May

Here is Laney walking Claire. She started out in the wagon and about half way through our walk decided she was going to pull.We were walking by this bush and Laney said, "Look a snowball bush!" I thought it was cute so had to take her picture in front of it.

Riding sisters!

Claire and Connor are getting so big. They LOVE to be talked to and squeak back.

Three month picture

Baptism

Connor and Claire were baptized April 30. Here is Miss Claire with Daddy.

Claire and Mama.

Pretty girl and the headband I made for her.

Con man ready to go!

Actually a good picture together! They were both very good through church and their baptism.

Connor with his Godparents, Mandy & Jeff.

My Dad's entire family was here. Here is the Vogel clan.

My entire family was here too. All of my mom's siblings were here too.

Grandma and Grandpa with all 6 grandkids.

The Chmelka side. Those that were here!

Easter

Laney was very excited as she ran around collecting eggs. She kept saying, "Oh my word!" It was hilarious!

Alex and Laney after church. Alex was SOOOO proud of his bow tie.

All the cousins after church.

Trying to get a nice picture of Laney. She wasn't up for it and kept giving me fake smiles.

So, here I managed to make Claire mad.

Then she calmed down and the other two got mad. So, in a few minutes I made all 3 mad and didn't get any decent pictures.

Easter pictures

Claire, Connor and BIG sister Laney had some Easter pictures taken. I have a feeling getting a good picture of all 3 of them will be quite a challenge the next few years!

Sisters

Claire-my first sewing experience. I made her pillowcase dress to match a handmade one I bought Laney on Etsy.

Connor-Such a little man in his necktie!

Laney girl. Can't believe she is growing up so fast. We just registered her for 1 day a week preschool for next year! She also informs me she wants to do dance instead of gymnastics.

Babies update

The twins are getting big!! At their 2 month appointment Claire weighed 11pounds 2ounces. Connor was 10pounds 15ounces. They were both 22.5 inches long. They got to sit in their bumbos for the first time. I can't believe how quickly they are growing! Connor is SO strong. He can lift himself up with his forearms.

Here is Claire smiling at Daddy.

Not too bad!

Connor wasn't feeling the cuddle picture! Pretty typical of his behavior. He has been so very colicky. We found he was milk soy protein intolerant so he has to be on special formula and is starting to feel better. When he isn't crying he loves to talk and smile.

Claire is her usual laid back self.

Trike time!

Laney has loved the nice weather days when she gets to play outside. Gogo worked with her on her trike. She now peddles all over and had a crash racing Jeff.

This is how Gogo calms two fussy babies. Thank goodness for all her help!

Daddy daughter time. I'm sure Claire will be in on fixing Daddy's hair and putting lipgloss on him very soon!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

Claire is a little camera shy?

Little ConMan. He looks like an old man in his too big pants!

With Abbey and Maddey. Alex didn't come over. It would have been a great picture with all the cousins!
