Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Today the kids and I took advantage of a brief break in the rain and a beautiful burst of sunshine... a BIKE RIDE!!!!! Well, a walk and stroller push for me, but Nyla and Azul really enjoyed the bike ride after being couped up in the house for several days due to the constant rain showers we have been having. We are all ready for Spring around here, Nyla constantly ask me how many more weeks till Spring arrives.. March 20th I tell her over and over and over again.... 4 year olds.

The weather was so beautiful for a short while this afternoon... the sun warmth felt incredible and the breeze was just perfect, not too strong. It actually lulled Emil off to sleep for more than an hour. I thank the Lord for that little break... makes being home for a week alone with the kids indoors a little easier to handle.

Emil Sits Up!

Our baby boy is just growing so fast and changing so very much. He is now eating food (I make it from scratch... no jar stuff!) and he has 1 1/2 teeth on the bottom.. still waiting for one to come in fully. Emil is not trying to stay a baby for long.. he is definitely ready to move and shake with his big brother and sister. Two days ago, Emil started sitting up unassisted! I was blown back because he just DID IT! When he teeters and totters he will put his hand down flat to stop his fall and push himself back up. Other times (especially when he is holding a toy) he just gives in and hits the ground! Very funny.

Check out this video of Emil in action.

Honey Dos

My hubby is becoming very handy at household repairs. We were in dire need of a new water heater... our old one came original with the house (1964!!!!) and started leaking badly. Mill was wary about removing and replacing it himself due to the gas lines involved but when the handy man we hired was a no-show, Mill went to work and it was a success. He is so smart and strong... hoisted that 50 gallon water heater alone! Gotta love my man.
