oh, this is interesting...

Remember our friend who is pregnant? I cannot yet reveal her identity, but I have some news. "Oh, this is interesting" is what the sonographer said when she saw THIS:

That's right! TWINS!! So exciting!

so...

...what has Tyndale been up to this whole time Quinn has had so much excitement: Mardi Gras, valentines, being a queen??...

oh.....nothing much...

Q is for Quinn

...and Queen! Quinn's class is studying the letter Q this week. One of the moms brought some tiaras so that all of the girls could be "Queens!" Mrs. Theresa thought it would be fun to let the "Kings" escort the "Queens" to the cafeteria during lunch. Each King got to pick his Queen, and Jonah picked Quinn as his Queen. So fun!

Valentine's Party

Quinn's class had a Valentine party and they had such fun! Quinn gave out butterfly/lollipop valentines, and she loved all of the ones she received from her classmates!

Happy Mardi Gras!

We had such fun at Mardi Gras this year! We caught Iris and Tucks on Saturday, then we went home with the LeBlancs and Hopwoods and cooked out hamburgers. All the girls had a great time looking at all their loot...especially the squirting potty! Sunday we went to the Otis home for the Thoth parade and party. We got to see Michael and Katy, the Parnells, Adams, Otis', and many more friends!

Throw me somethin' Mista!

Big Daddy is quite skilled at creating snowmen. We had a ball dressing them up like Mardi Gras revelers! We are ready to "Laissez les bon temps rouler!"

Snow day!

What a wonderful treat! We enjoyed the six inches of beautiful snow this morning. We threw snowballs, caught snowflakes on our tongues, and made snowmen. Big Daddy and Gimmie came over and we had a ball!

Tyndale wasn't too sure if he liked the snow...his boots kept his feet dry, but he was a bit wobbly.

Valentine's Day present

Quinn got an early Valentine's Day present today...can you guess what it is?

That's right! Earrings!! They are magnetic...and really cute. She picked out the diamond ones because they are just like mine and she said we could wear them to school together!

...and they lived happily ever after...

We have enjoyed spending time with Saint, the puppy that adopted us last week. He is precious, a quick learner, and very sweet. But there was one member of our family who was not too excited about his presence:

and occasionally this member of our family wasn't quite sure what to think:
But we have some really great news. Yesterday Saint was adopted into his forever home...with our close friends, the Pounds! He has a ton of land to run around, other sweet dogs to play with, a lake to swim in during the summer, a warm and snuggly mudroom to sleep in, and two (soon to be three) darling kids to love him. When I called to check on him this morning, he was "working" with his new daddy, Mitch. He will get to be with Mitch most days, and I have a feeling they will get to be great friends. We are so excited that we will get to watch Saint grow up, and we couldn't be happier about his new home!

Super Bowl Fun

Go Saints!

ah...Brookhaven....

will you be my valentine?

Pulling into the driveway Tuesday afternoon, Quinn and I noticed something furry next to the door on the back porch. We pulled into the garage, and Quinn RAN to see what it was.....this:

How precious is he?? He acts like he has lived here since he was born! We think that he might be someone's lost puppy, and we have put an ad in the paper. I took him to the vet yesterday to get him cleaned up and given shots, etc. They couldn't tell for sure, but thought he looked just like a full-blooded lab puppy. We are not prepared to have a dog...no fence, no doghouse, no leash, no knowledge of dogs...but he doesn't seem to mind. Quinn is so excited. She told me last night, "I asked God to send me a puppy when I turn ten...and he sent me one NOW!" We have told her over and over that we are just taking care of him until we can find a home for him, but we are all falling in love with him!

new 'do

Pajama Day

Pajama Day breakfast...pancakes and sausage!
Denise and Quinn. Oh, and look closely in the background...a Saints poster!

Quinn and her wonderful teachers, Mrs. Pam and Mrs. Theresa.

Quinn's class had a pajama day at school. This week they are working on the letter 'p' and they have had such fun! Popcorn, pretzels, pringles, picnics, pets, a pig parade around the school, a penguin pinata, and so much more. Today is SAINTS day! (Ok, so that has nothing to do with a P, but everyone is so fired up around here!) Outside of school, we had a visit from a P-uppy...and someone we know is P-regnant! More on both of those later...can you stand to wait?
