It's been a while...

So I thought I'd post a few recent pics. We've just been waiting for Winter to end and looking forward to Spring. Isabel just caught her 5th or 6th cold of the winter and now I'm just hoping that I don't catch it too. It feels like life has been crazy busy here. I've been babysitting Rowan and Sophia on Mondays and Tuesdays and working on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday mornings. It all definitely makes the weeks fly by! Taking care of all 3 kids at once definitely gives me a huge appreciation of moms who do this every day! I can't imagine having 3 kids under 3 and managing to keep your sanity! :) But most days it is a blast, Rowan and Isabel love each other so much and they usually entertain themselves really well. Sophia is an adorable little sweetheart and at 7 months is able to crawl around on the floor after the big kids and tries to get in on the fun. My parents have been taking Isabel on some cool outings on their days with her. The first pics in here are from their trip to the Smith College Spring Bulb Show. Rowan and Isabel were most impressed with the fish and frogs and the waterfall and only somewhat interested in the pretty flowers.
Here they are running through the Jungle Room, I love this photo the best. This their usual state no matter where they are, constantly running around, usually with Rowan in the lead and Isabel following him everywhere.
These next 2 are just a couple of cute pics that I took recently. Isabel has become quite picky about her fashion statements lately. She has a pair of black sparkly shoes that she wears every day, no matter what she's wearing with them. She also has a purple sparkly necklace and she loves to wear her pink baseball cap backwards. This pic only shows her wearing the baseball cap, but it's still pretty cute. She likes me to take her picture lately, but she usually says "cheese" and then before I can take the pic she's running towards me asking to see the pic on the back of the camera. Somehow I managed to snap a couple where she isn't a blur. She actually posed for this one, insisting that her babies be in the pic with her.
Here she was posing with her balloon from Friendly's. I think she looks so much older in these 2 pics, so cute, but I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast!
