what happens when there are three??


These two beautiful girls keep me busy and my arms full. I love it! However, I feel so behind with some things lately. That's life, I suppose.... never truly caught up but always learning to prioritize.

More Tulip Festival

We ventured out to the Tulip Festival again with my mom (at the end of April). This time it was far less muddy but a bit windier. The highlight of the trip for Seoul was the cow train. We love making memories with Grandma!

Our Silly Seoul

Disclaimer: If you've seen this post already, sorry. Blogger is being funky at night and I'm pretty sure this posted already but I just looked this afternoon and it didn't show up on the blog for some reason... (or just call me nuts!)

Here are some more miscellaneous pictures! Enjoy   Smile

Two high fives for no rain and playing outside!

Looking a little too big for this… maybe it’s time to move on to a real bike…?

Making friends with the Uncle David & Aunt Ashley’s new little puppy.

Cleaning up after Daddy makes a mess outside doing yard work. “Don’t walk here!” she says.

Favorite outside / park activity: swinging.

A little melancholy that Sydney doesn’t share her love of driving (Sydney was crying in all the other pictures).

Seoul’s lovely hairstyle… can’t beat when she does it herself!

As she says, “I’m so beautiful!”

We love this little girl SO MUCH! As she asserts her independence we can’t help but love her more. She’s pretty much the smartest girl ever (in our opinion, of course) – she counts, she recites books & rhymes, she knows her alphabet, and surprises us every day with new phrases and facts. Her memory is unbeatable – she reminds us of events that happened months ago – and if you mention it once, you better follow through or she will not let you forget! It’s good times with Seoul and we’re so glad she’s our little girl!

Sydney is 4 (months) already!!

Oh wow - our Princess Peach is 4-months old today. My, how time does fly! We love our little girl and she brings so much joy to our lives.


As Kelley says, "This is classic Sydney!"


These days Sydney:
coos & talks
prefers to stand rather than sit
likes to be held facing outward so she can be social
screams bloody murder when she wants/needs something
grabs things
sleeps in the crib
chews on her fingers
sleeps without being swaddled
loves to watch her sister








Sydney's 4-month stats from her doctor appointment today:
Length: 25-1/4 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs 9 oz (90th percentile)
Head: 16-1/2 inches (75th percentile)

I think she scared Dr Palmer with her screaming!

Our beautiful girl that we love so much! We are so blessed!



Easter Weekend

It is SO much fun to have a kid that participates in holiday events now. Seoul really got into the Easter spirit, but of course didn’t hesitate to remind us that she DOES NOT LIKE THE EASTER BUNNY! You will see the reason in the pictures if you have somehow forgotten last year’s picture. Somehow holidays turn into weekend events instead of a one day affair.
