Ava is 1/2! She’s sitting, smiling, squealing, and completing her daily regimen of ab crunches. Someday, I’ll capture that on camera. It happens often enough, I really should have it already!
We love you, Ava!

We’re Rich!
Nothing like a math lesson in counting by twos to remind us of how rich we are in material goods.
Nothing like dumping out the box of baby shoes to remind me how rich I really am. The blue shoes Caleb wore the first summer he was walking. Sophia wore them for awhile too. I remember some of those days like yesterday…in a fuzzy, nostalgic, happy sort of way, of course. ;)
Butterflies!
I’m sure you can find better documentation and photos of the caterpillar to butterfly transformation pretty much anywhere. We’ve been watching our caterpillars grow. Last week they emerged from their cocoons and we released them this past weekend. They were ready to fly!
You can see one caterpillar beginning to hang and form his chrysalis.
Waiting for the butterflies to emerge.
Butterflies!
There are plenty of children’s books and resources about caterpillars and butterflies, but here are a few we’ve enjoyed this week.
Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert
Once There Was a Caterpillar by Judith Anderson and Mike Gordon (ill.)

Egg Shells
Several weeks ago, we read Rechenka’s Eggs for preschool and dyed eggs to go along with the story. 
One last tidbit
One last tidbit, I forgot to post about Sophia’s recent birthday…
After waking up to streamers on her bedroom door and balloons in the kitchen, before we’ve even gotten to the breakfast table, Sophia asks me, “Am I three now, Mommy?”
“Yes.”
“Can I go to the dentist now?”
Too bad her first dentist appointment isn’t until July.

One thing…
One thing leads to another.
Not sure what the fish faces are for.
What better way to make sure your bathtub and children get cleaned?
