This week I have been potty training Henry. It has gone pretty well and he is trying really hard. We have been sticking close to home and playing lots of games inside. Yesterday he was playing fireman and I couldn't resist taking a video because it was so cute! I also love it because it reminds me how much my guy is growing and how much his little imagination and comprehension are forming so quickly. Enjoy!

Easter Weekend
We had a great Easter weekend. Saturday the weather was beautiful and we worked in our yard all day! Bill is making a set of pathways that lead to Henry's playhouse and I put a bunch of new plants so hopefully we can enjoy our yard this summer. Henry was busy getting dirty and Reese slept in her swing in the backyard for most of the afternoon. It was just so nice to have a day of fresh dry air!
Sunday the sun went away but we still had a great day. Henry woke up to a great big chocolate egg and he was so excited about the Easter Bunny. Below is a video of him right after he got his basket.
No basket for Reese but we got a chance to put her in a little dress and give her bunny ears which led us to call her Reester Bunny all day long.
We have a local grocery store close to our house which I have been frequenting since Hen was about a month old. We have made friends with two of the women who work there, Pam and Tina. We go visit them each week and they always shower Henry, and now Reese, with hugs and kisses and sometimes cookies! Tina invited us to her house for Easter and it was so fun. She had an amazing backyard with lots of toys and best of all she had hid tons of eggs for Henry to find! My favorite part of the day was when Tina was teaching Henry how to pump his legs when he swings. She also spoiled him with an easter basket and lots of love. We are very lucky to have such wonderful friends!

Sleeping Beauties...at the same time!!
Both kids are sleeping at the same time! Had to post this unbelievable moment. I guess this is what happens when one is sick and the other is just working on growing. Below is a picture of the sleeping beauties! I am not sure what to do...maybe something indulgent like making a grocery list!
out like a light in her crib. She got her reflux meds and is doing great!
Passed out while watching "Mighty Jungle" and singing along to the show!
Stomach flu is still hanging out with Henry but he gets better each day. We have been laying extremely low and watching lots of shows and reading books. We have even manged to go play out in the yard but Henry just doesn't last long when he is under the weather...so unlike him!
We got Reese a new swing and a black and white book she loves. She and Henry have been hanging out a bunch and he keeps telling her she is a nice baby and helps her when she is upset by getting her pacifier or reading her a book. He also wants to hold her all the time which has been tricky while he has been sick. Here are some pics.

Life's a Beach!
***added pictures to shutterfly site. Link on right side of this page.
We spent the past weekend and Bill's final days of paternity leave in Ocean Shores at the new beach house Grandpa Steve bought. It was so much fun. We relaxed, played at the beach, mad yummy food and even had the Hubert's join us at the end of the weekend. It was really hard to leave because it is such great house and the weather was beautiful for us. We look forward to many more long weekends.

Bill went back to work yesterday after 4 weeks of paternity leave...did I mention I love Microsoft for just that reason! It was amazing to have Bill home for so long and he is so helpful and such an amazing Dad that it was hard to have him go back!
Day one was great! We didn't manage to leave the house and head to the park despite all my efforts. Henry said it was too cold and refused to leave. This makes sense on Day 2 because we awoke with a sick vomiting 2.5 year old this morning, which makes me think he was feeling a bit yucky yesterday. So it has been an interesting day so far. Lets just say I am learning quickly how to care for two kids at one time.

Reese is growing fast and still being a perfect little baby. She is smiling at us a bunch and is super interested in staring at our faces. She still loves her nightly tubby and is the best snuggler! She, like her brother, has acid reflux so we are getting meds from the Doctor on Wednesday and she will be doing better soon! She is handling the reflux much better than Henry ever did and is still sleeping well at night giving me a 4-6 hour stretch!
Despite the sick sweet toddler I am loving being home with these two sweet kids. It is busy but I like it and feel tired and happy at the end of the day which is nice. I love that we never have a dull moment but it scares me that time is passing too quickly and they will be all grown up before I know it. Henry is up so duty calls....

Lots of Videos and Some Pictures
Here are some videos we have taken over the past couple weeks of Reese. She is a sweet little baby girl and has been slowly waking up and joining the party! I also uploaded some new pictures on the picture site, enjoy!
This video is one I took just to show how awake she had become but Reese accidentally chose it as a time to go to the bathroom!
Reese gets a tubby every night before bed and she loves it!!!!
This is what happens when Reese is trying to nap! Henry loves to jump, ignore me and be crazy!
This is my favorite yet! Henry helped give Reese a bath and she loved that he kept getting water in her mouth!
More of Henry bathing his sister. He was so proud that he got to do this!
Sweet Reese doing what she does best!
She's alive!!!
Henry refused his nap and played in his room for 2 hours...this happened 15 minutes after he "got up"
