Isn’t it nice that the snow melted and warmer weather is starting to sneak into the forecast?  Well, okay, for most of you it’s getting ready to snow again, and maybe a lot, but that recent day of near-80-degree weather has us excited to be able to get out and play in the sunshine more.  Oh, Bumblebee here.  Mom said I could have a turn at narrating the picture line-up this time.

Our new baby brother sure is getting big, and he’s such a cutie!  We have decided his screen name should be LB for “Little Boy,” at least for now.  If we come up with something better we’ll change it.  He’s gaining a pound a week, and only wakes one or two times each night.  I think I might like him better than the others do, but they say no way.  Anyway, we have some more pictures of him, and a video of Cruz that’s pretty cute.  Hope you enjoy.

The first set of pictures were taken at the Picture People Studio.  We thought they turned out pretty well. It can be very difficult to get 5 young children to all smile at the same time, look at the camera at the same time, hold still for longer than 2 seconds and not throw any fits.  By the end of the session mom was just glad to get this many to turn out well.

LB doing his best impression of Dad. hehe.

This video is from early December, but we wanted to show you, since it was pretty cute.  At this point Cruz had only been walking on his own for about 2 weeks or so.  Just like his sisters, he started walking at about 14 mos. old.

Here are some candid shots of birthdays, as Jr. and I turned another year older in Jan. and Feb.  Squeaker will be turning 3 soon – she is so excited for her birthday.

Jr’s 5th, celebrated at his Godparents’ house.

He got cheesecake!

Here is one of LB at just a few days old, and then a few from his baptism.

With the Godparents, mommy’s brother and his wife.

…and one from the family Jan./Feb. birthday celebration.  Lots of birthdays in two months!

Now for MY birthday pics!  Okay, there are only two, but that’s because we don’t want to make this blog post REALLY long.

How about a few fun pics?  Here are some of us including a couple with mom and dad.

LB’s need for a haircut is very obvious in this next picture…

…so mom gave him one!  The lighting isn’t great on either one of these pictures, but you ought to be able to see evidence of a haircut, especially when comparing it to the previous picture.

More fun pictures.

 

 

We will leave you with one more video, of LB, trying to learn how to smile. I sure love him!

We will be back again sometime with pictures from Easter and Squeaker’s birthday.  God bless you all! Have a Happy and Holy Easter!
