Here's another cute one of Larry and Kara. I found them like this when I first got up in the morning. If Kara ever doesn't go right back to sleep after nursing her during the night, then I call in Larry to take over.
Here's me and Kara at the St. Patrick's day parade in Hillsboro. It was raining so hard and it was windy and cold, so there weren't many people around. The kids got TONS of hard candy- about half of it was wet and inedible, but they had fun collecting it in their Halloween pumpkins. They didn't even have time to pick up all the candy during the parade.
We are all staked out and waiting. Lindsey was very friendly and cute, so tons of candy got thrown her way. (By the way, 2 of the kids here are friends, and Spencer is standing behind Derek).
In other news, Miranda just finished a basketball class. She enjoyed it- kind of. Derek is plotting with Spencer to earn $500 for the Star Wars Legos Millenium Falcon. They have both been doing lots of extra chores to earn money for it. (We keep reminding Derek that Spencer might change his mind and decide to buy something else before they get all the money. We'll see what happens with that). I have started teaching Spencer to read, like I did with Derek. He likes to say the wrong sounds for the letters. He thinks it's a great joke on me. Lindsey is the puzzle maniac lately. She's really getting good at them. She also likes to name the colors of things, play baby dolls, and she can actually draw a face with a circle head, eyes with a dot in them, and a half-circle mouth. Pretty good for a two year old. Kara is now 6 months old. She got her first taste of solid food and loves everything she has tried so far- rice cereal, bananas, carrots, and applesauce. She has her two bottom teeth as well.
We are in the process of getting permits for our house addition- so hopefully that will begin in a couple weeks.
