There is always a clown in the bunch... usually Emilia.

We've been busy the past few weeks watching Butler win and advance to the Final Four. Mike had a great time in DC and New Orleans and is now ready for his last and final trip to Houston. We've missed having Daddy around, but spring break is this week so stay tuned for posts about what I hope will be a really fun staycation for the kids. 

Anabelle has continued to delighted me with her never-ending list of questions and small talk. She told me the other day, in her infinite five-year old wisdom that, "Suckers should be called lickers, because you lick them." She's also continued to talk about my post-pregnancy weight asking, as we are pulling into the parking lot of the gym, "Mommy, will working out make your tummy get smaller after the baby?" Ugh, why do we keep taking about my tummy?!? She also went with me to get an oil change, which apparently was her first time going, because she proceeded to ask me what those people were doing to our car and why those things needed to be done to our car and then asking one of the Jiffy Lube guys how the oil worked in the car. Geesh!

School is cool and below are some new school assignments that Anbelle has brought home.

Do you swim all day? Yes I do, the fish says. Is it cold? A little, the fish says.

A map helps you go where you want to go.

Abe is growing like a weed and starting to smile pretty often. Of course, his sisters are what makes him most happy.

Emilia is ready for Abe to do something other than just sit around. I think she thought that if she piled as many toys as possible in his swing that maybe, just maybe, he'd play with her. It's hard to believe Abram will be six weeks old on Thursday. Where does the time go? 

Here are a few pictures of Mike's travels these past few weeks...
