Whoa-ho!!


Here is an attention-getter.
Seen from one of my favorite angles--usually my only angle. And yes I am leaning forward a lot so I can see my toes. After confirming how many weeks along I am, the doctor told me I have a "good sized" baby. I'm thinking on the bright side. I'm going to believe that just means they were wrong on the due date and she'll probably be coming earlier! I can hope right?

Last week was VEISHEA at ISU, and Saturday was the parade! We met some friends there and watched together, then made Thai food afterward. It was a great day. The weather was perfect for parade watching--or just being outside. Not too hot, and not too cold! (Although it must have been a lot sunnier than I thought because we all got sunburned noses and cheeks.)
Anne is becoming really good at gathering candy. She and Ruby accumulated an impressive number of tootsie rolls. I like it that Anne is still a little nervous to just run more than a few steps out into the street to get the candy. She always made Randy go with her.

Ruby was pretty funny too. She couldn't stand to have empty hands. Dad was in charge of holding the candy bag and it took a lot of convincing to get Ruby to go make deposits. Her hands were too full to pick up more candy more often than not. When she did put the candy in the bag she always kept at least one piece. She ate so much candy!
After the parade we saw some tractors and the girls climbed on them for a while.


Anne has been practicing her bike-riding so she can show the grandmas and grandpas when they visit.
I know, it is hard to believe I'm only 32 weeks... and that I can still stand upright. Whoa-ho, right?

Easter and Art

Happy Late Easter!


It was fun to have grandma and grandpa Griffiths over this year! This morning Anne was still asking for Grandma.

We did the egg hunt at a park this year. It made for a much better egg hunt.




We went to see the baby horses at the university Easter morning.

Anne's art has been getting very good. A few months ago she started drawing people: 1- draw circle for head, 2-draw eyes (now with eyeballs but they started as swirls), 3-draw arms from middle of head (but now arms have been replaced by earrings), 6-draw lines from bottom of head for legs, 5-add lines above head for hair, 6-girls get eyelashes.


Anne did this today. Do you see the smile and the three eyes (blue, green, yellow)? (earrings, not arms)
