Another friendly update of our lives:)

It has been a little while since I last wrote, so I have posted a few pictures that have occured over the past month. Spring has hit and I am loving every second--except for the fact that along with spring comes allergies to everything that is growing! But I love flowers and planting our garden.

Taylor is now four months and not really growing, so the doctor put him on some medicine to take with a little bit of rice cereal. It has helped tremendously. His spitting up is significantly decreased and his happy time during the day is way, way better. Now we just need him to sleep at night better. Taylor also got his first hair cut this past Saturday. Unfortunately, I forgot to put the sissors away and Lydia gave herself a haircut too. I had to cut about four inches off. Luckily, her hair was very long, so even with the hair cut, it's still just below her shoulders. I almost cried.

Ashlee is a champ at riding her bike now and loves to ride it all afternoon with her friends. She loves school and is currently working on a "great brain" project on horses. She amazes me with her ability and desire to complete projects at school.

Joshua loves playing on his soccer team. He scored his first goal two weeks ago. He thought that he deserved a dollar for scoring a goal. I told him no way. He is also improving slightly in his handwriting and I can read most of his work that he brings home.

Mark is taking next week off to start to finish our playhouse. We will all be so excited when that is finished.

Well, I should be making dinner so I better go.
