Smile!!

I am a picture person. I love taking pictures, especially of my kids. I have tons of pictures of Aynsli, and hope to have as many of Emalie, although I am already behind. I was able to get some great pictures of the girls through a friend of my brother who is trying to get her professional photographer career started. The girls were her first photo shoot, and I think she did a good job. Some of the pictures turned out great! I hope to add some of the others later...

Tulip Festival

We went to the Tulip Festival today at Thanksgiving Point Gardens. That was the first time we had been there, and it was a great time. It is 55 acres of gorgeous gardens and even though it snowed quite a bit yesterday, most of the flowers were still in pretty good shape. They have a Children's Garden, where the kids really enjoyed playing, and had a good time. I am sure that we will visit there often.

Doctor Aynsli

I knew that we had been spending a lot of time at the doctor's office lately, but I didn't realize how much until just a little while ago. We were up on the bed, and Aynsli says, Mom, I am doctor Aynsli--Let me check your heart. She proceeds to do all the actions of removing the stethescope from around her neck, placing it on my chest to check my heart, and then on my back to check my lungs. She then took my blood pressure, with cuff wrapping and bulb squeezing action. She checked my ears, and then said I was sick, and let me get you a sucker. She is such a smart cookie, and this was just a reminder that we have definitely reached the very impressionable age where we have to be so careful what we say and do, because we have an echo and a mimic in our midst. She is so funny some times. Last week we were up at Grandma's, and she said, Mom, my throat has a headache. Only Aynsi could come up with something so cute!
