Ryan Through the Years

Happy Birthday my little man. All these pictures were taken in May so there is exactly one year between them. I can't believe how much life changes in a year when you have children.

School Uniform

Ryan's new school require the kids to have uniforms. I thought it would be a struggle to convince him to try it on much less wear it... but I was WRONG. The kid loved it, he thinks it makes him look handsome. He even opted for the cardigan sweater, and was upset with me when I told him he couldn't wear it home (in the 90 degree weather) because they had to embroider the school seal. Hopefully when fall rolls around he will still be as excited!

Mothers Day at School

Both kids celebrated mothers day in their classes by inviting moms in for a "Lady I love" event. We started with Ryan's class, there we had breakfast and were entertained with a song and story. A few hours later Audrey's class hosted a mothers day lunch where we got to eat and then read stories with our kids. Over all it was a great day and the kids really liked Kenzie and I coming in to celebrate with them. 

TBall Season

Ryan has started Tball again, this year is coach pitch! He loves it and he seems like a good athlete. I will post more pictures throughout the season. I actually have a chance to take them now that I am not the coach this season. 

Kenzie 2 Month Stats

Kenzie went in for her 2 month Check up (a little over a week after she turned 2 months). She weighs 10 pounds 13.5 ounces (25%), she is 22 inches long (25%)  and her head is 41 cm (97%). She is healthy and doing great!

Strawberry Picking

Not a Good Start

What a way to start the week... Conjunctivitis and a double ear infection.... oh and did I mention that Don is out of town for the whole week. Oh and I have a cold. 

Star Wars Baseball

We went to the Durham Bulls Baseball game tonight with Uncle David and Aunt Meg. We also happened to have seats right next to the Parker family! It was a great night, especially because it is May 4th which is Star Wars day! Audrey spent most of her time stalking the storm troopers.

Portrait

My friend is the school photographer at the kids school. So I (and my children) are the lighting guinea pigs. I posed for her to get the right lighting for teacher portraits. This picture is a perfect representation of parenthood- hair up, no makeup, t-shirt and yoga pants... that tired look in my eyes, but still happy!

Pictures From my Phone

2 Months Old!

She doesn't have her 2 month appointment until next week (so I don't have any stats yet) but here are some pictures!

Easter

Growth Spurt

Don went out of town for a week (and we survived- apparently there are miracles). Kenzie had a huge growth spurt while he was gone. In this picture it looks as though Kenzie is about the same size as my 3 1/2 year old Audrey. Regardless I think we have officially moved out of the newborn look into the baby look... ie she got some pudge on her.
