Severtson Sisters

Well, once again I'm sorry to have waited such a long time to post. Time sure does go by fast here! I can't believe it! :)

We have been keeping busy here. There is rarely a dull moment. Most of the time we are either laughing, cleaning up some kind of mess or bodily fluid, or playing. :) The girls have really started to play well together and Anna watches every move of her sisters!

Anna had her 6 month (!) check-up today. She is weighing in at nearly 16 pounds, which is exactly the 50th percentile. She's sort of a peanut compared to her sisters. :) She is growing well and is doing all kinds of fun things like sitting up and rolling around the floor! She is not really liking to eat her rice cereal, but we have the go-ahead to feed her anything we want to, so maybe she'll take a liking to something else. We'll try some new things this week and see what she thinks.

Lauren is the largest source of laughter that we have around our house. She is constantly saying things that are ridiculous! :) She runs around, seems to bounce off of things, and is almost always laughing. The other day I asked her if she was a bouncy girl, and she replied, "No, I'm Lauren." :) She is finally giving her big sister a run for her money, which is a much needed thing around here--Julia's been "in charge" for a LONG time. :)

Julia is just growing up. It is fun to see her learning new things. She is really getting the hang of reading. It took her awhile to get used to actually sitting down and working at it, but now she gets so excited when she reads a new word. She's getting really good at sounding things out on her own. She's winding down her time at the Learning Lab where she's been for the past 2 years. She is a little worried about leaving it next year--its been a really, really great place for her. I know she'll love kindergarten, though. Wow. Did I just write that? She is getting so old! :)

David just finished the semester this past weekend. He will stay busy with some projects this next month until I am done with school. My contract is a little up in the air for next year. I am hoping that I will be able to stay at my current 68% but there is a possibility that I will have to be 84%. This is NOT something I want to do--I need to be home more with these cute girls! We'll see what happens. It all depends on if they can find a person to teach the load I don't want to carry. :) It is great that they try at all. :)

We are all looking forward to SUMMER! It has not really felt like Spring much yet--tonight there is a frost advisory. :( Hopefully soon we'll be having some 65-70 degree weather.

Here are some pictures from the past 2 months or so--enjoy!

Here is a nice little snow storm the week of Easter. Julia's reaction was to be extremely worried that Easter would not be able to happen now because the Easter bunny wouldn't be able to get through the snow. Funny enough, this year the Easter bunny did make it and he put some money in and egg with the directions to put it in the offering plate for CHURCH.
