A Busy Month

So it's been a busy month around here and hopefully I can get this all written out before Jenna wakes up (see picture below for what an unhappy Jenna looks like).  

First of all, Amanda Couch took some awesome pictures of Jenna and I posted all of them in the slide show.  She did a great job and I'm sure we'll be ordering a lot of those.  Jenna was a ham of course and was in a pretty good mood the whole time, but the picture below is by far my favorite.  If that isn't Elsa/Melissa's baby lip....

Then we broke down and traded in Melissa's car for a...umm...mini-van.  A sad day for everyone.  So now the girls have been fighting over who gets to push the buttons to close the power doors since last week.  It works a lot better for picking them up from school and hauling them around though, so it's serving it's purpose well.  On a side note, James I can't believe you willingly drove one around Dubuque.  

Then last weekend just before bedtime, Nora fell into one of the kitchen stools and cut up her mouth.  That warranted a 3 hour trip to Children's Hospital where, after cleaning up her mouth, we found she didn't need stitches after all.  She dodged the bullet there, because the first thing she screamed after it happened was "I don't want stitches, I don't want stitches!"  Apparently I haven't told her that after awhile stitches are just something you do once every year or so.  

That's about all the news for now, enjoy all of the awesome pictures.

Flabbergast Birthday Party!

What a birthday party!  Thanks to everyone who helped out and everyone who made it to the party.  The girls had a great time and it looked like everyone else did as well.  If you click on the link below it will take you to the slide show of all the pictures we took.  We tried to get a picture of everyone, but the kids were moving pretty fast.   Thanks again.

Party Pictures!

6 Years Old!!

Elsa and Nora had quite a day today.  It started with a picture of them on channel 6's feature "Look who's six!" at 7:30 am before they left for school.  At school it was treats and birthday hats.  After they got home they had to wait for Melissa to get home to find out what their birthday surprise was.

After lots of questions and hints they still didn't know.  They had some dinner at Zaffiro's and afterward we went to the Cellular Arena to watch some Disney on Ice.  It was a hit, even with Jenna (who couldn't turn away from the lights; leave it to Disney to get our 2 month old hooked).  In the end they said it was a great surprise and they had a great time and a late night.

So here's to the big 6 year olds.
