Giere Life: March 2012

We have had amazing weather the last few weeks and I don't know who's been happier about it, the kids or myself! The kids are doing great...Hannah is enjoying 2nd grade and the exciting things she's learning. She'll start soccer again for the spring soon and I know she's thrilled to be back on the field (she's been practicing her skills in the backyard :) Ellie is enjoying her last few weeks in preschool. She's been practicing reading and still enjoys her Barbies immensely. And, sweet Sammy has been expending his energy outside every chance he can get. This sometimes makes for one tired, (crabby) young man. Of course he can still muster up enough energy to make us laugh...a lot!

Nolan and Nathan are 7 months old and doing wonderfully. At last weight check, Nolan was 3 lbs heavier than Nathan, although Natey isn't small by any means! They are both practicing their sounds..."baa, baa, baa, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle." They're sitting like big boys and when they're on their bellies, they push up more and more...crawling is right around the corner (YIKES!)!

A sign of a well spent afternoon outside...DIRTY feet and a sleeping boy.

Nolan trying our baby swing for the first time.

Enjoying the ride and his finger (both boys are teething...FUN!)

I just came to the realization that Sammy is going to be 4 in just over a month. I've been thinking of him as a little 3 yr. old and truly, although he still is technically 3, he's ALMOST 4!! Unreal!

I love this little man!
