• The end of March and beginning of April...in pictures

  I'm getting to be very bad about updating this regularly or even taking pictures off of the camera lately.  There is a lot going on, or so it seems.

  Augustin's Birthday
  Augustin is 4 now, which is really hard to believe.  We had two small celebrations this year.  We had our annual visit with Brad's family to Parker's Maple Barn in southern New Hampshire for breakfast and then the afternoon was spent at his parents house celebrating all the March birthdays....Grandpa, Nicki and Augustin.  The day was topped off with a delicious carrot cake!!!
  

  Modeling his new church clothes; so grown up and handsome
  

  The day after his birthday we had our family celebration at home.  Papa made him the rainbow whale cake he wanted and as a treat he got to help decorate it this year.  He had a great time, especially when Papa gave him free reign of the sprinkles.

  Enjoying the cake
  

  He got some cool sunglasses from Mama and Papa
  

  The rest of the month
  Samuel, loves these pj's and will wear them anytime they are clean.  They are a little too long though so he has to walk around and hold them up at the same time.
  

  Veronica is now 4 months old and while not getting big physically she sure is growing up.  She's now just over 12 pounds, rolls from her belly to her back, grabs everything she can reach and puts it in her mouth.  She loves to chat with what she's holding and is now laughing at her brothers.  It was a really gloomy day, but I wanted some spring around so I put her in the summeriest outfit I could.
  

  While, still small in size, she's getting bigger and not looking so tiny in the exersaucer.
  

  Veronica has started eating cereal and loves it.  She has a big appetite like her brothers.  Samuel's favorite spot to be is right next to her standing on a chair.  This night he had Augustin's whale and was trying to share it with her when she was done eating.
  

  My mom and I went shopping at the consignment shop before their trip to Virginia to visit  Aaron and Beth.  We found this really cute swim shirt (UV shirt) in Veronica's size and then this skirt that just happened to match perfectly.  The shirt is a Target brand and the skirt is Hannah Andersen and they colors are perfect. I had to try it on her when we got home and of course I took pictures...tags and all.
  

  Samuel always loves to be where Veronica is...this day was no different
  

  Grant and Matthias were spending some time together working in the basement on a painting project for Matthias
  

  Matthias loves Veronica and she loves him.  This was one of those rare times she let someone other than me hold her and I had to capture it so we have proof.
