Gettysburg--April 2011

James' mom & dad came and spent a week in Maryland with us while Thomas & Toby were out for Spring Break. We did little day trips nearly every day. On this particular day, we went to Gettysburg. During the time that we lived in Germany, a new visitor's center was built in Gettysburg. It is really, really nice. After we toured the visitor's center, we drove around the grounds--the kids loved it!

Two Cute Boys!

While shopping in "Downtown Frederick" it really is best to leave the kids outside (with a supervising adult) rather than taking them in the cute stores with you!

Easter Egg Hunt--Tuscarora Rec Center

I signed the boys up for a little Easter egg hunt that was held nearby. It also included some games. Unfortunately, the day of the hunt ended up being rainy & cold so they had to move it indoors. Better than canceling it completely, I guess. Well, at least the kids thought it was fun. I don't have any pictures of the actual egg hunt, because I had to help Toby.

Crazy Hair Day (at school/Spring)

Thomas' school had "Spirit Week" and each day had a different theme where the kids had the opportunity to dress up & have a little bit of fun. His favorite day was "Crazy Hair Day".

Mr. Sassy Pants

My friend caught this on her camera today. This to me, is a very typical Toby look. He is sassy and silly. When he's not being sassy or silly and making us laugh he is giving us headaches and making us pull our hair out. There really is no in-between with him.

"Wittle Bump"

I have been able to feel Snow 3.0 moving for a very long time. If I told you how long, you would think I was C-R-A-Z-Y (OK, so I felt flutters before even the first trimester was over--honest!) However, nobody else has been able to feel him, even though I am now 20 weeks along (Yay! I'm past the half-way mark now!). Last night, he was kicking or moving around a lot and I was sure it could be felt from the outside. The whole family was together in the living room, but Toby was the closest to me. I asked him to come over and put his hand on my tummy to see if he could feel the baby. He came over, and immediately the baby kicked right where Toby's hand was. I said, "Did you feel it?" and Toby replied, "No, all I felt was a wittle bump!"
