Can't believe its been almost a month!!

It is truly crazy how fast time goes when you have kids!! It has been a crazy month too! We all(except Phil, lucky dog :) were sick with a nasty cold for a LONG time! We didn't do much except for stay home and play outside because it has been absolutely beautiful outside!! Now that we are feeling better I have/had a lot to get caught up on...housework, projects(still WAY behind) and a few other things around the house!

Isabelle shortly after the last blog started walking behind stuff...she LOVES that! However quite a bit different from her brother who was walking and running on his own at 11 months! I'm quite okay with her not walking....one less kiddo to chase after. Her new favorite word is "Dadda". I can not believe we NEED to start planning her first birthday(tear) which now is in less than a month.

Here is some pictures of the little lady pushing some toys around at a play date we had with Kacie W

She is not such a baby any more!

Lawrence pushing his little girl friend Allison Werkema

Also in the past week Jo(Neff) came out with her son Evan, it is wonderful to see them again, but not wonderful on the circumstances for her coming out. This past Wednesday my good friend Sandee lost her dad unexpectedly. We pray for them that they may be comforted in this time! On Thursday we spent the day with Sandee at her house with the two little ones they were a great "distraction" You can clearly see why...

Currently we are very busy with two little dutch people :-) I LOVE to take pictures of the kids dressed up downtown Holland during Tulip Time! I will have to do a separate blog for that! TONS and I mean tons of pictures. We went Friday before the official start mostly because it has been pretty warm and the tulips are not going to be pretty for much longer. Then Saturday we went again Saturday night (this time without costumes) to watch the fire works...we got a little wet but the look on both their faces when they watched it was worth it!! Monday we dressed them up and went again(I know ridiculous) and watched the dutch dancing. Lawrence LOVED it and "danced" right along, it was SO cute. Now today(Tuesday) I wanted and have never been to "Windmill Island"(it was SUCH a beautiful day) The kids were of course dressed up :-) and were a HUGE hit with the tourists!! Can't wait to get all my pictures of the week together(at the end of the week)! Just a warning my next blog might be picture overload!!
