Robby's ER visit. He knocked his head on a chair at Nana's and it was bleeding pretty good. So Nana went with us to the ER and they glued it back together. No stiches needed...Oh the joys of boys!

We went on lots of rides at Indiana Beach. Airplanes, cars, merry-go-round, bumper cars. It was a lot of fun till Robby got mad at Emma on the airplane ride.

Emma driving daddy around on the antique cars at Indiana Beach. We went on this ride 2 times it was a favorite!

We spent the day at Brookfield Zoo. Uncle Matt Aunt Katy and Nana went with us. We had so much fun. We saw lots of animals and Robby could not stop asking questions the entire day!

Brookfield Zoo

This year we bought a season pass to Brookfield Zoo. We are making plans to go at least one time a month. It is so much fun and always something new to see. Mom's favorite part of the zoo is watching you brush the goats.

House

The mixer trucks were at the dirt yesterday. Robby you could not have been more excited to see all of them. You screamed when you saw them and Emma said "Robby is screaming" I said "It's ok the boys in this car just get excited"! I am sure there will be more things to get excited about through this process.

Ouch!!!

Emma got her first sliver at the dirt pikee on Sat. She screamed as daddy tried to take it out. Today Robby got his first sliver. Both of yours were in your hands. I am not sure who cried more or louder but I am pretty sure it was Robby!

Emma

Tonight Emma you asked for "Butter with bread" for dinner. You must be a dutch girl! You love to butter your bread and spread it witha knife...

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we went to the Easter Egg Hunt in Beecher. We had our pictures taken wit the Easter Bunny. Robby and Emma were both scared of her bit Robby went first and got a picture. After we left Emma decided to come back and get her picture taken. At the egg hunt Emma's names was drawn for a basket she won. This was the first time something was not "fair" to you. We had tears but I know it will not be the last time something is not fair.

The weather is just starting to break. We are so excited for the snow to finally be completely gone today and we have gotten to play outside. Robby and Emma you are so, so muddy! You love riding your tractor and gator all over the yard. We can't wait for SPRING!

Today Robby realized that he will not be sharing a room with his sister for the first time. He thought since he was getting bunkbeds that they would be together. But I explained that they would each have their own room. Robby would have trains and Emma would have princesses. Robby siad "Emma can bring her princess stuff into my room". Awww...life as a twin I can not explain the bond.

Children's Museum

Today we met Ms. Kelly and Lola at the Children's museum in Frankfort for the morning. It was our first time there and we had a lot of fun! After we played all morning we ate at Choo choo Johnny's. Emma liked dressing up and being on the stage. Robby liked the legos and the playdough.

Robby and Emma you have been the best kids as mom and dad are so busy planning your new house. We are excited and I know that you are too. It takes a lot of time to get things together. A lot of phone calls and a lot of patience. We are looking foward to not spending so much time on the house plans and more time with you. Thanks for being great kids!

We have spent the last weeks reading and reading and reading for the library. You are both so excited as you get to pick out treats for reading so many books.
