Piano Recital
As I mentioned in my previous post, Lilly had a piano recital last night. She did such a GREAT job, as did her fellow piano students. I was very impressed at how well they all performed and played their pieces from memory. We also enjoyed a pot luck before the recital with the other students and parents and over all had a very lovely evening.
The students that performed
Lilly and her teacher Mrs. Christensen
[[[[This is the spot where the video of Lilly playing is suppose to be. For some reason it's not wanting to upload. The last time I tried I let it sit here for over an hour. Not sure what the problem is but hopefully later I can get it on here.]]]]

A Whole Month?
Has it really been a whole month since my last post? Time sure flys by when you have little ones running and CRAWLING around! Yes you read that right, Samuel is crawling now. On Valentines day he started doing this belly hop thing and a few days later he had crawling down like a pro. He also has 6 teeth already and is working on 2 more! He is still very much attatched to me and LOVES taking a bath. He is growing sooo fast, I can't belive in 4 months he will be a year old. Lilly and Olivia have taken to "mothering" him and sometimes argue over who's going to play with him. He definately doesn't mind and loves the attention.
Olivia has been busy learning the sounds each letter in alphabet makes and an animal and song that go with each letter. She is working on memorizing Psalm 100 and has it all down except for the very last part of the last verse. She is also learning numbers and is very good at math and counting. She also is SO very funny and she's always saying very funny things. I have a growing list of funny things her and Lilly have said that I will post another day.
Lilly has a piano recital later on this evening, so hopefully I will be able to get some good pictures and videos to post. She has been doing very well with her piano lessons and her teacher says she has a good ear for music. She is almost finished with her paces for the year and has already finished reading the books we got her for Christmas. She loves to read and what I like very much is that she likes to read to Olivia. It is so sweet to see them sitting and enjoying a book together.
Chris has been busy as well with the outreach and jail ministry here in the Methow and Okanogan Valleys. We will be traveling to Maryland here soon as he is scheduled to preach at a church there. He has had several doctor appointments over his ankle and is still having alot of pain and swelling. Here recently he had a steroid injection of some type and it seems to have made things worse. Way worse than it was before. He has an appointment with his doctor today, so hopefully they can figure out something to do to help.
So what have I been up to? Chris and I moved our house/bedrooms around, so I have been trying to settle on a paint color for a couple of the rooms. Chris got me a very early birthday present, a kindle! Those things are so neat! Since both of the girls have had growth spurts like crazy, I've been making them some culottes to wear this spring and summer. This week in particular, I've been busy getting us ready to go on a trip coming up soon to fly to TN to visit our family. I am SO excited about this trip and also very sad at the same time. Last month on the 18th, my Memaw (grandmother) passed away so I'm very sad that I won't be able to see her when we get there. I am also not looking forward to the traveling part of the trip either. This will be the first time flying with 3 children and we thought it was hard with 1! But I think we have prepared plenty of things for them to do and hopefully we won't be the annoying family with crying children the whole flight :-/.
Last night I was up waaaaay too long and past my bedtime changing the look of my blog. I was bored with the way it looked and felt the need to spice things up a bit. I'm still not happy about the background and will probably change it....again. I went through so many different backgrounds and font's last night trying to find the ones I liked. So what do ya think of it the way it is? I think it's too dark and not too crazy aobut the font, I dunno. I don't have too much time to work on it, so it's going to have to stay this way for a little while.
Anyhow, since I really haven't been taking pictures lately and don't have new ones of the kiddos, I will leave you with some art the girls have drawn/painted on the easel that Lilly got for Christmas.

What happens if you have a small body and huge head?
You fall over!
Lilly hung these up to dry on the refrigerator.
Hopefully we won't need anything out of the refrigerator
for a while.
Olivia drew this. She said this is her Daddy and he is so strong.
