Celebrating Three!

Yesterday was Miranda's third birthday. So, let me just get the cliches out now because they are all true...I can't believe it's already been three years! It's gone by so fast! She's getting so big! It seems like just yesterday that I was holding her in my arms for the first time! You blink and your babies are all grown up! Phew, okay, I feel better now.

We celebrated her actual birthday by going to the book store and spending some of her birthday money. But on Saturday, we partied! Ten of Miranda sweet little friends came to help us celebrate her. And when I say friends, I really mean it. Miranda truly enjoys playing with each one of the kids who came, and in her three-year-old way she truly is their friend. We are thankful for those relationships.

Miranda, we love you so much and are thankful for three wonderful, happy, healthy years! (and are looking forward to many, many more!)

Cruising

I tried really hard to brainwash Isaac into thinking that sitting still was cool. Everyone knows crawling and pulling up are overrated and not moving is super duper fun. Well, he didn't listen. He insists on growing and learning new things. Now I keep losing him. Seriously, I set him down in the living room and five minutes later, I can't find him! Also, I have to clean the whole house now. Bummer!

How did you learn how to crawl over those pillows?

Oh, this explains it. Miranda showed him...

Lady Bug Man

He's faster than a speeding sloth and strong as a baby moose. He rescues fuzz from sofa cushions, eats shoes for breakfast and thinks sleeping is for wimps. His older sister designs his costumes, and he's ok with that...is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Lady Bug Man.
