I can't believe we have not updated our blog for 4 months. We had a busy winter and we are very happy to see spring. I put together some pictures so you can see what we have been doing and how much the children have grown. However, Anji is growing very slowly. We've been to the doctor a few times and have had some tests run on her. The doctor doesn't seem to be too worried and assures us she'll catch up..
So here is Anji on her horse she calls "Chocolate" - named after a pony she rode last year at the Hartwood Acres harvest festival. I found this on Craig's list and she loves it. It whinnies, neighs, clip-clops and loves to have its hair brushed.
Here's Carol (still an older picture - she has since lost a few teeth - see next photo). I wish I had a picture of me when I was this age. I wore my hair like this all the time.
Here's Carol and Jhon-Fredy for Pajama Day at school. All the kids got to wear their PJs to school and they were served hot chocolate for snack. They thought is was so cool to wear their PJs in school.
Anji ready to go out in the cold.
Scott took Jhon-Fredy to his first Penguins game with our friends Brian and little Brian (Jhon-Fredy and Little Brian play hockey on the same team). Jhon-Fredy wants to be a goalie. He even calls himself "Jhon-Fredy Fleury". When he got home he said that it had been the best day of his life.

Easter already! Jhon-Fredy was so excited to wear a tie. We got up and we gave the kids their Easter baskets then off to church. For dinner we met my parents out. It really was a great day to celebrate what Jesus did for us.
So now we get to Jhon-Fredy's birthday. We asked him if he wanted a party or to do something "fun and new" with the family and said said "fun and new!" So I gave him some choices on what we could do and he picked ROCK CLIMBING! There is a great indoor climbing gym not too far from here. So we packed the kids up and away we went. When we got there Anji was off and running. She climbed right up that wall. All 3 of the kids amazed us as to how they took to it. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon together.

Well, sorry to be so short but I'm off to try and get a few things done before heading to bed (the kids are FINALLY asleep for the day). It seems that everyday is a new adventure for us and we are always looking forward to what God has in store for us tomorrow.
