Chocolate Dipped Bananas

I took Alexa grocery shopping with me on Friday while Caleb and Jordanna stayed home with Daddy. When we were picking up some bananas, she noticed a chocolate dipping kit right next to them and asked if we could get it. Since I love chocolate dipped bananas and thought it would be a fun summertime activity, I agreed. And they turned out yummy!

Fifteen Weeks

At week 15, your baby stretches his limbs and bends at his elbows. He's getting big enough that you can feel many of these movements.

This week your baby is roughly the size of a small apple or orange. His bones are continuing to grow and lengthen. While he looks more like a baby, his skin is still thin and translucent with his veins visible.

Your baby is also beginning to grow lanugo, a very fine hair. It will keep growing until around the 26th gestational week of pregnancy (that's week 28 of your pregnancy).

Yum! Corn on the Cob!

Begining of Birthdays

We apparently do birthdays in pairs around here. My birthday and Dave's are fairly close (2/23 and 3/17). Then Alexa (6/27) and Caleb (7/14) have birthdays just over 2 weeks apart. And now Jordanna (12/7) and baby #4 (due 12/18) are going to have birthdays near each other. Anyway, it feels like we spend weeks celebrating Caleb and Alexa's birthdays each summer. And it has begun for this year. Alexa is spending the night with my parents tonight for her birthday treat, and I think she is having a great time!

Here she is with the present she picked out -
princess make up.
And playing with the kitties.
And I'm assuming that this is what she picked out at the bakery.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Dave took Caleb to his first baseball game (that he remembers, at least, he went as a baby) this week. From the looks of the pictures, they had a lot of fun.
Thirsty boy!


Running the bases

Goofy kid!

Jordanna Laundry

Do you think I should wash her on cold or hot?

Sprinkler Fun

We got together with some friends from church today and let the kids play in the sprinkler and then had lunch. They had a great time and were apparently worn out as both girls slept ALL afternoon.
