Random Photos I Found on Nana & Papa's Camera

Dillon won't take a nap in his bed anymore. He usually falls asleep on the couch while watching Barney.

The kids with my mom's best friend, Karen. I always called her Aunt Karen growing up.

That's all for now. I've been trying to get Lacy walking. She can walk while holding onto something. But lately she's not interested. I'll keep trying!

Field Trip to the Hartville Fire Station

On Thursday, Lily's preschool class went to the Hartville Fire Station for a field trip. Papa took her and Dillon too. Papa said that Dillon got scared at first at the sight of the fireman all dressed up in his gear. But, Papa calmed him down and he had fun. Here are a few photos. Thanks, Papa!

More February Fun

Saturday evening, our friends Katy and Dale came over with their two boys, Kai and Max. We had a pizza dinner, played Ticket to Ride (fun game) and let the kids play together. I only snapped a few photos, but we all thought Lily and Kai riding the horse was hilarious and very picture worthy.

The next photos were taken on Sunday.

Big Brother and Little Sis shirts. Lily was very disappointed that we couldn't find her Big Sister shirt. Anson and I both looked everywhere - all kids' closets, drawers, dirty clothes, etc. We just couldn't find it. Turns out that when we were looking for gloves later in the day, we found it in a plastic bag the coat closet!

I LOVE this photo. I love how close they are and they really do care about and love each other. I'm sure in 6-12 months, Lacy will join them. She's still too young to really play with them. But, soon enough!

Playing outside! It was warm enough to stay out for about a half an hour. Anson took Sampson to Pet Supplies Plus to get groomed and Lacy was napping.

They love to swing. Dillon will say "Ing me, Mommy!"

I love this action shot. Lily was pushing him from the back and I was pushing him from the front.

Lacy up to no good. I call her my "Stinker Winker!"

V-Day & Kindergarten Registration

Tuesday was Lily’s preschool Valentine’s party. I volunteered for it and helped out with the games. We had the kids play musical hearts, hot heart, dance freeze and cupid says. It was a lot of fun. Lily seems to really enjoy school. She was playing and dancing with all her classmates. We are so proud of her.

Thursday evening, Feb. 16, (after dance class) we took Lily to Uniontown Elementary to sign her up for Kindergarten! I can’t believe our baby girl is going to start full day school in the fall. I know she is going to love it. I’m just concerned about what other kids will teach her!

After we registered, we walked around the hallways of the school. There are 5 kindergarten classes. We asked for Lily to be put in a class with her dance friend, Karly, so she will at least know one other kid. Karly is shy so it’ll be good for her to have Lily too.

I’m worried how Dillon will react to Lily going to school. Those two are inseparable! He’s really going to miss his “Iggy.” At least Lacy will be walking around by then. He’ll probably begin playing with her more.

Here are a few photos and a video from Lily’s Valentine’s party at school.

Lily was pouting a little bit because she got out. There were no tears from any of the kids, though. I was shocked.

Dancing!
