4 Month Check Up...

I'm really liking my fingers and my rattles these days!

Thank God for healthy children!!!
14 lbs 14 oz (50%)
25 inches long (50%)

This curve that boys are measured on verses girls, throws me for a loop. When the doctor told me Eli was only in the 50th percentile, I was a little shocked. I feel like a have a big baby, but apparently not! If I'm honest though, looking back at Addie's numbers at the same age, ol' girl outweighed him by over 2lbs and had a good inch on him. She was always in the 90th+percentile at her check ups during that first year. I guess she really is his big sister!

The Luck 'O the Irish...

Leprechaun Letters
I love that St Patrick's Day gives you an opportunity to be silly and dress silly... even if you're not Irish. A little leprechaun left Addie a bag full of magical foam that turned green and allowed for some spelling and artwork fun this morning.

Gearing Up For Nicaragua...


God willing, I will be heading back to Nicaragua this summer. I find out at the end of the month if my application is one that is accepted for the team... I can't wait! The above link for the church blog/on-line magazine. I was interviewed last month and it was published recently. The article is titled Mission Trips: Not Your Typical Vacation. Check it out!

Have you seen the movie, TWINS?

Starring Danny DeVito & Arnold Schwarzenegger
(James Fisher age 1 week & Elijah Stone 3+months)

February in Review...

My camera was accidentally left in Terre Haute for 3+ weeks... AHHH!!! It felt like a part of my body had been severed without my handy Canon in my hand. Me loves me ELEPH!

Addie, Eli & I hosted a Valentines Day party for our play group. Sixteen kids on a sugar high after being cooped up in their homes for a week due to the ice storm... Woozas, mama needs a drink! (It's now March 9th, and I still have yet to bring down the 9 foot red, pink & purple glittered holiday banner adorning my kitchen... tomorrow, tomorrow, it'll get done!)

Addie turned 4 1/2 and was given the royal treatment by Nana & Grampy. They decorated their house with banners and posters, had a pizza party and treated little miss to cupcakes and a new Repunzel doll.
Chris & April hosted a Super Bowl Party in honor of our boys in green & gold...
And our boys delivered! GO PACK!!!
