Margaret is 3 months old! She's also a very happy baby! Looooooooves attention! :)

Our 5th Wedding Anniversary

Today we are celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary! It's amazing how blessed we've been in such a short amount of time!

What is wrigley bread you ask?

Earlier that morning I made pancakes for breakfast. After lunch, I started prepping some bread for dinner. I figured Teresa would like to make her own bread, so I gave her a little bit of the dough. She rolled it out, piled flour on it and had plenty of fun. After Teresa was done playing with the dough, she put it in little pans, and into the oven they went along with the other loaves of bread. Well, when Nick got home, he asked her what she baked and she told him pancakes. So I said, no it's just regular white bread. And Teresa says, "OH NES (yes)! Wrigley bread!" She tried so hard to say regular white bread! She was so proud of her bread that she decided she would eat both of them before dinner.
(Dinner that night was homemade chicken noodle soup!)

MMMM!!!!

A few random pictures

They were playing so nicely until Clare ran over the big ponies with the pony car!

Our first little one to suck on their thumb.

A trip to the Farmer's Market!

It's been a few months, but we finally went today! We bought some pumpkins, mums and a few other miscellaneous plants!

Butterflies

Aunt Mary sent some cute little dress up items. Teresa (and Clare) love them! Here's a few pictures of them playing.

Broken crayons?

We turned the broken crayons into rose shaped crayons! We (I) cut them, melted them and set them in a rose candy mold. Teresa thought it was so neat to watch the crayons melt together!

Teresa's carbon copy?

Margaret!

Teresa-isms

Teresa can say some of the funniest things!
For Example:

It was raining one day while we were out at the store. On our way home, she told me to "Drive faster! It's going to rain and get us wet!" Meanwhile, I was sitting at a red light.

On our way to church, we exit I40 onto I95. I guess there's something about being in the van that causes the exit to seem a bit sharp. Not to mention Dada's driving!! She always tells Dada to stop it, because it causes her to shift in her seat. Teresa honestly thinks that Nick does it on purpose!

Nick had just got home from work one day and he wanted to change out of his work clothes. Teresa had other plans and immediately asked him to go outside with her. He told Teresa it would only take him a minute and then they could go outside. She responded with, "OK, only one minute!" Nick just looked at her and then she says, "Hurry Dada! Only one minute. OK, maybe two minutes."

We were at the store today and Teresa got a sample of Muenster cheese from the deli. Nick asked her if the cheese was yummy. She said yes. Then Nick asked her what kind of cheese it was, and Teresa says, "MONSTER CHEESE! RAAAAAAWWWWWR!"

She cracks me up!

Hi Baby, I made some tea for you!

All smiles!

Cup o' tea?


What about the whole pot? Clare thought this was hilarious!

Poor Margaret...
