What are you saying?

Dad's note: It seems pretty clear to me. 

Stop and smell the flowers

They smell really purple. But they're pretty. 

Hi there!

Welcome to my room! Let me show you around. Here's my crib and ... well, that's all I can reach right now. 

Using the dishawsher

That's what it's for, isn't it?

Tips from Shane

Jonathan gives me lots of great advice, but sometimes it's good to get lessons from someone closer to your own age. So it was great sharing notes with Shane this weekend to figure out how to manipulate grandparents. The key seems to be smiling at them and laughing when they tell jokes...

Phillies fans

The season isn't off to a great start, but we've still got our colors ready. Now give us something to cheer about, Phillies!

Playground lessons

Since the weather is getting nicer, Jonathan took me to the playground to show off some of the fun places to play there. I still don't understand how the slides and steps work, but he told me that's just because I can't walk yet. 

But I do love the money bars!

Walk in the woods

Mom, Dad and I took Emma for a walk in the woods near our house so she could enjoy the nice weather this weekend. 

Emma like the fresh air, but she didn't do much walking. You'd be impressed the places Mom and Dad can get that stroller. 

I wanted to go for a swim in the lake, but Dad said it was too windy. Also, he said a fisherman would catch me and eat me for dinner. But he's always threatening to eat me, so I didn't take him too seriously.

Growing appetite

OK, how about some raviolis now?

Easter wrap up

We got a lot of great pictures over the weekend, while all of us were dressed nicely for Easter. Here's all the Shane/Quinn grandkids with Grandmom and Pop-Pop:

And here we all are with Aunt Kate:

That picture actually took a long time, since Aunt Kate wouldn't behave for most of the other shots. See?

We also had a ton of time to play with friends and family. Here's me showing off my soccer skills to Maddie:

And here's Tommy and I practicing before everyone got there:

I keep saying this, but we really need to have more parties. They're a lot of fun. 

Happy Easter

We'll have some more photos from the holiday later this week, but Emma and I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter before the day was done. I hope you got as much candy as we did!

Girls' night out

Lexi is gonna have to put some shoes on if we're ever gonna get anywhere.
