So much for spring...

So I thought that "April showers bring May flowers," but apparently in 2008 it brings a whole load of spring snow.

IMG_6321 Last night it started to come down, and it didn't quit until about noon today! 

By the time things started melting, we ended up with somewhere around 6-8 inches, and the whole neighborhood was out with snow blowers, shovels and plows.
Thanks to our kind neighbor, we returned home from a quick shopping trip to find our driveway cleared, which Danika took advantage of to ride her tricycle.

Go Danika, Go!

IMG_6326 The backyard was all ready for summer, and we had even set up the fun play cottage.  Thankfully, things are already warming up, and I think within a few days this snow will only be a bad memory!

Well, we had our 6 month shots today. We cried a lot but also found out that we are growing big and strong. We are doing great! The Doctor said we are wonderful and so try all sorts of different foods. One thing at a time...next up will be carrots. Tavan (left) weighed in at 17 pounds 8 oz. (50%) 27.5 inches long (80%) and is head is 17.5 in.(75%). Eli (right) weighed in at 17 pounds 3 oz. (50%) 28.5 inches long(97%) and his head is also 17.5 in (75%).

Here we come Sippy Cup world!

IMG_6313 Here is Eli learning to use a sippy cup.  He was getting the hang of it.  Here Daddy is helping him learn what to do.
IMG_6314 Tavan enjoyed playing with his cup more than anything.  He didn't quite get the hang of drinking from it, but I sure will be eager to try.

6 Months Old!!! Can you believe it???

IMG_6267 Here is Tavan, Smiley as can be!!! He is a very happy baby and loves to smile and giggle.  A good friend of mine thinks that he is going to be a little flirt.  He has two teeth and rolls over to his left.  He loves his sweet potatoes and squash.  Likes is cereal but not as much.  He certainly is a bit bigger than his brother.
IMG_6281 Eli, who was not super impressed with mom taking pictures at this moment.  He is usually just as happy as his older brother.  He loves to giggle and smile too.  He has two teeth and rolls over to his left too.  He LOVES all of his food.  We wonder if he actually tastes it!
