Go Tigers - Opening Day

Even though the Tigers didn't pull the 'W' out today, there are many more games for the boys to root their team on--GO TIGERS!!

Happy Spring

Anah made some art projects at daycare today. And Carter just wanted to say Hi!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! The kids woke up this morning to find that the Easter Bunny had left their baskets full of goodies and eggs hidden in the house full of chocolate.

After that, they put on their Easter clothes to get ready for church. Doesn't Carter look handsome? And Anah looks beautiful?

The kids left a note for the Easter Bunny. It said to please leave chocolate and candy. Anah signed her own name. They left carrots out for the Easter Bunny.

Carter got a hair cut

Doesn't he look like a little man now?

Bounce Party at the Stamans!

After many months of promising Anah the Bounce house if she pooped on the potty....she FINALLY DID IT! So, we opened up the box and blew up the bounce house in the living room to celebrate her accomplishment. Hopefully she keeps it up now!

I had my eyes dialated!

The Newest Addition--Brody

Here is the newest addition to the family. My cousin Sarah had a baby boy. He came a little earlier than expected. Meet Brody!

No Tonsils

Carter Loves Spaghetti

Carter really enjoys his spaghetti!

Winter Walk

We decided to take the kids out for a walk outside in the wagon tonite. They had a great time riding in the wagon. Anah and Carter sat on the snowbank and got cold butts.

~WINK~

I love my sister / brother~

Big hugs! Looks like they really love each other!

Daddy Daycare

The kids get to stay home from Daycare this week since Anah can't go to daycare. So, Erich is running "daycare" from the house. Here are the kids doing arts and crafts time.

I guess we have a "pole dancer" in the house. Carter decided to dance on the wall.....don't ask......

this was on Erich's watch.

My new little girl?

Carter decided he needed 'pretties' in his hair...isn't he cute? I thought the pony on top of his head looked just darling with his pretty red hair....

Thanks Aunt Judi & Uncle Steve

Anah received a special package in the mail from Kalamazoo! It was a get well present from Great Aunt Judi and Uncle Steve. It is a Beanie Baby bear dressed up with Bunny Ears. Anah loves it to pieces! She was thrilled to get mail and espcially for it to be a special present just for her. I am sure this will help to speed along the recovery process :) Thanks again Judi and Steve!

Update on Anah--Ear infection??

So everything seemed to be going well for Anah....she was eating and drinking and all. Then on Friday night she stopped and just said she didn't feel good. After dinner I picked her up and she was burning up with a temp of 103. So we called the on-call doctor and he said we should get it checked out at the hospital. So I took Anah and Carter to Urgent Care on Wilson and M6 and my mom was going to meet us there. On the way there Carter fell asleep (poor guy). I carried Carter in and he didn't even budge. He slept the whole time in my arms thru registration and triage. My mom arrived and took him back home so that he could go to sleep. After waiting at Urgent Care, which was pretty fast for Urgent Care, the doctor came in and looked in Anah's ears and she had an ear infection still in her right ear, even though she had just finished Amoxicillin and was started again on Amoxicillin after her surgery. Poor thing! So we went to the pharmacy, go her a different antibiotic and she is doing much better. Today, she kinda passed out on the couch before lunch....she still is a little tired from all of this. But, she is doing much better now that we are getting more of these issues under control. Get well Soon ANAH!

Daddy's chair

Since we didn't get to go to church today, the kids and I hung out while Erich slept. Carter loves to crawl up in the chair and make sure you know he is sitting in "Daddy's chair."

Thanks Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lynee and Aunt Aelise

Grandma and Grandpa came over with Lynee on Thursday and gave Anah some GET WELL presents. Aunt Aelise sent a present up with them, too, for her. She got a princess purse, pencils, paper, necklace, rings, and a watch. She also received new PJ's and socks and lots of other stuff. Anah says THANK YOU! Carter had to get in on the action, too....
