Thanks GG and PaPa John!

Jack wanted to say thanks for the Dino Lego Copter -he is so excited to put it together and play with it!

We are going to go out to dinner and then open up the rest of his presents. More pictures coming soon.

Look Out The Window

This is a pic of Emma looking out our front window.

She is usually very active, bouncing from one thing to another but here she just kind of lost herself for a few seconds and just watched the world go by. I wondered what she was thinking. Then she went back to playing, the spell broken.

Best $35 we ever spent. So far.

Jack and Emma

I can't let a week go by without the obligatory photo of my two favorite kids.

 Between he two pictures, one is smiling in each. Put them together and you get two happy kids.

Lucky Me

I was in the backyard yesterday and as the kids were playing, I noticed a bunch of clover on my lawn. I started looking to see if I could find a four leaf clover. I found one in five minutes.

I posted that picture on Facebook and got a lot of likes. Karen Gilmore (our neighbor growing up)  said she has never found one of those in her life. The next day, Emma and I went out to the front lawn and I thought about how special it must be to find one. I started looking again and found not one, but two, very close to each other.

 

I saved them, one of them the last one I let Jack pick and he can keep it. I tried to save one of them in a plastic resin but that didn't go so well. I wanted to preserve it but used the wrong stuff and pretty much encased it in plastic that is opaque, making it very hard to see.
