We finally have access to theCreasons.com restored (after two years)! Stay tuned for some serious updates! Well, okay, correction, somewhere in the restoration, all our images were lost…Yes, it was user error…and I was the user. Still working on the new look, but at least we’re back up and running.

We took some fun spring pictures at Oaklawn Garden… they really capture the spirit of the girls, and they had a lot of fun!

March was a fun month with a trip to Florida and the rest of the month trying to get back to normal!Â Charlotte is 17 months old now, and quite a lot of fun.Â She likes to chatter, though little is understandable yet.Â I think her favorite word is still daddy, though her list also includes Mommy, Leesie (zee-see), baby, bubbles, and more.Â She has very definite opinions (still!) and loudly expresses her dissatisfaction when things don’t go her way.Â Thankfully, it is very short-lived, and she is generally very happy.Â She already knows how to aggravate Elise by taking something of hers and running away, usually laughing!Â She also loves to climb, especially onto the living room chair.Â Â Charlotte is still very cuddly and loves (loves loves!!) her thumb.Â Elise keeps a steady drop off/pick up going of her children all day long, whether it be to church, preschool or just “class.”Â She loves to be the teacher or the mommy, is an excellent chef in her own kitchen and helping me more in the “big” kitchen, and is teaching Charlotte how to be an excellent homemaker already.

We had a fantastic week in Florida!Â We all spent the first few days at the “lodge” (middle of the woods near Ocala).Â Josh and I hadn’t been there in many years, and it was fun to introduce the girls to it.Â It was just really good to be back again.Â We enjoyed four-wheel rides, meat grilled over a wood fire, s’mores, and lots of play time outside.Â After we sent Josh back home, the three girls stayed with Papa and Emma in Clearwater for a few more days.Â I think the sandbox provided by Papa was their favorite.Â It was a great time to enjoy family, see some friends and just relax!

And the Creason family grows again… baby #3 is on the way!Â Due Sept. 1… here’s a sneak peek we got a few weeks ago.Â Elise’s response to this news varies depending on the day.Â Some days she tells me “I think we have enough children” while other days she’s very excited.Â I’m sure it will continue this way til long after baby arrives!Â Charlotte, on the otherhand, hasn’t a clue what’s coming!

February brought even more snow which means great fun for those with kids and never an overwhelming amount.Â Just enough for fun and wet enough for one good snow man.Â Elise and Charlotte love to play together, at least until someone takes someone else’s toy, then the volume gets turned up.Â Or until Charlotte stops cooperating with what Elise wants her to do.Â Charlotte is enjoying books more now and certainly has her favorites.Â And little patience for the ones that aren’t her favorites… she simply closes them.Â

The fun in January was a bit of snow here and there.Â It only takes a little to be great fun!Â And little bitsÂ are much less overwhelming and easy to walk in.Â We enjoyed settling back into “normal” life and sticking pretty close to home.

Happy New Year!Â I’m pretty sure each year gets faster and faster.Â Or maybe it just picks up speed with each kid.Â So many great memories from last year, and looking forward to seeing what this year holds!Â Here are some pics from our NC trip…

December was a blast with all the Christmas festivities.Â Elise was so much fun as she understood more this year and was all about baby Jesus.Â Did you know Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus even came to visit bunny?Â They came all the way from Nazareth on an airplane, and they brought ham to eat!Â It was a joy to hear her sing Christmas songs, too, including Joy to the WorldÂ where “heaven major sing.”Â Charlotte started walking full time and is picking up speed.Â She canÂ make good sheep and monkey noises right now, rubs her chest vigorously for “please”, and shakes her head for no, especially when she’s doing something she’s not supposed to.Â We had a great trip to NC from Christmas day to January.Â Lots of time in the car, but lots of good time with family.
