Bath toys

Sending a little shout out to the Noltes.

Thank you for sharing the extra bath toys with Madelyn and Sawyer. As you can see, we're having quite a good time with them!

Easter egg hunt (Part II)

Part II of this year's Easter egg hunt was a success. Two fields were prepared at Honey and Poppie's house - an outdoor one for walkers/runners and an indoor one for crawlers. Each participant collected all their respective eggs and then gathered together to examine their haul. By the way, Madelyn was an excellent big sister helping point Sawyer to his eggs if he didn't see them right away.

I was unsuccessful in getting a "good" picture of Madelyn and Sawyer. My hopes were to get one with them both looking and smiling. But, it turns out I still captured them quite well.

Hope you all had an enjoyable Easter! Many thanks to Kate and Trish for travelling to Colorado and spending the weekend with us. And, thanks to Honey for hosting such a wonderful Easter brunch. Good thing the Easter bunny came to your house!

Haircut

Sawyer was born with a head full of hair just like Madelyn. However, unlike his big sister, he doesn't get to keep his hair long and flowy. When he was really little, I remember discussing the over-under odds on him getting his first haircut by eleven months. Well, if you chose under, you won.

Buckled into the fire engine and ready to go. Spirits are high.

Munching on a few yogurt melts while the audience watches.

One last look at those beautiful locks.

"Just a little off the top and around the ears, please."

So much hair to trim. 

Almost done. 

The crowd goes WILD.

All done. So handsome and all smiles!

Soccer mom

It's official. I'm a soccer mom.

Madelyn's first soccer league started yesterday. She's on the red team for the Littleton Lollipops. The Lollipops is the starter program for the Littleton United Soccer League. Yesterday's "practice" was basically a bunch of game like exercises that help teach the little ones soccer fundamentals.

She did pretty well considering it was her first time. We've kicked the ball around in the yard and on the indoor turf at the rec center. She knew the ball should go in the goal. Occassionally, she'd leave "soccer world" and head for the goal. When that happened, one of her coaches would bring her and any other stragglers back to "soccer world" and the games would continue.

We think she enjoyed it. Considering she's the youngest on her team, she did really well. We were certainly proud of how well she listened and participated. And, she's so freaking cute. I mean, come on...

Ahhh!
