The many faces of John...

My Front Door

My front door is OPEN!!! This means a.) The sun is shining and I can't bear to stare at that closed dark door any longer, and b.) In keeping with fickle frozen tundra weather, it is unseasonably warm here. So I'm not freezing my children or spiking the heating bill by indulging in some bright afternoon sun.
The kids have been taking full advantage of the nice weather and have been spending their afternoons playing, outside. Woo Hoo!!! (Now if I can just keep them off the grass... It's SO muddy out there!!)

The kids are a little rusty with their biking skills, but before long they will be confident enough for us to go on a nice family ride.
The kids have been re-discovering their outside toys that they haven't played with all winter!It's funny to see the kids outside, complaining their coats are making them too warm. All while standing beside a snowdrift...Enterprising Lilia decided there were easier ways of getting her "bike" to move than actually riding it.And lest we all get too accustomed to this nice weather, let me draw your attention to how it looked in March 2007...

So Beautiful

Lilia just cracks me up. I was getting ready this morning and she wanders in. She starts handing me my clothes and says:

"Try dis one!!!" (try this one) So I put on what she's handing me...

"Ohhhhh!! Beuweeeful Momma! Dat's so Beuweeeful!" (Oh! Beautiful Mom! That's so beautiful!) Then she wanders off, but comes right back and pops her head in the bathroom, "I mean it Momma! So pity!!!" ( I mean it Mom! So pretty!)

What a great start to my day. :)

'Tis the Season!

Nope, not Christmas. In the Wolfe family we have the Birthday Season. It's the time of year, right after Christmas, when all the kids birthdays start to arrive. This week it was Isabelle's birthday. Her Mom had a cute Rainbow themed party for her tonight. A fun time was had by all.

The night started off with a rousing balloon bounce. (Truly, all kids need to be entertained are some balloons and a cardboard box, preferably the refrigerator sized)

Then after some yummy pizza there was the gift opening.
Gpa, Lilia, and Caleb were especially enthralled with this part. :)Then of course, the rainbow cake, complete with handmade decorations by Isabelle. Lastly a photo-op wall for some great pictures:

Here are some of the cousins, it's hard to get ALL of them in one picture anymore!
Can they be any cuter!!!

Well kind of... more of the un-eventful everyday existence at our house. One guess what Mike is doing here...

Happy Birthday to You!

I can't believe it but Caleb is 3 months old today! I told Sofie this morning that 3 months ago we were in the hospital having Caleb and she said, "No Mom! 3 YEARS ago!" It does seem like he's been here the whole time. Yet, some days I'm still shocked and excited that I'm not pregnant anymore.

He's just growing so fast! (Literally) He gets so excited to see his sisters and brother. Those arms and legs just a whirl and jive when any of them are around. He has just discovered his hands and has started to reach and (try) to grab anything in close proximity. He's been sleeping through the night these last couple of weeks and is turning out to be a really easy baby. For example, before writing this blog post I laid him down for his nap in his bassinet. Fully awake. He fussed for just a couple of minutes. Truly, just fussing, no actual wail or cry. And now he's asleep. Man, if all my babies were like this... :)
