minutes I'll get started on my school work, something I'll be doing for the rest of the week in prep for the rest of the semester. I can't wait til this program is over with...a lot of work!
Lucas is doing well. The time change has gotten to him a bit, but not too badly. His new favorite thing is to make his own drink with apple juice, rice milk and sweet tea. He used to add orange juice as well but he is reacting to it a little bit, so we aren't making it anymore. He'll get each container out of the frig (if its not too heavy) and we'll pour it together. Next step is to get footage of it.

Alana is doing ok. We think she might be teething but are unsure. She has been really cranky and waking up at night more often than usual. And she was apparently inconsolable at daycare yesterday afternoon. We gave her motrin and that seemed to help. At least she slept better. She is still slobbering up a storm. We finally broke down and bought 20 bib, yes 20 bibs! 10 for daycare, 10 more for home. We got the kind that actually has the waterproof liner on the underside of it. I think it'll be a worthwhile investment. Also last night when we were at the store, Lucas got on one of the tricycles and rode it around for a good 20 minutes. Too cute! But, of course, he cried when he left...he wanted to take it home with him.

Speaking of cute, I asked Lucas to watch Alana while I put away some clothes...he sat down in front of Alana and played peek-a-boo with her! I got some footage of that! I'll try to post as soon as I get around to it!

We got a chance to go to the ice park this weekend. Temperatures have hit 40 degrees the past 4 days! The poor ice sculptures aren't going to be able to hold up for very much longer and some of the kids play areas are blocked off due to too much melting. But the slides are still a lot of fun. However, lucas seemed to be more interested in what he calls tractors! He's absolutely fascinated with anything having to do with vehicles...buses, trucks, trains...












Katie is doing well. She still has a cough from when she was sick, but is recovering. She thoroughly enjoyed going to the hot springs yesterday with just her dad and I and she beat us at Uno! It was a very close game, though. Here is a picture of her baking cookies.
