Happy Spring!

I think Mother Nature has been confused this month!  We had lots of cold, rainy Spring days; some 90 degree summer days and tomorrow is back to cold and wet.  Wherever you are I hope you are making the best of these crazy days.
Nathan
Our little man celebrated his first birthday in April.  To say time flies just does not do the sentiment justice.  He is well off the charts for height (the doctor even re-measured him because she did not think he could have grown that much), and 70% for weight.  He is not walking yet but he gets himself in plenty mischief crawling all around the house.

Erin
Our little girl celebrated her 4th birthday in April also. She is in the 90% for height so it is funny to see her towering over the boys in her class. She loves to play on the computer (she calls it the 'putier' and I do not correct her!), pretend she is a princess, and draw. She is a very independent spirit as you can see from the ballet photos - she is the only one doing her own thing!

First Haircut
Nathan had his first haircut in February. He was great! I did pretty well considering she changed my baby to a little boy.

Birthdays
Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE my birthday. Well, I think the kids are going to follow in my footsteps! Erin had a practice birthday when Dennis'mom was here, a celebration when my mom, dad, and sister were here, a party at school, cake at home, I took the kids swimming on her birthday, she had a pool party with her friends and then we had a great day with Nathan on his birthday. Her birthday is on April Fools and she would tell people "I am 12 today" and she kept getting older as the day went on - by the end of the month it felt like she should have been turning 12 we celebrated so much.

A little note about the parents of these kids!!
So, I ran a 10K in April. It was a lot of fun and neat to have Dennis and the kids out cheering for me for a change! Dennis is doing a 10 mile run in June and I have a 5K in May. Go Smiths!
