Early Summer Fun

Today was of course a very hot North Carolina Day, and we indulged by getting and setting up a water slide/pool for the kids. They loved it and we loved watching them enjoy it!! William has also decided he is a super hero, and is dressing as one while running "super fast" and jumping off the couch, chair and basically anything he can find!!

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny in our house brought Crocs for Lillian and William, and they love them!! We had a wonderful day begining with Bill and Lillian attending Church on base, then breakfast and playing at a playground in Swansboro. We followed it up with some early summer fun (stay tuned for those pictures!!)

Quinlan 4 Months Old

Quinlan is just over 4 months old now, and is doing great! At his check up he was 14lbs 2oz and 25.5 inches long. He is in the 25% for weight, and the 75% for height!! He is trying to roll over, fully holding his head up and enjoying oatmeal and juice from a sippy cup!

Visit to New York

The first weekend of April we ventured home to NY for one of my very good friends baby showers, as well as an LeMoyne Alumni Board Meeting for Bill and of course to see Grandma and Grandpa. The kids fully enjoyed playing with Grandma's new puppy "Colby", and playing with both Grandma and Grandpa. We enjoyed the neighborhood Easter Party as well as seeing friends and family!

Quinlan End of March

Quinlan hit a few milestones at the end of March. On March 30th at 3.5 months Quinlan cut his first two teeth. His bottom front two teeth came through much to my suprise!! It barely phased him and he followed it by enjoying some rice cereal!!

Lillian celebrated her 5th birthday March 23rd; we all enjoyed a wonderful morning opening presents eating breakfast and then loaded everyone up to head to South Carolina for Bill's brothers graduation from Army Boot. Lillian was a super big girl sharing her big day and loved getting to see her Uncle Brian and as well as Bill's parents. After our very short trip to SC this past Saturday Lillian chose to have her family birthday dinner at a local Japanese restaurant (the kids devoured Miso Soup, sushi and shrimp and rice) we then let her use her Target Birthday Gift Card and she picked out 2 adorable dresses, a Hello Kitty umbrella along with some coloring and painting supplies! She truly felt like a big girl. Then on Sunday she had her birthday party at our local Gymnastics place. She and her friends (and brother) had a wonderful time bouncing around! I am amazed at what a big girl she is already and as sad as it is that she is getting older, (wiser) and bigger, everyday I am so lucky to be able to watch her grow!

I have uploaded many more pictures to our web site:

Fun Times With the O'Connors

A few weeks ago our dear friends the O'Connors (sans Rory) came to visit while Bill was at Fort Bragg training. Lillian and William had a great time running around with Kathryn and Aubrey and I enjoyed catching up and have adult conversation with Lindsay!!
