Tae Kwon Do Tournament

MiniM.E. loves Tae Kwon Do, but hasn't competed in many tournaments. Today she competed in a small tournament held at her school. She has been working hard, but we were all surprised and impressed when she took home two gold medals; one for her form and one for breaking!

Congratulations, MiniM.E.! We are so proud of how hard you work!

Smiles, Suds, Sleep and Sun

Baby 4 is getting so big so fast!

Feels Like Spring!

We have been trying to get out and enjoy the warmer weather, even if it's just walking a little farther from the car to the library and back. 

Baby 4 just had a doctor's appointment, after which we had to get Dunkin' Donuts, because that's what we do after ALL doctor's appointments.

We took a walk on the Spring Run Trail

Took out the scooters

And got Dairy Haus for the second time in less than a week!

A Party and Playground Weekend

We had a fun weekend with a party for our friend who just closed on her own dental practice and a Purim Festival that Daddy and the girls went to while the boys and I played at the playground.

Our First Pierced Ears!

LittleL.G. has wanted her ears pierced for a while... and she finally decided she was going to be brave and just do it!

We went to a real piercing place, Needlewurks, downtown, as that was supposed to be the best. The piercer had lots of tattoos (including one of Mike from Monsters Inc.) and piercings. LittleL.G. didn't seem phased but I was pretty nervous.

She got to hold the pierced teddy bear and she was so brave and said it didn't hurt at all!

Happy First Day of Spring!

Even though the Dairy Haus opened the other day when it was so warm and spring-like, we saved our first trip of the year for the first day of spring!

Just Being Silly

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Feels Like Spring!

Yesterday we got our first little taste of spring as we took a walk outside and found all the puddles from the melting snow. (Two pairs of shoes later, wish I had thought to put SlimJim in rain boots...)

And today it really feels like spring. Let's hope this weather sticks around!

What's Been Going On

SlimJim found a new favorite activity that requires lots of towels, Baby4 had a couple bottles, we played outside, got staticky hair in the basement playroom, Metzger and Baby4 had a stare-off, SlimJim wore some stylish accessories to the TreePaad, we had lots of baby cuddles, and Baby4 started smiling, took a bath, and is holding his head up!
