Duvalin!

As a kid attending Belmopan Junior School, I remember going to 'Coolie's Cart' to buy snack during recess. A frequent buy was Duvalin. Duvalin is milk candy which combines flavors like, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla and caramel or "cajeta".



Our sweet friends Brock and Heather Hower sent some to us from Mexico and I was so excited to give one to Eden. She loved it (then again, who wouldn't love the taste of melted chocolate). It was neat to have memories from my childhood flood my mind; as well as, have my daughter experience a little of what I remember as a Belizean child.

Lincoln is 4mths

My sweet boy is growing so fast. He gets more and more handsome everyday. I love that he can interact with people. Eden loves that he laughs at her when she's being silly. Some of the things that he's doing are:

Making spit bubbles
Laughing when tickled
Holding his toys
Lifting his head during tummy time
Sucking on his two fingers (if there's not a paci nearby)

I love this boy.

Doll House

I decided the other day to save the pampers box and make a doll house for Eden. I will be quick to admit that I know very little about architecture and interior design but I sure did have fun. Thanks to duck tape and wood glue, I was able to make stairs, bed, toilet, kitchenette, and a living room. Eden added a special touch to the upstairs room with her very own art work. She is so excited that her baby dolls can now watch Elmo too. I don't think this is going to last very long but at least I had fun making it. Daddy (Ben) will probably build her one when she's a little older.

Children's Museum

Ben and I took the kids to our Children's Museum one weekend along with my brother and his wife. We weren't sure if Eden was going to like it or not but she had a blast. Most of the stations were geared towards older children but they did have activities for Toddlers. I think us adults ended up having just as much fun:) Lincoln enjoyed himself as well must he slept most of the time.

Some of the things were enjoyed were:

Lapsit Storytime!

So I've been meaning to take the kids to the Destrehan Library for a while now for Lapsit Storytime. I haven't been able to make it until today and now I wonder why I didn't go before. Today was water play and the kids had so much fun. Even Lincoln splashed in the pool. It was so neat to spend time with other moms. I haven't really been a part of any group like this before. I'm thinking about joining MOPS as well but until then, my kids and I can enjoy free entertainment. Here are some pics from this morning.

Lincoln is 3 months old

My precious boy is now 3 months and such a big boy (compared to my little Eden). I love his little personality!! I tried to capture some of them for his 3 month home photo shoot. I love this boy so much and that he brings smiles to my face. He was able to get all the shots needed at his 2 month appt., so he can skip his 3 mth well baby checkup. I'm thinking he is about 13-14 lbs. He is growing out of his bassinet. Tonight, he moves into the crib:)

Reunion/July4th

We went to Birmingham and Virginia for our vacation this year. It was great to spend some time with our friends Todd, Michelle and Erik. We also had a great time at the Roseberry Family Reunion. It was such nice weather and scenery. Everyone had a great time.
