Ready For Some Baseball

We got Lucas all signed up for baseball this spring! He was so excited that he dug out his old uniform from last year to show me how he can throw. Shea, of course, got in on the action, too. We are hoping that baseball goes better this year than last...

Hello?

Y'all (all six of you)...I promise I am still here. Life got COMPLETELY crazy this month. We are moving and selling our current house. Eventually, I will catch up on everything you have missed!

Valentine's Day

We had a very low key Valentine's Day this year. The kids each got a new coloring book and crayons, and Phil and I had an early dinner in downtown McKinney while my parents watched the kids. Valentine's in one of my least favorite holidays, but I am blessed to have lots of people to love on each year :)

On a side note...Shea was looking ADORABLE in her Valentine's outfit!!

Sweet Siblings

Sometimes, my kids actually act like they like each other :) It makes my momma heart happy!

Reading Buddies

I walked into Lucas' room the other day and saw this...

The kids were sitting inside our coffee table and Lucas was "reading" to Shea. So cute. He has lots of his books memorized, so he reads them to her whenever she will sit still for long enough.

Side note: Our coffee table opens up for storage, and Lucas has dubbed the inside his "hole". (He got the from the show Dinosaur Train.) Occasionally, he will just ask if he can please sit in his hole to watch tv or have the hole in his room to nap in. Sweet boy.

Dress Up Diva

So...Shea got dress up clothes for Christmas. And now THIS happens about every other day at my house. Lord, help me :)

Puzzle Boy

This is just one of those snapshot posts I wanted to write to remember a little thing about my child at this age. Lucas loves jigsaw puzzles. And he is REMARKABLY good at them. He currently does 100 piece ones on his own, so I am thinking about moving him up to 200. You know, the ones that say 8-10 years old on the box. Sheesh!  The really scary part is that he MEMORIZES the pieces. After he works it the first time, he will get it back out and say things like, Mommy, I am looking for that piece with a little blue in the corner and one piece of green grass...do you see that one? Then, he will find it and pop it right into place. His memory is a little scary sometimes :) I love puzzles, too, so I can't wait until we can set up a huge 5000 piece one on the dining room table and work it together someday!
