Growing Like Weeds!

The kids are growing SOOOO fast!  Here is a picture update on them and what we have been up to lately.
The kids this time last year.
See how much they've grown in a year!

Our family at Easter (Luke was so tired from church)

Luke had his first haircut recently. It was getting a bit long in the back and around his ears.  He sat in the chair all by himself like such a big boy!

Our friend Terri was so patient with Luke and did such a great job.  I was proud of how well Luke did too!  I never dreamed he would have his first haircut before Abigail ever had hers.  I am trying to talk her into letting Mrs. Terri just even her hair up in the back.  She is not sure about the whole thing just yet.  She LOVES her long hair and is worried it will be too short after cutting it
Look how cute Luke looks with a "Big Boy" haircut! 
 We made our first trip of the season to the pool last week.  The water was pretty cold, but the kids still enjoyed themselves.  We plan to spend a lot of time there this summer to survive the Mississippi summer.
Luke was content to mostly watch everyone else and splash around a bit in the shallow water.

Abigail, on the other hand, wanted to repeatedly jump in the deep end.  I am thinking the pool will be a great way to wear her out this summer. 

 We have been spending a good bit of time outside over the past few weeks.  The weather has been really nice, so we are taking advantage of it.  We spent a fun morning at the zoo recently and have just been enjoying the backyard and neighborhood most afternoons.  Temperatures reached 90 a couple times this week and I started dreading the days coming when it will be a good 10 to 15 degrees warmer than that.




Coming soon - Abigail's first dance recital!  Here is a preview of the pretty girl in her costume.  She is SO excited!  More pictures and details to come after the recital next weekend.
