Spring Break 2010

April has been a busy month. For Easter this year, the weather was amazing for once! Nice and warm and sunny! We had good friends of ours over, and did up BBQ ribs and deviled eggs and chicken wing dip and iced tea. Everyone had a great time! It was one of the best Easter's I can remember! Unfortunately, we'll have to remember it mentally, as I didn't think to take any pictures....

This month, the baby has really grown - 17.2 pounds at 3 months!!! I looked up all my other babies weights, and at 7 months, Lexi was 16 pounds. My little moose is in the 95th height and weight percentile! He is, out of all my kids, the most easy going, calm, good natured baby. No hours of crying or fussiness for this kid! He is also on a great schedule, sleeping from about 8:00 PM till 4:00 AM. After I get him back to sleep, energy willing, I go with a friend at 5:00 AM for a brisk trot around Franklinville, (I love and hate this awesome friend for that 'brisk' pace!!!! I am more of a 'nice stroll' type. She's a big help for motivation!) Then, it's on to homework, before the rest of the kids get up. Homework is way easier when the kids are asleep!

The last two weeks, I have been on Spring break, before the home stretch of school. We didn't do too much, mostly I read lots of books, and cleaned the house. It was kind of nice, being a stay at home mom for all of two weeks! Here are some pictures...

Lexi took this awful picture of George. he is not really cross eyed and dopey looking!

We did take the kids to Buffalo last week. We went to the museum (LOVE the museum!!) and then down to the water front, to see the battle ships and submarine in the harbor. George just rolled with it.

Looking for fish. And spitting in the water....


The big kids

And, a Kaila picture, just to prove there are really parents around occasionaly! Behind us is the HSBC arena, home of the Sabres (GO Sabres!!!) and the future site of Bass Pro Shop.

Anyhow, I need to do a Blog in the near future with more baby pics, and some shots of Lexi and Joe, who both learned how to ride bikes this month! Lord help us, when they start driving....
