Getting Ready for Easter!

We've gone from 82 degrees last Monday to 15 degrees this morning. I'm worried that my beloved peonies, that are already three inches high, will be damaged by the cold. Hopefully not and we'll have some beautiful blooms in a couple of months.

Louie and Emily sure are changing. Lou has gone from crawling with a limp last week to the real thing and fast. He can get from Emily's room to the dog dish in about 15 seconds and that seems to be his primary destination at all times!

We went to the hospital on Saturday morning to meet Emily and Louie's new cousin. Rebecca Ann was born early Friday morning. She has so much hair! Becca weighed in at 10 pounds, 2 ounces and 22 inches! The same size as Louie was at birth. She's a cute little girl. . . We didn't take any pictures though?? When we got home from the hospital, Lou showed us his new trick. He can pull himself up on his knees next to stuff. He's trying so hard to stand, but just can't do it. After his nap, he was up on his knees at the side of his crib, guess we have to lower the mattress all the way down. He's much more ambitious than his sister ever was and can't seem to stay in one place for very long.
We'll see what the future brings. He and Emily are having so much fun together. They're really good at making the other laugh.
Emily's really talking up a storm now. She was standing at the front door, looking across the street saying "Hi Care (claire)! Bye Care!" She LOVES to see the two girls across the street, Claire and Cathryn. Emily thinks Cathryn is so silly.
She's also very ''arful" lately when she's drinking her milk. We've been working very hard to get rid of the sippy cup before Louie's got one. So far, so good. She's very "areful" when drinking her milk.
