B2's Chick Hatching Party

Last week, Paige's class had a chick hatching potluck. For 21 days, they studied eggs and animals that hatch from eggs. A local farm gave them about a dozen eggs to watch hatch. The eggs stayed in an incubator in their classroom. They also got to crack open an ostrich egg and an emu egg, (I am still waiting for Paige to tell me what an emu is). Around the 21st day, the chicks started hatching. Paige was so excited. Not all of them hatched though. The teachers decided to have a chick hatching party since the chicks would have to go back to the farm. Since I forgot my camera, Rhea's dad sent me these pictures.

Gardening with Papa

Papa decided he wanted to grow his own vegetables this year. So, he unlisted Paige to help him plant the green beans. They also painted tomatos and peppers. We can't wait to watch them grow.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and women I know. I had a great day. My parents took the kids down to Cincy for the night so Geoff and I could go to a wedding. I drove down the next day to pick them up. We went to church and then to the Fish Market for lunch. Then back to Titi's for a little while. We had a good time. Motherhood is such a wonderful thing and I am so privilege to have my two little joys in my life.

Aren't they cute

Thought I would share these great pictures of the kids. They are so cute and love when I take their picture.

Preston Bowman aka Jack SparrowWhile in Chicago, Paige's cousin Grace, taught Paige a wonderful way to eat strawberries, now Paige thinks that is how they are supposed to be eaten.

Roller Derby

Our Niece, Kaleigh had her 6th birthday at USA Skates. The kids had such a good time and were able to skate too. Paige thought she could take the skates home. However, Paige's other cousin Grace gave Paige her old ones and now Paige is in heaven. Preston loves them too. Thanks Grace

Chicago Finally

Finally, here are some pictures of our girls trip to Chicago. Again, we had so much fun and wait to go back.

Girls Trip to Chicago

Paige and I got back from Chicago last weekend. Unfortunetly I have missplaced my cord for my camera so when I find it I will download some pictures. We had a great time with Mamo, Titi Becky, Maddy, Grace, Aunt Lori, and Lola. Yes all girls. As Paige says "No Boys Allowed" Now she thinks all vacations are just with girls. Anyway, the reason for going to Chicago.....The American Girl Place. It was really neat. I even fell in love with everything and it was really hard not to buy Paige everything she wanted. When you enter the store, it makes you think of your own childhood. We got there Thursday morning and went non stop until Saturday night. We did lots walking, shopping, and sightseeing. We even exposed the kids to public transportation. We took the train, bus, and even a carriage ride. However, I think that will be Mamo'[s last one, since she almost had an allergy attack. I hope to find that cord soon.
