Thomas First (Naturally) Lost Tooth

Thomas had a loose tooth. He asked me for an apple, uncut, that he could eat to help get his tooth out. And it worked!

Glamour Girl

McKenzie got to go to her friend's birthday party which was held at MonkeyDooz salon. She had a great time getting pampered.

Dr. Seuss Day

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday, so the schools celebrate with a fun reading/pajama day, and the kids wear hats like the Cat in the Hat.

Thomas loved being able to wear his pajamas for school. He had been asking about it for weeks. Here is Michael walking him down to the bus stop.


Mason's preschool got in on the fun and made their own hats. (He refused to pose for a picture.)

She's Not a Toddler Anymore

Megan has had a growth spurt. I noticed it in her legs. They're getting longer, leaner, stronger, and just older looking. I wanted to get a picture of just her legs, but it is hard to get one of her standing still. She loves to dance and sing, and she is always twirling, jumping, climbing, moving. Appropriately enough, she is wearing her absolute favorite nightgown, the "princess ballerina" one. It's a ratty old hand-me-down from McKenzie, who also loved it to pieces. Megan requests to wear it every night, even though she has several other *nicer* pairs of pajamas to choose from.


I hope by recording moments like these, I'll be able to remember these days forever even when they are long gone.

A Little Backyard Entertainment

Michael broke out his Nitro Truck on Sunday afternoon. The picture of the kids was too small in my collage, so here it is again. I love how Mason is in the middle of lisping "Yesss!" while Megan sits so serenly with her hands in her lap.

Our Literary Princess

This morning greeted me with Megan in her "princess dress" (over her pjs) ready to read about Jamie O'Rourke and the Pooka. What a great way to start the day!

Raisins, Anyone?

Megan is very concerned about her "frozen hands" after a long bath.
