Caden is learning to use the camera

Caden is working very hard to master the art of photography. I erased over 40 pictures - some of his trains, the house, Corley, and us. It is very interesting to see life through the eyes of a little guy. The good thing is that Michael and I will be able to have pictures of the two of us...as scary as they may be. Until now we were always the ones behind the camera.

Easter Egg "FIND"

Our church had its Easter Egg Hunt this past weekend. It was too easy for the little ones - they actually spent time deciding which ones to pick up. FUNNY! It was very cold and not spring like. We still had fun, though.

Sitting up now

This week has been very busy for Corley. She is finally sitting up unassisted. There are still some accidents, mostly involving the helpful big brother. Moving on to crawling...

Pizza Night

Michael and Caden are making supper. We have pizza every Friday and we are determined to teach Caden so that he can be in charge of supper every once in a while. It is not too early, is it?

Loving it all...

I always wondered what it would be like for us with the addition of the second child. Now I know. WONDERFUL! I love every moment of it. Caden is so good with Corley. He loves to help me with anything that involves her. She is the first person that he asks about when he gets in the car from school. If he doesn't see her, he looks for her. She is so lucky to have such a good big brother.

Things are starting to become more fun for him. He loves that she can chase him - he runs and she follows him in her walker. He slows down so that she can catch up and know where to go. She is beginning to sit up and he really likes that. He has taught her how to use most of her toys and sings to her all the time. He even made up a song...the "I love Corley" song. So sweet.

Reading with Uncle Steve

Watch as Steve reads the book. Either the book is really boring or Caden is super tired. Needless to say... NAP TIME!

The wheelbarrow

Uncle Steve came to visit

Uncle Steve spent a few days at the Olsommer home this weekend. Caden wouldn't let him out of sight. It was fun having him visit and we hope that we didn't scare him away forever.

The waterfall is down

Many of you remember how excited Michael and I were when we bought a house with a water feature that was already installed. Yeah well, it was rotted and falling to pieces. It would have been quite an investment to get it running again. Needless to say it is gone! These are some pictures of my two "working boys".

Isn't she cute?

Toddler Bowling

Caden, Corley and I went bowling with some friends in Anderson. One game...10 toddlers...2 hours. I am not sure when we will be able to fit bowling into our schedule again!!!

Look, I have feet

Corley found her feet a long time ago but really hasn't given them much attention until this week. Now she won't leave them alone. I guess if I was this flexible I might roll around and eat my toes, too.

Snow in Anderson

Really?

I was cooking lunch and turned to find...
