An Update for Char

I guess I should update with more than a few pictures. My sister Charlotte has been waiting for an update. Not much is going on around here. The big exciting event this weekend was buying a new fish tank. The children loved that and have been glued to the tank watching the fish all the time.



Tom hooked up the wagon to the lawn mower and gave the kids some rides. That was, of course, a huge hit. Much crying and whining were handed to us once the ride was over.


Tom keeps trying to work on the swing set that has planted itself in our garage for almost two months now. He gets about 20 minuets tops here and there to work on it, otherwise the children beg him to be with them and give his full attention to them. Noelle usually bats her long eyelashes, tilts her head, and sweetly asks Tom to snuggle her during Max and Violette's weekend nap times. How can a Dad say no to that? He can't. The times he does work on it Max is right there, glued to his side. The other day, while sorting bolts, he said, "Daddy we're two Handomes." That's one of my favorite new lines! He occasionally steals some tools and then we find them the next day hidden in some toy of his. Violette has been taking more and more steps on her own. Favoring her leg less and less now. I can't wait until she is full on walking because I'm sick of the dirty knees after playing outside. Her hair is getting a bit more curl and I got a pic of the back! Hopefully it continues and thickens, but at this age she has the biggest amount of curls.
Noelle enjoyed playing with my wedding veil and I captured a quick shot of her with my phone, cheesy grin and all:
That's it, I've got nothing else! Have a good rest of your week!

Are the fish still alive? We never have much luck with fish, or we get too lucky and they live forever. Someday the swingset will manage to put itself together. We'll have to come for a visit this summer, and we can take the kids on an outing, while Andy and Tom put it together!
