This past Sunday was the first service of the new 'Bridge Curch' starting in Bville. It was held at the Red Mill Inn, formerly Mercer Mill!  A beautiful place....

It was a long day for us, but so worth it.  We attended our regular services in the AM, then met at 2PM to get everything set up. Sean helped with the technical aspect and Cara and I helped with the children. A nice catered dinner was served afterwards..the ziti and meatballs were incredible!! And the dessert...OH MY!!!!!

Before we left to go home, the kids wanted to see the river...

Looking directly across the river.

Kendall playing with a water bottle, watching her siblings run around.

And a nice family photo...taken by Katrina! I can't remember the last time we had a nice one like this taken!

Easter

Sean's brothers took the initiative and hid 70 eggs for my 3 children and their cousin, Myah, to find.  It took awhile, but 69 were found..not sure where #70 is!! There was chocolate in some and money in others....the kids are counting their eggs and checking to see what's hiding inside!

This is Sean's maternal grandmother holding Kendall.

Playing with grandma's rug....

Big smile...and lots of drool!

A silly face....

Oops!! Rolling over....

Cara's spring concert...

Cara decided all on her own to join chorus this year. I'm so glad she did...she loves it! She's coming to the end of 5th grade..only 6 weeks of schooldays left! She's growing up before our eyes...a little too fast for my liking!! She's quite tall...already over my shoulders!!

Kendall's first swing experience

She wasn't quite sure what to think, but by the end, I think she liked it!

Se her toes curling?

We've been receiving the 'Family Fun' magazine for many months now...awesome ideas for families with children of all ages. This  past month we found a recipe for goop...consists of only corn starch and water(we added food coloring, but discovered the blue stained Brendan's hands!). 

A very interesting substance! When it is sitting in the plate you can 'walk' your fingers across it and it acts like a solid. But if you lay your hand on top, it will sink! And, if you pick it up in your hands, it will drip out of your hands slowly, almost like slow motion. 

Each of the kids had a different color, but as you can see, they shared their colors with each other!

Playground time!

This is the park referred to as 'The Firetruck Park'...my kids love this one and it is only about 6 blocks away. Two Saturdays ago, Sean and I decided to take the kids and just have some family time.  We stopped at Rite Aid for a couple cold drinks, then walked down.  The kids went right to playing and Kendall and I relaxed on an old quilt in the shade. 

Caitlin LOVES this...and always asks Sean to twirl her as fast as possible!  Enjoy the next few pics...

Gotta love the action setting on my camera...otherwise she would be a complete blur!

Can't believe her flip flops didn't fly off!!

Notice her pigtails...

Completely dizzy...falling down!

Now it's on to the swings...Caitlin has NO fear of heights.  She's our daredevil and always the one with all the bruises.

Kendall's second time in a swing....she's not too sure about I think!

Maybe she does like it!

Cara taking a break in the shade...it was almost 90F that day!! VERY unseasonable for April!

Caty at the top!!

Cara at the top...she's not too sure about the height thing!

Brendan posing...he was rocking back and forth on this like mad...so funny to watch!!

Playing outside....

We had a stretch of beautiful weather and while cleaning out my flowerbeds, Kendall played on an old quilt.  You can see she gets very serious about her toys...I've come to love this expression!  

Caty decided to join in the fun...Kendall ALWAYS smiles at Caty!  Who wouldn't?? Her smile is very infectious!

Her bald spot in the back is finally growing in, now that she's not laying on her back all the time!

Kendall Leigh at 6 months!

Isn't she getting big????  Already halfway to 1...doesn't seem possible.  She's very active...rollling over both ways and thoroughly enjoying the bouncer!  Still no teeth...but you can count on her chewing on everything in sight and drool everywhere.  

Her 6 month appointment was April 2nd and she weighed 16 pounds 6 ounces and measured 27" long!  Just right for her weight and in the 90% percentile for her height!!  She'll be tall too....  BUT...her head measured in the 10-20th percentile...but I think it's just right!  

Kendall has also started babbling...mostly 'blah-blah-blah", but occasionally she'll say 'dada'!!!  SO exciting!  

My beautiful children...

Caitlin at Christmas....this girl is a spitfire! So very stubborn, but she can also be very sweet and thoughtful.

Brendan, with his 9th birthday cake I made for him. He's getting so tall...he'll be just like Sean.

Cara and Kendall, just chillin'. Cara is very helpful with Kendall. They like to play together in the crib!

My internet is back...and so am I!

So, our internet is back on...and I am beyond thrilled! I missed being able to post photos and updates for everyone! I have some catching up to do, so please bear with me.... The photos posted today are mostly from the last month or so. I still have to go through MANY photos of Kendall and the kids, their birthdays and Christmas.

Sound asleep. Kendall sleeps very well most of the time. She started sleeping in her crib at night and for at least one nap of the day. She was sleeping with us, but Sean informed me that it was time for her to sleep in the crib...he just wasn't getting a good night's sleep with us crammed in there! I think Kendall was the only one who was getting a good night's sleep! A queen bed is not optimal for 3!

Laying in her crib after a bath...making noise, which she loves to do!

Me and Kendall...I love this little girl. She has quite the personality!

Always wide-eyed...so very curious about everything now.

Chilly after a bath...love that hair! We do lots of giggling after bath time....

For Christmas...and, please help remind me...I STILL need to mail some of these out!!

Kendall at 2 1/2 months. I love this photo!
