All of the kids were taking a bath the other night, when Pete, after I had just taken off his diaper, stood at the toilet….as any young man should…and peed all over the floor. It was perfect, except he’s about a foot too close to the floor. Maybe he’ll be potty trained before Lucy. ☺
Ella just finished kindergarten roundup. I can't believe she's going to school in the fall, but she'll love it! She is more than ready.
Ella and Lucy got haircuts today from Lori Newton. They were both SO good. It was really cute. Ella had cut a piece of her hair awhile back, and Lucy was in dire need of a trim...and some bangs.
We bought flip flops and bubbles today...and swimsuits are on the way! We are all ready for summer to come.
Andy is officiating college baseball, starting this weekend. He is also working an ISU scrimmage next weekend. We are all excited for him.
The kids are all asleep, and it's only 9:30. They've been coming into our bed a lot at night. There are worse things. Some day they won't want anything to do with us, so we can enjoy this while it lasts. :)

March
Well, it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything here. So much has happened in our lives, which keeps me too busy to write about it.
Andy and I went on a trip to Panama. Seven days of heaven. The food was amazing. The weather was perfect. And our view was beyond description. We went through the Panama Canal, spent a day in the rainforest, saw monkeys and crocodiles, and toured through the city. We even relived a scene right out of the latest James Bond movie. We shopped at some local dive markets, got some souvenirs for the kids, and enjoyed some quality time as a couple. It was amazing in every way.
The kids (and our parents), on the other hand, did not enjoy the week as much. Each got sick, so much so that they consecutively had to see the doctor and were sent home from daycare. We never got a phone call (bless you mom and dad), but everyone was ready for a break by the time we got home.
Pete is walking pretty much all the time now and finally has some teeth. You can see at least 8 bumps but three have popped through so far. He's been waking up a lot at night, so I think they hurt the little guy. Actually, I think he just likes the snuggle time with daddy. :)
The girls pop into our bed quite frequently too, and bedtime is exhausting, but everyone is happy and healthy which is all we could ask for.
Dad has started treatments for his lymphoma and is responding well. It's been a hard winter but spring is almost here, and the end is in sight!
Andy is starting spring scrimmages for football and has already been offered one at ISU which thrills us ISU fans. He's also doing some college baseball games which should be fun. I hope to bring the kids to some games, but that might have to wait until a little further down the road.
Ella has kindergarten roundup on the 23rd. I can't believe she's starting school in the fall. I don't know where the time goes.
Still working on potty training with Lucy, but she's getting the idea. We're batting about 500 on that one, so there is still a ways to go. :)
