Lately...

Lately, we've spent a lot of time pretending to be Superheroes.  Between store bought and self made costumes, and the good old-fashioned "use your imaginination" costumes, I think we can pretty much act out any Superhero scene you can imagine.  In case you wondered, the picture above is Joshua being Thor.  He and Grandma made his wing hat, his cape was a Christmas present that is used by one of the children every waking minute of the day, and the hammer belongs to one of Lauren's pounding toys.

Lately, we've been spending a lot of time outside when it isn't raining.  We're loving meeting our new neighbors and getting to know them a little better.  We're really looking forward to some summer evenings spent enjoying the deck while the kids run in the yard.

Lately, we've been very caught up in our own little comedian ... Lauren.  It's customary to find her without any clothes on after supper time, and despite any effort to reason with her, it's no use.  As you can see below, though, even if you're naked, it never hurts to have a set of Tiffany's silver beads to dress up the ensemble.

You can see a little bit in this picture how her hair is finally starting to grow.  When she's hot or it's humid outside, it lays in curls, which I can't keep my hands off of. 

Lately, we've been making some big plans at our house.  Unexpected blessings abound, and we are so grateful.  We've been busy lately, but not too busy to enjoy every moment of our little family.

Picture overload expected from our weekend trip to Nana and Pap's.  Joshua has been counting down ever since I mentioned we were going to be headed there on Saturday, so I sure hope they're ready for him!
