A Surprise From Dad!

Sam came home from work a little late one day at the beginning of spring bearing gifts for the children. New bikes and helmets! Boy were they excited!

 And she's off!

 Sam trying to teach Emmitt to pedal.

He doesn't really get it.

 "It's not working!"

(Only the 'k' is pronounced like 't' and there's no 'g' sound on the end.)

You have to pedal, Emmitt.

 Too much work.

He would rather go play on the playground over there.

Thanks, Dad!

Mila's Birthday

This was the longest winter.

So much happened.

Both good and bad.

I decided this was the only thing from the last few months that I wanted to spend time with at this point. Now maybe blogging will be easier to do...

This sweet little thing turned 5 on February 13th.

 She wanted a yellow, heart-shaped cake with pink frosting. She allowed me to be a little lazy and do cupcakes. She was so happy about the pony on top, and that it had its own cake as well. She's so easy to please.

Thinking about her wish? Or licking her chops?

 This was her favorite present.

 And he's just cute.

The end.
