It's been a while...

It's been quite a while since I've taken the time to make a post, and I got some ambition tonight which is pretty rare these days! The first few pictures are of the kids on Easter. Man, it's hard to get good pictures of 2 one-year olds! Grady and Ella have loved the good weather recently. They are definitely outdoor kids! They like to take rides in the wagon they got for their birthday.
The pictures at the end were from last night and the newest addition to our household...........no, not a new baby, but the froggy potty! As we are preparing to start buying diapers for not one, two, but THREE "babies" we decided we want Grady and Ella to start being interested in using the big kid potty! I think the frog is kind of goofy myself, but honestly it was one of the cheapest potty chairs I found, so I got it :)


This picture cracks me up. Ella loves to read to herself. She looks just like a grown up enjoying a good book on a spring day! Grady on the other hand is probably trying to figure out an escape route out of the wagon to get into some mischief.


He's such a little man!




Ta-Da! This is Grady's favorite pose to strike after he accomplishes something cool.....or just wants attention. (Yes, Ella is still reading.)

Little Miss Curly

This is a fun chair, but I have no idea what it's for!
Looks like we might be doing some business.......but she didn't.


Here.....let me help you
*On a final note, the count down is on. I'm officially due in one week. A lot of emotions going on in this house right now with exhaustion from being pregnant, taking care of a couple very active twins, and preparing to be a family of five! Ready or not, it will happen soon. I'm definitely ready for non-pregnant life again, and we're excited to meet this new addition. I've enjoyed watching the boy/girl poll.....so if you haven't voted, make your guess and we'll find out soon :)

Wow... I didn't realize the twins have red hair, it's definitely more red than Emily's.

Can't wait to met the next beautiful Mulligan baby! We're praying for you!
