Spring has Sprung!

After a bout with the flu (thanks Noa & Sierra!!)...we headed out to enjoy a bit of spring weather this past weekend.

Darth is 25 weeks along...and making Mikaela's belly look like this:

WHOA!!

We took Darth to the Celtic Festival to explore his daddy-to-be's family heritage. Darth loved the bagpipe music, kicking along to the beat.

We saw a baby hairy coo

and

Darth tried on his first Buchannan clan tartan

Then we came home and gave Lukey his summer buzz cut!

With the new 'do, swimming season can't be far away!!

Week 22...the Belly goes to a Museum!

First and foremost...the 22 weeky belly shot!

(You may be asking yourself "Why does Mikaela, who always has such a fabulous sense of fashion, always look like a bag lady in these pictures!??!" Well, I'll tell you. Belly shots are always taken first thing in the morning. It's a rule. "Why is that the rule?" you may ask. Well, I'll tell you that, too. It is a rule that all belly shots taken place in the morning because the belly still qualifies as 'cute' most mornings...but by the end of the day, it tends to look like a beast that is trying to take over the world. So, for your sake, as well as ours...we implemented the morning belly shot rule. Just picture that nice belly on Mikaela's regularly stylish self. Or you could photoshop...but I digress....)

This past weekend, we took the belly to the Port Discovery Museum at the Baltimore Harbor. It was a TON of fun for everybody involved--if you haven't been, we highly recommend you go (kids or not!).

Here are a alot of pics from the fun!

Thataway to Egypt!

Nick and Sierra did a rubbing of a hyroglyphic message

Boo!

We did shape sorting races!

We milked a cow

We climbed through a dark and scary drain...

We drew self portraits...

We played in and around water!

First, we suited up...

Then we dove in!

Suf's up!!

And finally...we dried off before heading out for lunch and naptime!

Fun was truly had by all!!
