We still love to just sit and watch Ilyssa. The last ultasound I had of her she was sticking her tongue in and out the whole time. I noticed she did it right after she was born and I think it's funny how much she is STILL always playing with her tongue. I like how these pictures show how much dark hair Ilyssa has. All of the other kids started out with dark hair as babies, but then ended up going blonde. Since Ilyssa has so much more hair, we'll have to see if she does the same thing or if she gets to keep her brown hair like me.

Spring Piano Recital

There were many times this winter/spring when Isaac got tired of practicing the piano and wanted to quit taking lessons. We made him stick it out and I'm so glad he did. Isaac did really well at his recital and didn't even seem worried about going up and playing in front of everyone. Isaac played Battle Hymn of the Republic for his recital. I sat with him to help him turn the pages to give him one less thing to be nervous about.

It was hard to get a very close up shot of Isaac while he was actually playing. He was a good sport about posing for a few after the recital was over.

Good job Isaac!

Ian's first lost tooth

Ian lost his first tooth this morning during breakfast. He was a little worried when it came out, but he is definitely excited for the tooth fairy to come tonight!

He also thought it was pretty cool that he earned his "tooth" necklace today at school. Everyone in his kindergarten class gets one when they lose a tooth.

Ian has a handsome, "toothless" smile now!
