In March my Aunt Barb, and cousin Jenni came from MI to visit for a weekend. We love their visits each year and miss living so far away from each other. Here are a couple pictures of Jonas and Ivy with Auntie Barb and Cousin Ginnie, as Jonas would say. :-)
Ivy is growing so fast. She is 5 months old tomorrow. She has been a very unpredictable child, much different than Jonas. However, we now know part of the reason. She got her first tooth at 4 months and 1 week. Then her second came one week later. We had her sleeping through the night and then chaos occured with her sleeping pattern. I feel sorry that she is experiencing the pain so young and she seems like she is in such agony at times. I look forward to uninterrupted nights again.
Jonas is almost 3 and he knows it. He keeps talking about having a birthday party on July 3rd and he has requested fireworks. :-) We have been to a few birthday parties recently and he is remembering the fun. However, non had fireworks. He must think he should outdo everyone.
We'll see what daddy says....

Ivy-almost 5 mos.

The cutest kids in the world :-)

She is her daddy...

Here is another outfit my mom saved back for me. I was a little older in the pictures take of me than these of Ivy. You can tell the dress is a little bigger on Ivy. Its fun to compare our pictures. She doesn't look a whole lot like me. She is a whole lot of her daddy! :-)
I just realized we have about the same amount of hair in these pictures. You can't really tell with Ivy's headband on. And her hair is so blond right now!
