Hazel Graduates from Kindergarten

Kindergarten is such a milestone anymore.

Hazel graduated from Kindergarten today and is extremely smart. I can remember when I was in kindergarten and we only went half days, learned to say the alphabet and took naps. Now it's a full day, no naps and the mind of a 10 year old! 

3 Month Old Pearl

Little Pearl is now 3 months old.

She likes to chat, lots of smiles and full of giggles!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day for me was rather an uneventful day since I wasn't feeling well.

Everything at the Taylor house was going strong for Melissa. While she didn't get a picture with herself and all the kids, she did get part of herself with Violet, Lincoln, Hazel and Goldie enjoying the sun,

Later came the picture of Pearl. At least one of us had a good Mother's Day.

Pearl's First Fever

It was bound to happen. Pearl had her first fever.

It's not surprising with 3 older siblings going to school and bringing nasty viruses home. Or maybe it's her many trips to Target with Goldie. Either way it's really sad to see your poor baby suffer.

Conversation With Pearl

Little Pearl is now having conversations.

I wanted to post the video but I'm not that good and Blogger doesn't always save the video. Melissa got her to talk for a little bit but since then she's been kind of silent with the good news!

Easter Volleyball Sunday

Our Easter was a little different this year with Violet having a volleyball tournament.

The first 2 days of the tournament went exceedingly well. The girls won all their matches and wound up in the gold bracket. 

It was hardy worth getting up Easter Sunday to be downtown at Bartle Hall at 8:00 in the morning. The girls lost their first match and were out of the tournament by 8:30. Lincoln was prepared to cheer on the girls with his sportsmanlike attire. But that didn't work.

The best part of the day was going to a Mexican restaurant for Easter dinner. At least I didn't have to cook.

Pearl Daisy is 2 Months Old

Where does the time go?

Pearl Daisy is already 2 months old. This is an actual smile instead of the reflexive smiles she gave a month ago.
