oh wow!

So it's been a while since we have updated. Needless to say, I've been busy with National Boards stuff. Luckily, April 2nd will be the end of it all! I have turned in my portfolio and go take the test next Friday. I have done all I can for this, so hopefully it will go well. We'll just have to wait and find out...in stinking November! Daphne and I made a trip to Raleigh in February to see Aunt Tiff. We took Chandler along with us. We have done lots of playing outside on pretty days, which we love. We have been to the Dr. for our 18 month check up. Daphne is 30 inches long and 22 pounds. We are finally back on the growth curve...in the 10th percentile range...but hey, at least we are on it this time :) Aunt Emilee has come over quite a bit to work on National Boards stuff together. We figured the buddy system would power us through! Daphne "Mike Tyson" Eddings has started having more good days than bad at daycare. Apparantly she likes to be the enforcer around the baby room. Her paw paw has given her an enormous (and i'm putting that lightly) bag of Easter candy, including every color/shape of Peeps you can find. So, we are using these as treats for good days. We also went to dinner with the long lost Stacey and George and went bowling with them and aunt Shannon and uncle Brendan. Anyway, stop with the rambling, look at the pictures.
Daphne showing us how she can be a duck.

Daphne at McDonalds in Raleigh playing with Chandler. She figured out the thing moves so we had to keep making the beads inside move all around.

We went to this really cool kid's museum where they could touch and play with EVERYTHING. There was a pirate ship, big chess pieces, a submarine, an art station, all about money, and several other things. Daphne had a great time...and so did mommy and Tiff!

The chess pieces she was playing with were almost as big as she is!

Learning to hula hoop.

Tiff and Chandler in the dress up room.

Future money...keep that in mind.

Art! How we love it!

The awesome 5th grade Peep Show for school we did! We made ourselves contestants and John was the announcer. It was so much fun. We'll see next week if we won!

Daphne playing putt putt. She was starting to figure it out. Paw paw's future golfer :)

Mommy teaching Daphne how to swing properly.

Daphne with her crown.

We bought a new helmet set for Daphne because she loved Bryson's so much. It's already been used quite bit, both inside the house and outside.

Don't you love our knee pads?

Wearing Bryson's hat so Daphne and Bryson could be daring driving down the hill on their cars/bikes.

Driving around in our jeep (and yes, we wear a helmet Mimi!)

oh wait, no we would rather PUSH the jeep!

Aunt Emilee is decorating the hair with bubbles...

and showing the puppy dog how to make a mess by blowing the bubbles!

Such the cheeser!

Waiting patiently to go bowling.

I think you should use this one George. It's pretty

hmmn, which one do I want to use? I think I'll just climb on top of the ball return and get one...

Concentrating hard on where I need to throw the ball.

So I have to just push the ball as hard as I can?

Ok dad, show me what you got. You think you can beat me?

ha! Let me show you how it's done.

Mom, quit holding me down. I gotta bowl!
