Some pics from the last month and then the cousins' visit.

Peter Six-Month Pics

Some belated pics from Peter at six months old and a few pics with Grandma. We kept her busy so we didn't get too many photos -- and Peter was a stinker for the first few days!

Some spring pix I took while working on the roof last weekend. Not sure if the link will work because Google/Picasa have gone and changed again; apparently they heard that I had figured out how to use their old software . . . must be time for a change!

Peter Five Months and New Chickies

** The embedded links are slideshows. To see all the pics, click on "view."  I'm trying photobucket now because they offer unlimited free storage! It looks good so far. To download a picture, click on an individual picture and hover over the top left of the pic. You'll see options appear for "file/download." One of the other options is "save to my album," so you could also conceivably save my pics to your own photobucket account.

Some pics of life now. The first album is pics of our new chicks. Jon's making "chicken tractors" for them to live in outside once they're bigger, but for now they all hang out inside. Cute! We should be getting eggs by the fall if all goes well. The fencing pics are Eva "getting in the cage" as Jon and I were stretching out the mesh for the sides of the chicken tractor.

The next is pics of the kids. Peter started eating some cereal. He likes it okay, sometimes more than other times, and so far I haven't noticed a difference in his spitting up. Now he just spits up cereal too. But we'll see. It's only about once a day so far, so maybe it will start to make a difference. Eva's been a big help in the garden now. She can ride her bike around the grass, help us plant seeds, weed, etc. We got her a garden tool bag at Walmart in the Easter section and she loves having a space for her own tools. She gets very dirty outside and loves it!
Also, there are a few videos of Peter. They're not great videos, but I thought you'd all like to see some of his milestones -- namely, laughing and rolling over!

The great catch up begins

So I was looking at pictures and vids from Laura and Jon and I said to myself, "hey we should post some pictures, I wonder when the last time we posted was?" And I realized that it was like October of last year. So I'm going to try to catch up in a post or two before Liz and I leave on our trip. First up is Molly's birthday, Cormac's birthday and Christmas.

Video: Peter has things to say. And here are some pics from the last month, up to Peter's four-month pics. He's been pretty sad since his shots yesterday, so it was actually hard to get cheerful pics with his four-month sign. Hopefully he'll be back to his normal cheerful self soon. At his four-month checkup he was 15 pounds (50%), 24" long (25%). He also rolled over twice yesterday morning just before we left for the doctor. Guess he figured he was old enough to learn something new. Meanwhile, Eva has learned the joys :-( of not napping...
