Happy Mother's Day!!

After church last weekend, we took a group picture:

Ella, Alex, Helen

See Daddy! We are staying true to the Gator Nation even though we are in Buckeye Country :)

Ella, Alex, Helen

Helen seems to be growing a mohawk down the middle of her head - hopefully the rest of her hair will fill in soon!

Alex gives the peas a thumbs up!

My good friend Robyn came to visit and pitched in like a good trooper to help out.

Here she is holding Ella.

Alex is getting very good at standing up in the Exersaucer

Grandma is reading a good night story to Alex and Helen

Alex thinks the squash will work too

(I promise that I am trying to feed the girls too but Ella refuses to open her mouth for anything but the bottle and Helen is still coping with cereal. Alex is the only one who will polish off anything you put in front of him)

Here's Helen with her cereal and prunes - not a fan

Alex has had enough of sitting in the bumbo - he is screaming and arching his back to get out.

Who said boys were subtle?

This one is for you Daddy!

(Cecil thinks no boy should ever be dressed in plaid)

Ella and Alex on Mother's Day.

We went up to Cleveland to my brother's for the day. We had a great time and the cousins enjoyed getting to play together.

Uncle Brad and Helen

Grandpa is trying to feed Alex an M&M

Helen and Ella

(very tired after a long day and no nap - we were just lucky they were not crying here)

Helen, Ella, and Alex

Alex on the way home - looking out the window and sucking his thumb

Ella finally went to sleep after insisting she was not tired and did not need a nap

Helen getting ready to fall asleep
