Naptime at our house

This afternoon, I was downstairs doing laundry during naptime. I went upstairs to check on the kiddos (they were quiet unusually quickly today and it made me suspicious) and this is what I found...

...an empty bunkbed(please ignore the mess under the bed!)...

...and two boys asleep in my bed, favorite blankies and all! They even brought their pillows with them!

They woke up when I took the picture. Sam got up but Andrew rolled over and went right back to sleep...

Too cute. Hey, a nap is a nap, I'll take it anyway it comes!

Reason to Celebrate!!!

Joe just got his scores for his fourth and final CPA exam and .... HE PASSED!!!

I can't even describe how relieved and happy I am! He has worked so hard and has given up a lot to get this done (we all have!), I'm so glad to have it done! Now, he just needs to come home from Texas (where he is at a conference this week) so that we can celebrate!

A Strange New Experience

With the occassionally warm and sunny weather in between all of the rain we've been having, I try and have the kids spend as much time outside as possible! Abby loves the outdoors and is especially fascinated with her latest discovery... grass! She loves the texture and concentrates so hard to try and grasp a single blade. She is one happy baby when she is outside, especially now that she can sit up on her own!But, sometimes this happens....and she usually yells until we sit her back up.
Finally, though, she just figured out that grass is cool on your tummy, too.

Even though she's my third, I still love watching as she discovers her world. It's so fascinating and it never gets old!
