Tessa Convinces Us

Justin was taking some kids to the Liturgy of Good Friday and we were not all going because Tessa is a nuisance even not way past bedtime. But some kids were going and she wanted to join! She tried to convince us she'd be a delight

Tiny Friends

Max looks almost as big as Tessa, who is still delighted to be the big sister

Last night

Tessa has her snappy jammies and she likes pictures with them

And Nora! She's coming to Holy Thursday Mass, wish us luck!

4 months

He weighs 13lb 14oz

He loves to kick and vocalize, giggles and smiles, won't sleep in the crib, and is a joy for all of us.

New furniture

We got couches and Tessa is a fan

They're good for reading on too

Tessa Makes a Friend

Jumperoo

Look who's so big!

He can suck his thumb

But prefers the whole hand

Perot

We did a lot of fun things at the museum but didn't get many pictures 

Tessa Games

Tessa likes to play games. Here I started putting pieces in too but then she just took over

Playing outside

James took my phone

Haircut

Lucy's hair had gotten long, and easily tangled

We tried a ponytail

But she didn't like it. She said we should cut it. I did a couple inches by she said she wanted even shorter, and this is what we got. She loves it!

Also, it's spring here now 

Outside

It's so nice out, and Max likes it. Also, that pretty baby on the screen!

Playing outside

Sure, it's 85°, but going outside and staying outside are impossible. Just ask

But at the park, it was fine 

Nora’s ride

Justin took Nora on a hike. She got the best seat

Lucy’s recital

Today was Lucy's last dance class and they did a recital

She was so proud and excited

Only three girls were in her class today (spring break plus sickness I think)

They danced to several songs, but this one is my favorite. It uses the ballet motions she likes so much

This was her favorite and the boys' favorite

Charlie on vacation

Did you wonder if Charlie came?

He did! He got a science lesson. There was fire.

He and Max rode the plane.

And he went sledding.

People Max cuddled

Kelsey and Lisa 

Grandpa came!

And grandma too!

Vacation

Max and Charlie and I are visiting Aunt Kelsey. Max was not totally sure about the plane but also he was tired.

Then we arrived and saw baby's first snow!

Oh and aunt Kelsey too

Helpful sister

The mobile turned off, Tessa to the rescue!
