Catch up time!

My blog has become much like my personal journal.  At the beginning of every entry I feel the need to apologize for my long absence of writing.  I also usually wonder if there's any point in updating once every three months.  Oh well.  Some day I will be good at this!  Anyway, it would be a shame not to share some shots of these cute kiddos.  :)

Our one and only sledding trip this winter was quite the adventure.  The kids were very  apprehensive and had to ride down with Richard or I each time.  And they kind of enjoyed it.  Right before we had to leave I convinced Ariel and Rue to go down together without us.  They ended up running into Richard at the bottom (Who was stopping them from hitting the bathroom. . .) and they both flew off.   Yes, flew!  It was very traumatic for both of them, but we can't help but laugh every time we think of it now.

Ariel's still always on the lookout for a pretty clothing combination from her drawer.  This is her new favorite one.  (Still don't know how to rotate these pictures. . . .)

Rue is always on her own schedule.  She often won't eat a thing first thing in the morning when the rest of the family eats breakfast.  We always find her an hour or two later helping herself to her soggy cereal.  :)  Good thing I'm not always on top of breakfast clean up!

They're playing car.  My favorite is Baby and the doll in the back.

This cutie pie is growing up too fast!  She had a blast this night on her first attempt to feed herself.   We had a blast watching her!

We hosted the Valentines joy school party.  Sugar cookies, always a hit!

The kids enjoyed making heart shaped pizza for dinner.

So. . . that's what we've been up to since January.  Phew!  I think we're caught up.  Hope your life is as crazy and fun as ours is!
