More Pictures

I can hardly believe my baby girl turned three a few weeks ago!  She took a nasty fall on the driveway and scratched her face just in time for birthday pictures.

She asked all day when it would be time for her "happy birthday", which was her way of asking when we would have cake.  She was very pleased as we sang to her and she blew out her candles without any help from big brother.

We thought another set of blocks (Nicholas already had one) would be a good gift.  Now we can build really big towers and lots of other fun things together.

My parents came for a visit last weekend and brought my niece along.  Nicholas and Claire always love to have their cousin visit.

Fun in the pool!

Silly Faces!

Saying Goodbye.

Here is the Aoun clan in front of our new house.

Lots of Random Pictures

Nicholas and Claire cuddling up on my HUGE body pillow.

I took lots of pictures on our latest trip to the zoo.  Unfortunately, I had the camera on the wrong setting so this was one of the few that turned out.

We sold our house about 5 weeks after it was listed.  We are very thankful for our new house where we have more room for our family, especially with our new arrival due in about 3 months.

There's nothing like putting your feet up in some cool water to relax at the end of the day.

Better yet, why not just get all the way in!

And what's even more fun is playing at the splash park on hot summer days.

I think this is a taste of what's to come in our future!

 Nicholas' preschool had a career month which ended in Career Day for the kids.  He has decided to be a rock star when he grows up so that's what he dressed up like for school! 

 Claire is just as sweet and loving (and sometimes ornery) as usual these days.

 She has really taken an interest in drawing lately and often asks mom or dad to draw her name while she dictates the letters.

Speaking of drawing, here's a picture my other little artist drew on his wall while Claire was having a bath one evening!  Thank God for Magic Erasers!!!

 Nicholas celebrated his 5th birthday back in March (I know, I'm WAY behind!) with a party at Chuck E. Cheese. 

 He enjoyed being the star of the show!

Happy birthday Nicholas!

Thanksgiving and Christmas

We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in Ft.Wayne with Rachel's side of the family. Claire really enjoyed giving a hug to her second cousin (or something like that) Isaiah!


Nicholas is definitely outnumbered but still enjoyed having other kids to play with, even though they were all girls.


I'm not sure if Nicholas was rolling out the dough for cookies or getting ready to hit a ball with that rolling pin!


Claire thoroughly enjoyed making Christmas cookies this year. She sampled everything from the flour to the frosting!


Here we are opening stockings on Christmas morning.


We're very thankful to have a wonderful family to spend holidays with!

Funny Faces

Legos

After a weekend with lots of time devoted to building with Legos, the final products were a police station, space ship, lots of vehicles, and one happy little boy!


While Nicholas was busy playing Legos, Claire entertained herself with her hair clips. I asked her how many she could put in her hair at the same time and she worked hard to find out!


Random family photo that turned out pretty good so I decided to post it!
