More Park Photos

I probably have twice as many as I am posting! Here are some more. Thomas was so happy when we finally let him out of his stroller.

Park Photos

I couldn't help taking photos at the park, on Jim's birthday.

Celebrations

Hello! Happy belated St. Patrick's Day! (Now that we know Jim has Irish blood in him, we are being more active in celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Neither of us really celebrated it, growing up.) We had quite a weekend. Margie lost her very first tooth on Friday, when her Aunt Anne was over. And she lost the second one on Monday. That was Margie's big news. The other news is, ****drumroll please**** Jim turned 40! He had the nicest birthday. The weather was beautiful. Laura, Mark, and their kids came over, to help celebrate. We were getting ready to walk to the park, when Michael showed up. After a good hour at the park, we came home to have Jim's Gimli cake and ice cream sundaes. Laura and family left, and Baba, Grandpa, and George came by (and Grandpa treated us to pizza). Everything was really nice, and Jim was very touched by all the cards and gifts people sent his way. (Nicholas came over the next day.) Here are some photos from his birthday:

Margie, the Mighty Shark

Here we are, exactly one month since we last posted. I tell you, we've just been going through cycles of sickness. Stomach flu, then colds, and now another round of colds. Not to mention, poor Thomas fell and hit his mouth on the table last night. He hit his upper gums and had a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, his teeth were fine and he didn't need stitches or anything. Speaking of teeth, Margie has some big news. She finally has some loose teeth! The bottom two are loose. And, we discovered, her two bottom adult teeth are already growing in, behind her baby teeth. So, she has two rows of teeth there. It looks so weird! Here is a photo of her, doing "beast":













Then, Freddie insisted I take a picture of his "mad face":












And here is Peter at his Pinewood Derby. His car finished in 4th place, within his den. That is not bad, considering the cars in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places were 100% dad built. He is sitting fourth from the left. His car is the black and white striped one. That is Margie watching on the far right, behind the barrier.
