warm days and night

it has finally happened
naked baby season!
we have had two days in the high 80's which has been wonderful and refreshing
no more coats, long underwear, sweaters, scarves...you get the picture
okay so i know you don't want to read the weather report but you are wondering how is the crazy house of diapers doing?
MADNESS
no actually everything is going well just felt like being a little dramatic
meow meow is running around chasing after sadie which just starts the laughing
silas is busy talking about things not sure exactly what he is talking about but he does love the song etsy bitsy spider
we had a wonderful trip to ithaca
ate lots of tofu and ran around in the sunshine
sadie and i got up early one morning and took a walk in the woods
sadie loves to pet moss "i like" "soft"
we also meet a bunch of baby lambs from a near by farm, ate at moosewood resturaunt were she became slathered in buttered noodles thus becoming "butter head"
which is also the name of rusty and aaron's new psychedelic rock band
this is my first week back at work full time so far all is going well
enough chit chat for now
enjoy the pictures

meow meow and many more happy days

oh so so much has happened
first cleveland got sunshine for two days straight!
second sadie and silas got grandpa for two days straight!
third sadie and mommy got a kitten! (named meow meow)
fourth we are going to see our buddies this weekend in ithaca!
fifth have not thought of one but i am sure there is one
we had a wonderful weekend with grandpa
sadie made him bounce, hop, dance, and fly
silas napped
aaron received shrubbery advice.....and i think we are ready for a hemlock
sadie helped grandpa and aaron plant pansies and her little marigold
this girl LOVES dirt other wise known as soil
silas is become very talkative
he slept for 8 hours the other night which was incredible and the nicest b-day present a mom could ask for
its hard to think of what to write b/c so many fun things have happened......so i will just give you pictures and movies to show you all
sadie though is getting very involved in house chores especially washing dishes and changing silas's diaper
silas is smiling lots and is not sleeping ALL day anymore he sleeps about half the day so instead of 20 hours maybe he sleeps 16 hours........
so we get to see his blue eyes wide and alert a little longer
until later enjoy the movies and the pictures.....

who is the easter bunny?

all is becoming green in cleveland
that means the bulbs are up and our lilac tree has buds
that also means we did not have to go snow diving to find easter eggs
we had a fun easter weekend
we went to our friends farm "the rosby farm" to not pick raspberries but eggs!
sadie got 5 eggs with stickers and toys she also ate lots and lots of cookies
and force feed daddy peeps
so lets just say we were a car full of over sugared kids by the time we got home and ALL of us except silas who slept through the entire hunt were fast asleep
we got a big weekend planned
grandpa b will be in town which means once again sadie has a playmate to run run run with her
we have lots and lots of activities planned
be warned grandpa......be very very warned
sadie has grown up so much in the last few weeks
she now helps me wash dishes and she is actually really good at it
she also helps set the table, cook dinner, her favorite is putting out all the condiments even if we don't need any for dinner she thinks the lime juice and capers are always a good and proper thing to adorn the table
silas still sleeps like 20 hours a day
he wakes up for a period to talk in the morning and than he likes to vocalize his day of sleeping as soon as we sit down to eat
i think it is a mental program in all babies parents must not eat
it still amazes me how different sadie and silas are
he is smiling and laughing a lot
especially when he sees either aaron or i do something stupid so in that way he is just like his sister
anyways i think that is all for now.....
and just to keep you updated on the house we have once again big plans for the summer:
new front porch steps, a rail for the stairs, straighten the lean toooooo (garage), garden, nap in the sun, get a kitten okay so these aren't house projects.....put a ceiling in the kitchen and dining room!!!
maybe if we are really lucky finish the bathroom but who knows with two kids life does slow down a little
