Happy 3rd Birthday to Jack!

We've had a busy and fun-filled winter. Sophie is now 4 1/2 years old and Jack is almost 3 and recently, we turned both kids forward-facing in their car seats. This was Sophie's reaction. Even when we were driving at just 15 mph, she thought we were going so fast. Both kids were waving at the on-coming cars.


Sophie recently quit sucking her thumb! We are so proud of her and she is very proud of herself. To celebrate, we had lunch with her dolls at the American Girls store at the Mall of America. Then we went on rides at Nickelodeon Universe (just the humans, not the dolls). Pictured below (L-R): Rebecca McMillan, Sophie, baby Calla. 


Sophie is enjoying preschool and will start Kindergarten in the Fall and Jack will be starting preschool. Sophie's class has a pet cat (don't worry, it's just a puppet) and she brought it home, complete with it's own kennel, for the weekend. She named the kitty kat "Buttercup" and wrote in a journal about what they did together. Buttercup even watched Sophie during her swimming lesson!


Hard to believe, but Jack is almost 3 years old! We celebrated with a birthday party at the Williston Treehouse. The kids ran and played in the treehouse adventure area had a blast. My dear sweet boy is growing up to be such a kind and gentle little man.


Jack loves the Disney Jr. show "Jake and the Neverland Pirates", so that was the theme of his birthday party.
