Halloween is Here?!?!?!

It seems we're getting ready for Halloween a little early this year! We went to a yard sale on Saturday and picked up this unicorn costume for $5 for Claire! What a great find! So now everyone has to dress up all the time here. Jane loves to be Spidey! She gets the mask herself and puts it on!

Jane and Her Chocolate Pudding!

Do you think she's enjoying herself?!

We had a very Happy Easter and hope you all did too. The Easter Bunny called our house to tell Ethan and Claire about their Easter egg hunt, which they both enjoyed. Jane received her little baby doll for Easter and she goes everywhere Jane goes and doesn't let anyone touch her baby...ever. Jane particularly enjoyed "scrambles". She would scream w/ delight whenever we threw the candy in the air!

Jane and her Hat!

Jane likes to wear hats whenever she can get her hands on one. We often see her stumbling around the house w/ a hat pulled over her eyes. She laughs the entire time!

It's Been a Long Time....

Grandma Rae Ann made these hats for the kiddies. Jane wore her's around the house for several days.

I went out for groceries one day and came home to a lovely serenade!

This is Ethan and Claire's wedding photo. They were getting married and wanted their portrait captured to remember their big day! They are still not convinced that they will not be marrying each other. They have made a deal with each other that if Claire cannot find the husband she wants and if Ethan cannot find the right wife, then they will marry each other!

Well, it's been a long, long time since I have posted anything new. There are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, we were getting a high speed connection from our next door neighbours for $10/month, but our neighbours have moved, so we have dial-up again and it takes FOREVER to upload photos. Secondly, it seems like this has been a busy time with Dan's school applications being due, his having to fly to different interviews, and Alison going to CT to find a place to live and a school for Ethan and Claire. We are excited to be moving to CT in July and Dan is very excited to begin Yale's School of Management in the autumn.
Below are some recent photos of the kiddies. And finally, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL MOTHERS IN OUR LIVES. WE LOVE YOU.

I know it's a little late for a Christmas greeting, so think of it as a Christmas recap...better late than never, isn't that right?

Ice Skating

We went ice skating for the first time with the kiddies on Tuesday evening at the Gallivan Center. It was a perfect night for it...not too cold and no wind. Ethan and Claire loved it! I can hardly believe how they both took to it. Ethan was skating by himself, without holding onto the railing or anyone, by the end of the evening. Claire also liked to go around by herself, hanging onto the side. It goes down in history as one of my favourite nights.
