Raegan is One!

I had Raegan's one year pictures taken yesterday at Portrait Innovations. Here are some of the best ones. We are having her birthday party this coming Saturday. I'm sure I will have more pictures to share then!!!!

Happy Easter!

Raegan is starting to walk...with a walker...

Raegan playing the keyboard. We found this hair bow downstairs and stuck it in her hair. I don't think she liked it.

McKinley Museum

Our friend Angie went with us to the McKinley Museum in Canton last Friday. They have a historical area focusing on William McKinley's presidency and also historical artifacts from that time period. They also have a science area, which the kids really enjoyed. Here are some pictures from our trip.

These were taken right outside of the museum. William McKinley, his wife and two young daughters are entombed in the dome.

This thing even lifted me up!

Raegan is 10 Months Old!

Yesterday Raegan turned ten months old. She had quite an eventful day. After dropping off the twins at preschool she went to the bank and to the library with mommy and then came home for a nap. After her nap it was time to pick up the twins from school. We met our neighbors and friends Jace & Laney at McDonalds for lunch and then hit the park. The kids played on the playground and then we went for a walk. The kids rode their bikes and scooters around the walking path. Then they wanted to play on the playground a little more. Raegan enjoyed watching everyone play, but I think she would have really liked to have been down and running around with them. It was a little difficult to keep up with the kids because almost every kid at the playground was wearing green for St. Patrick's Day! After we got home and had a snack the kids played outside some more. And even more when Daddy got home. We don't get these wonderful mid sixty degree days often in the middle of March! We had to take advantage of it! After our long day of play, Raegan was able to do one of her VERY favorite things: take a bath! She loves the bath.



Raegan's second tooth came in on Sunday, so now she has both her bottom ones. I don't think it will be a real long time until her top two come in. How many more do we have to go? Sigh.... :-)

Raegan has also began taking a few steps while holding on. She walks around the coffee table (slowly) or while holding on to the couch. She has also become quite the pro when it comes to crawling....she's fast!
