2010 - Have you missed us?

Lukas is now 8 months old! Wow how time flies. He still is completely toothless, moves around on the floor by stretching his arms out and wiggling his body, and giggles at his sisters. Also his white hair is really starting to fill in! He is such a fun little guy.

Emily - Easter 2010. I let her wear my pearls...she felt like a pretty pretty princess! Can't you tell by the uneasy smile on her face? I had to get her to stop climbing all over the rocks long enough to snap a photo!

Allison, what can I say? I think the mischief shines through on her face! She gets into everything, but you can't help but love the little tyke. I think she dropped those chocolate eggs about 20 times and carefully put them back into her egg each time. She knows what she wants!

Don't you love the headband? We use them to hold her hair back when she's eating, and sometimes she just ends up wearing it all day like that.

Other news since Christmas...we had a great trip to Las Vegas at the end of the year for a Nelson family reunion. It was so fun to have the entire family there together. We celebrated my mom's and Allison's birthdays and got to hang out with all the cousins. The kids had a wonderful time.

I resigned from my job at the Zoo in February and have since been busy keeping up with the kids and balancing some freelance marketing jobs on the side. Now that I don't have to work 15-20 hours a week, I don't know how I ever did it while juggling everything else! I suppose there was a lot less cooking and cleaning going on. Although there's still not that much. At least my house still never seems to be clean, despite my efforts!
