Big Bike and A Little Scooter

For Leo's last day of school, we thought it would be fun for him to get to ride on the Harley. So, we borrowed a helmet and the boys took a test ride last night.

Adorable in his helmet
(You may note he's now lost both front teeth.)




Excited to take off

Not to be left out, Lindsay got on her scooter and made vroom vroom noises

When Losing Teeth is a Good Thing

Leo lost his two front bottom teeth last summer. His mouth has been quiet and uneventful since. (Well, his teeth have been quiet, his mouth almost never is.) We noticed one of his front top teeth have becoming more loose over the last few days. Yesterday, was outside playing. He came running in holding his tooth. "It just popped out!" Very exciting for him and us. I love the snaggle tooth look! At seven, its still ok for your teeth to fall out:)

Memories

I took pictures of the kids hunting Easter eggs and thought a few of them looked like candidates for a change to black and white. Two in particular came out really well. Looking at Lindsay running barefoot hunting Easter eggs is already one of my favorite memories of our beautiful little girl.

Overheard From the Backseat

Leo: Dinosaurs lived for over 4o years. If I lived when they lived, and they liked me, I would know how long they really lived. (Said with an air of knowledge and confidence.)

Lindsay: I like squirrels.

Cold Weather Survival Guide

Here in Texas we love our steady climate. It's hot. Except for the 2 weeks of spring and the 2 weeks of winter each year. The last couple of years, we've had REALLY cold weather. This year, we had the joy of rolling blackouts too. Well, at our house the blackout didn't roll so much as sit still for 3 hours. So, I've put together a few things to do when your power is out or its just too cold to go outside.


1. Build a fire! Helps keep the chill away when your house drops to 60 degrees inside. And, its pretty:)


2. Eat goldfish. No heating needed. Just open and enjoy!

3. Do puzzles. You can put them together, take them apart and do it again and again. And, no power necessary!

4. Visit with friends and their VERY cute babies. (The power was back on at this point, but its still a great idea!)

5. Drink wine. It warms you up and well, any time is a good time for wine:)
