Firefighters

Joshua today caught Maia on his prized fire truck. Instead of fussing over it he decided to help her go for a ride. Here are my little fire fighters cruising the house.

Mr. and Mrs. Duck are back!

Hooray for spring! Every year Mr. and Mrs Duck start to come by our house. Joshua had lots of fun feeding them, and feeding baby sister. Maia had a great time with the ducks too. I remember being very pregnant with Joshua and waddling out to feed Mrs. Duck who was obviously about to have some eggs of her own.

Good morning!

Good morning everyone, from the Pajama Monsters! Joshua has these jammies in every size from 1-3 years. I'll be sad when he outgrows them, but baby sister is growing into them now, so here are my little matching monkeys. All the 2 liter bottles in the background are from out bottle bowling match.

Rock Song

Here's princess Maia with her wild wild hair. Joshua told us this morning that he made a "rock song." Here's Joshua's rock song that he made up all by himself. Personally I think it sums up the human condition and political climate/cause for wars rather well.

"Everybody has a rock.
Everybody doesn't want to lose a rock,
but everybody wants to keep a rock.
That's how the world works.

Everybody likes a rock,
But everybody doesn't like a rock if it rolls away.
Everybody likes a rock when it stays here."

Obviously Joshua has a rather literal understanding of the term "rock song."

Easter

Too many pictures to post them all, so here are a few highlights. The kids had a great Easter. We went to a small shopping center yesterday where Joshua went from shop to shop gathering eggs. Today the kids found their baskets (Joshua has a duckie basket and Maia has a bunny) then we went to church where they had another egg hunt. Even Maia found an egg. We all went home for lunch and then the big Kirkland park egg hunt downtown. Finally we came home, dyed eggs and had Easter ham for dinner. It's been a big day and the kids are crashed out hard. As you can see, Maia is sleeping really hard, on her tummy, bum in the air and head under her crib sheet. Also, today Maia turned 11 months old.
