THE SUN IS SHINING!

With the weather being so incredibly beautiful, we decided that Spike deserved a venture outside. She is suffering from Spring fever inside her aquarium and has been trying to escape for the past three days, so we thought we would give her a go! Is it possible that she is truly a city-turtle and hasn't been outside before? Brian, Erica, comment.....
This little turtle was left loose (under strict supervision), and she sat on the front porch with only her head poking out of her shell for quite a few minutes. THEN, this is so funny, she literally walked on the sidewalk!! She would NOT leave the perimeters of the sidewalk! CITY TURTLE!
Eventually, she managed to muster enough courage to try the road less traveled. She was unsure, but once she was comfortable, she was FAST! It was time to call it a day, and she willingly accepted her indoor home .....until today, when she tried to escape yet AGAIN!




Well, baseball season has begun! This is Ayden up to bat. He nailed it , unfortunately the second baseman was quick, and was able to get him out at first:( What a great a sport, though...he kept up a great attitude throughout the whole game! Too bad, his Mommy is an over protective mess.... As Ayden hits the ball, is it bad to whisper to myself (directing my thoughts to the other team....of seven year olds?!!) ,"Drop it, miss it, overthrow!" What is wrong with me? All of these thoughts just so my baby can make it to first base? Yeah, motherhood definitely brings out the best in us!


Speaking of my babies....My little girl is now officially a jack-o-lantern!! She lost her other front tooth on Friday! Again, she pulled the thing right out of her mouth, all by herself!! Where Ayden was self-consious without front teeth, Claire is genuinely proud!! She smiles at everyone, hoping they will notice her fashionably toothless smile:)
