Gus is turning into such a little boy. He is definatly not a baby or toddler any more. He is almost 4…yikes. He started 3 year old preschool and is loving it. His teachers call him Big Boy and say he is doing great. I think the 1/2 year last year helped him get started this year.

He of course loves working with his dad. And MUST not be bothered while he is moving dirt. Such a Cutie.

I am busy mom...No pictures please.

Cool Dude.

My New Hairdo...(in April!)

Lucy is getting to be such a big girl. She is learning to go Potty and FINALLY getting better at it. She LOVE LOVE LOVES her brother Gus. She also likes to play dolls when he is not around (which is something new). She also likes to read books and cook in her kitchen. Lucy is really starting to talk well and has become quite the ham!!
