Everything Changes


Bella likes to have one toy for her mouth and another for each hand


A few of Gabi's classmates left her school; Kira because she was accepted into the public preschool, and Kate because her family moved to South Carolina. Two new classmates replaced Gabi's old friends. Evan actually joined their class before Kira and Kate left. Next year, Gabi will have a completely new school in Little Rock with all new friends.

Jennifer (Daddy's coworker) and Tom go to church with us at IHM, but since our building is under construction, they were married at the Cathedral. Tom is a fireman, so they had a firetruck outside the church, waiting to drive them to the reception. What an entrance that was!

A Firetruck Wedding!


All smiles at the wedding


Where's Gabi?


Peek-a-boo!


We rented a pod to store our excess stuff while we have the house on the market. In addition to clearing out more room for showing the house, this also prompted us to get organized and start packing. Moving sure does take a lot of preparation, but it's nice to finally have those unopened boxes from college unpacked and sorted so we can reclaim closet space.


Packing the pod to the max


And some other pictures from mid-April:

Bella loves to flip upside down

We don't give Annabelle a bottle very often, but she takes it easily when we do. She can even hold the bottle herself, despite a lack of opportunity to practice. When Annabelle caught a stomach bug and couldn't even tolerate breastmilk, we bought a pediatric electrolyte drink to rehydrate her. Once we had all recovered, I let the girls finish off the Pedialyte after a day outside in the heat (afterall, it's essentially Gatorade without excess sugar). Both girls enjoyed that special treat.


Gabi tried to drink while lying on the pillow like Bella does.
(It didn't work out as well for her... Something about gravity and liquids...)
