My baby girl turned three. THREE! Can you believe it? She posed, but see, she's three, so it had to be HER pose. If the camera panned out, you would see she is bent double at the waist and has her arms straight up in the air. Very chique.
My baby boy turned one. I get so dang sentimental on my kids' birthdays and to have both so close makes me kind of basket-case-y for that block of time. He is such a happy boy. He loved his candle and cake. He had that huge smile even though the next day he was finally diagnosed with a raging ear infection. What a trooper!
My baby sister got married. Okay, I don't think I've ever ever called her "baby sister," but it fit so sequentially with the first two that I just couldn't help it. Kelsey and Spencer got married on March 20, and we had a fun-filled two weeks preparing for and enjoying the many festivities that accompany wedding celebrations. Miriam loved it and is all about who is married to who. She is sure that she will marry Elijah when they grow up. Eli seems to agree. I've decided to put off the incest discussion and just appreciate that they like each other.
We spent a week in Mexico. MEXICO! Brent's parents took their three boys, along with wives and children, for a fun-filled weeklong Mexican extravaganza. We visited Chichen Itza and Tulum, some Myan ruins, along with Xcaret and Cozumel. Our favorite times were playing on the beach, building sandcastles, and collecting seashells. It was hot. And it was wonderful. This picture is from a dinner at the restaurant at our resort (yep, right on the ocean!).
Anyway, last week we came back from Mexico with ear infections in both kids. And I'm pretty sure Elijah got some sort of a Mexican virus (or do they prefer the term Latin virus?). And what with the crazy schedule the week before in Mexico along with the various maladies, sleep has been bizarre. Strange. Almost nonexistant. Very hit-and-miss. This morning, miracle of miracles, I woke up in the morning without having been awakened all night long. HALLELUJAH! I could easily have slept a few more hours, but I felt great. It's amazing what the value of non-interrupted sleep is.
And that about sums it up. Hope your lives have been as eventful (and maybe more restful) than ours.
