Abigail will turn 6 on Sunday and is a tooth loosing fiend! She has recovered very well from her surgery earlier this month removing her tonsils and adnoids. Mom was VERY worried for a few days due to it being so quiet. For two whole days Abbey didn't talk AT ALL, she also lost 5 pounds because she wouldn't eat. Now things are back to noisy normal, and Abbey is always hungry. Yeah! Abigail is doing very well in school and has earned the Gold Medal for reading 100 books! She will be presented with her award at the Kindergarten graduation in May, and she is very proud of herself. Abbey is an excellent reader, writer ( she has the most beautiful printing), and artist. She is also the best sister Emmy could ever ask for.

Eli turned four in March and now is a "Big" kid. He still loves Transformers and Star Wars but now also loves to watch Star Wars too. He loves to ride his bike when Mom and Emmy wog, and play lightsabers and guns with all the neighbor kids in the backyard. He is energetic and curious and when the family is playing soccer together he loves to swoop in and steal the ball. He is a great dribbler and has good ball control. But it is impossible to get it back once he gets it because he runs away from where everyone else is so he can have the ball longer. He is a very creative kid!


William is fully into spring soccer season now. Saturday will be his 3rd game, and so far his team is undefeated. He really likes his team and has played with many of the kids before. At Saturdays game he played goalie for a while and was VERY glad he had practiced his goalie kicks in the back yard so much, as he had LOTS of practice kicking the ball out after some great saves. His favorite time to play though is in the back yard with his Dad. It is so fun to see them go head to head and try to out do each other with their "moves".

You can tell winter is really over when nothing can keep you inside! Emmy loves being outside. We go wogging (walking/running) almost everyday, and she thinks her stroller is awesome!

Also last week she figured out how to crawl. She is still perfecting her moves but is very effective at never being where I put her down. She also thinks it is the best fun in the world to pull the cord on the phone and have it smash to the ground! She thinks that is truly the best! Oh dear!

Here we are back to Spring again! We had a healthy baby girl in September and have adjusted well. We now have two boys William and Eli, and two girls Abigail and Emmaline. Today after Will's soccer game, and a pit stop at a hole in the wall Taqueria with some friends, We planted a few tomato plants, jalepenos, and cauliflower. My hubby mowed the lawn for the first time this season and we put up an organizer on the wall in the garage for all my gardening tools. I love it. The weather was sunny and in the 70's and we could just see summer up around the corner. I am so excited!
