Sophie thought it was hilarious whenever Lucas "fell" off
We've had so much fun with the kids lately... doing nothing in particular. Just hanging out. With the weather warming up, we've been outside whever possible.Sophie is officially done with her antibiotics for an ear infection (her first!) from last week. SO glad we don't have to force-feed her that yucky stuff anymore. She's been extremely happy and giggly lately. If Lucas is anywhere close, she's got her eye on his every move. Sophie's been up on all "fours" rocking back and forth for a couple weeks now, but hasn't quite started crawling yet. She gets pretty frustrated at times when she's got her eye on something and can't quite get to it. Any day I'm guessing, but I'm okay if she takes her time. Our baby girl is just growing up too fast!! My dear dear friend Michelle just had her baby this week (pictures to come!!) and I found myself becoming SO sentimental. In fact, every night this week I've been rocking Sophie to sleep... just so I could sit and stare at her... and take a mental picture of that very moment. I never want to forget about what life was like when my kids were really little...or what it's like to hold your itty-bitty baby in your arms. Trying to cherish each and every minute...
It's a wonder how she can keep that paci in her mouth when she's smiling so big!!
Lucas continues to love basketball, especially now that it's on every night it seems. He picks out the Buckeyes and cheers them on (after getting his own OSU jersey on). He also likes to call them the "red guys". He calls most teams by the color of their uniforms... it gets pretty hilarious "Those white guys are playing those red guys again!". Lucas has also been overly excited lately because he gets to wear shorts outside now (most days). That's the VERY first thing he'll do when he gets home from school - puts on his shorts and a basketball shirt...then zooms out the door.

Eric and I are busy chasing after the kids and loving every minute of it. Eric's also in the middle of working on his Master's classes. Keeps him busy, especially after the kids are in bed. School is going great for both of us. We're looking forward to Spring Break coming up, though. We'll be heading up to Ohio for Easter and then spending some time at home getting some jobs done around the house (ie: planting our garden perhaps?).
And... I saw some crocuses and tulips popping through the ground. I ran inside to get the camera and by the time I came out, Lucas so kindly picked all of the petals off and they were laying on the ground. Then...we had our yearly chat about not picking Mommy's pretty flowers. Silly kid!!
Can't wait to see these beautiful tulips blooming!!! 
These days Sophie HAS to have something in her hands and she's often trying to eat whatever it is... sing it, Sister!!
