Happy 4th B-Day Leah!

It is crazy to think that for four years, I have been separating our family laundry into darks, lights, and pinks, and cleaning glitter out of the lint trap of the dryer. For four years, we have been blessed to have Miss Leah Catherine in our lives! She turned four last week, and she couldn't have been more excited for her birthday. She tiptoed into our room at about 5:50am and whisper-shouted, "Hey guys! Guess What?! I'm FOUR now! Can you measure me on the wall now?!" We made her wait awhile before we measured her on the wall. Her birthday included her favorite meals, a trip to the mall to pick out new clothes, a turn on the mall-jumpy-trampoline-thing (sadly, the mall choo-choo is gone...), and more!

Daddy cooked Leah's birthday breakfast request: biscuits!

With butter. Of course.

Uncle Greg let Leah paint his nails.

Pink with sparkles. Beautiful!

FOUR!

For dinner, Leah chose a restaurant that serves her favorite meal:

Corn Dogs!

She's still a sweetheart - she even shared her birthday sundae.

Opening presents back at home.

Leah, these past four years have been our favorites. You bring us so much joy, and we love you so much! We are so proud of the brave, caring, intelligent, faithful girl you are. Thanks for teaching us to be Mommy and Daddy.

3 little monkeys!

These three are going to have lots of fun together! (And probably cause a decent amount of trouble! )

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
