Catching up... our week...

Catching up... last week...

We had a fairly low key week. Jackson had a sore throat starting on Tuesday, and he is just now really feeling back to himself! Thank Goodness... it's so hard when Jack or Maggie are sick. I feel so awful for them, and just want them to feel better and SOON!!!

Poor Sick Boy!

So glad he is feeling so much better!!!

Needless to say, we were very happy when he began to act like his silly self again, and incredibly thankful that no one else in the house got it. We hope and pray that it doesn't sneak up on anyone else!

Can you tell he's feeling MUCH better???

For some reason, Mommy & Daddy's room -

mainly our bed, has become a super fun play spot for Jack and Maggs!!!

... and it usually always involves a lot of bouncing, pillows being flung, and hysterically laughing.

Hard to say "No!" to that!

Miss Maggs coming to see what is going on!!!

Must look fun!

The sweetest smile!

Cutie Maggie last Saturday out to lunch with Mommy, Daddy and Jackson!

... and the next day

BREAKFAST TIME!!!

Maggie loves breakfast... such a happy girl!

Jackson also loves breakfast... and showing off all of his "faces"...

above is "scary" Jackson...

"scared" Jackson

"happy" Jackson

and super "silly" Jackson

ps. "Happy" and "Silly" Jackson are my two favorites, but sometimes "scary" or "surprised" Jackson faces cannot stop me from laughing hysterically... which gets J laughing too!!! Such a funny guy we have!!!

We did wear our Green on St. Patrick's Day... but, other than that, we didn't celebrate much. St. Patty's Day is the one holiday that I am just not that in to. I did have fun looking back on these photos...

Jackson's 1st St. Patrick's Day, 2008 - he was ALMOST 4 months old!!!

What a cutie!!! Remember that hair? :p

Maggie's 1st St. Patrick's Day, 2010 - She was a little OVER 8 months old!!!

What a SWEETIE!!!

note: yes, they are wearing the SAME outfit. so, yes... Jack wore it at almost 4 months old, and Maggie was able to fit into it when she was over 8 months old!!! HA! Definitely shows what a big strong boy we have, and a sweet little petite girl!!!

Maggie and I had some fun while sick Jack :( was resting... this included Maggie wearing Jack's hat forever, refusing to take it off, and when she did... she was.not.happy.

She also had a lot of fun playing with all of her Big Brother's toys...

shhh... don't tell Jack. :)

So, St. Patty's Day has passed, and now I have officially started decorating for Easter!

So.Much.Fun!!!

Jack and Maggie have been great little helpers, and I'll be sure to capture some photos once we are all finished with the Easter Decor! :)

This is one idea for an Easter card from Miss Maggs... I've also made one from Jackson, but can't seem to find it (argh!!!) -

but... think I'll pass on these ones...

...as we are getting the kiddos photos taken by the fabulous Marie Pham (mariephamphotography.com) in one of her amazing Easter "mini sessions"... and although they will be a surprise for you all to see... I'll share a fun little hint... there will be baby bunnies involved (and no, I'm not talking about my munchkins, actually real live bunnies!!!)!!!! Can you tell I'm uber excited???? :p

Maggie had an appointment this past week with the Pediatric Orthopedist. Dr. Montgomery was incredibly pleased with Maggie's HUGE progress from when she had seen her about 4 months ago! Maggie was sure to show off for Dr. Montgomery... showing her how fast she could run, how she can stand on her tippy toes and try and jump! So, we won't have to see Dr. Montgomery for a while... not until Maggie is ready for a new pair of "cricuts" (her insoles)... which will probably be a while! We are so excited to have Maggie just charging forward (literally) and needing less and less help (as in Doctors, etc.) when it comes to her walking! She is definitely a walking girl... and nothing is stopping her now!!!

Maggie "visiting" Dr. Montgomery... and having a lot of fun with the "twirly" chair :)

Last Sunday (a week ago) we were so happy to have Brian's Aunt and Uncle over for dinner. They are in the process of moving from Southern California to Vancouver, WA!!! We could not be more thrilled to have them close by! And, not only are they coming, but they are also moving Brian's Grandparents up to Vancouver, as well. Brian's Grandmother and Grandfather will be living in an Assisted Living Facility in Vancouver - and Uncle Bruce and Aunt Karin will be purchasing a home close by. They have put in an offer for a home, and we are all keeping our fingers crossed that they hear good news soon!

We had a wonderful time catching up and visiting with them both. Jack and Maggie LOVED having them... and of course, entertained them and showed them all of their "tricks"!!!
