I'm back

My home internet was out for over a week and I was going nuts.  It isn't much fun checking emails, responding to emails and searching the web on my phone all the time.  Although I am so happy I have an iphone and didn't go completely nuts.  

We had a great Passover and Easter weekend.  We went to Kansas City to visit my family on Saturday morning.  We had a great Passover seder and the kids even did a little easter egg hunting too.  It was nice to get away.  The boys did great in the car.  Samuel only asked every 5-10 minutes when we were going to get to Kansas City, so that wasn't too bad.  Simone also did great.  She barely cried, but she did get annoyed at being in her car seat about about 3 hours.  It should be interesting when I drive by myself this summer to Tulsa.  

Here are some pictures from the week and weekend.  

Simone is now 6 months old.  She is starting to sit up, but falls over after about 30 seconds.  She says "dada"  all the time.  I think she is even associating "dada" with Dave.  He walked up the other day and she looked right at him and said "Dada".  She is the first of our kids to say that first.  Both Samuel and Joseph said "Mama" first.  She is already so different.  I take her to the doctor next week, so we will see how big she has gotten.  She is still an amazing baby and I am so grateful every day that we finally got an easy going baby.  This is such a blessing.  


Simone and Joseph.  They are looking more and more alike.  

All the kids chillin on Simone's blanket

She's 6 months old!

Some more funny faces

Sitting up!

First road trip of the year.  As you can see, Joseph must wear his hat all the time.  Crazy boy.

Getting comfy in the car.

Samuel showing his artistic side.

The cousins hanging out on the swing outside.  Look at how blue Haidyn and Samuel's eyes are.  Do you think they are related?  

Laura and the beautiful Haidyn.

Another funny look, but her dress is pretty!

About the best picture we could get of everyone with Zayde

Simone in her new bathing suit, which she is already too big for.  Need to go get at least a 9 month or bigger suit.  She is huge!
