Addison has lost more teeth!

Addison has lost another tooth in the front! We were joking with her that she can fit a straw in her mouth in the new gap where her teeth used to be. She looks to have a new tooth coming in where the old one was, so she won't have the gap for too long.

We drained the pool!

In order to prep our pool for the summer this year, we had to drain it in order to get all of the debris out from the bottom of the deep end. We rented a submersible pump with a hose that extended out of the pool and down the driveway. All of the kiddos thought this was the coolest thing, especially Addison. They both went in it when we had it drained right before we had to fill it up again. It took about half a day to drain it and a full day to fill it again. Hopefully we will not have to do this again as it was a lot of work.

Nicholas's First Birthday

Nicholas was not feeling well for his first birthday bash. He had a double ear infection and was very tired for most of the day. He was still smiling some, but was not his usual happy self. His sisters enjoyed "helping" him open his presents while he took a nap, especially Kara. He received some much needed clothes and also some great toys that his sisters helped test out for him that day. It was great to see everyone, and hopefully Nicholas will be feeling better the next time he has a large audience.

Addison's Super Kids Day at School

Addison had this big outdoor event where they participated in activities like riding scooters, doing a hamster wheel race, and other team events at different stations around the schoolyard. She had a lot of fun at it even though they did not get to finish all of the events. She was a little upset about this as she wanted to do everything. The event was supposed to last 30 minutes longer than it did, and I suspect that all of the teachers just wanted to get out of there earlier and ended it sooner on purpose.
