He and Lincoln have adjusted to each other and both are sleeping through the night. Can I just say that I LOVE SLEEP!!!

Elise
I don't seem to get as many pictures of Elise as I do of the younger boys.
Hopefully this is going to be our "Empty Tomb Easter Garden"...I'll post pictures if it turns out how it is supposed to.
She is really enjoying playing the piano. Here she's with Sammy, Lincoln and Johanna
We went to the Como Zoo & Conservatory a few weeks back. You wouldn't believe the weather we've been having! Sunny and in the 70s! I'll take it!

Sammy
Sammy just turned 6 years old!!
Never was a boy so excited! A few days earlier we went to the thrift store and found lots of goodies for him. I even scored a bike off of freecycle a few months ago, and after Stephen pumped up the tires it was good to go. I love how exciting birthdays are--just knowing that it is YOUR day makes even the most mundane things fun. Sammy got to choose his birthday dinner, and he chose baked veggies--specifically asparagus, potatoes and yams with homemade bread, butter and jam, "Because I wanted to choose something good for my body."
Sammy is such an incredible helper with Trevor. When I ask him to help he never deserts his post until I relieve him--even if Trevor is fussy and won't be happy.

Mason

How Mason cleans his room...
Meet Cassini, the spacecraft currently orbiting Saturn (notice Saturn on the table next to him? When the orange started to stink and drip juice I made him throw it out.). Mason is determined that he is going to create spacecraft using tinfoil and cardboard and then sell them based on their size. He has also made a model of the Messenger, the spacecraft orbiting Mercury. I'm not quite sure who is going to buy these incredible works of art...I'm not sure a "Spacecraft Stand" would do quite as well as a lemonade stand...but I did just buy him his own roll of tin foil, and you have never seen such a grateful boy!
He took off his front wheel after it finally popped...
And perhaps what makes me the most excited: He has discovered books! Not just product manuals, but STORY books! Hooray! He just finished "The Last Battle" in The Chronicles of Narnia.
