May Download - Part 1

Is anyone still reading this blog? :) I hope so. Thanks for your patience. I'm taking inspiration from Shannon who just posted a bunch of pictures from May to get everyone caught up on life in the Snyder household. So here goes...Part 1!

Dancing Queen - Jillian is a singing and dancing machine lately. Both require wearing a skirt and not having any "ponies" in her hair (so her hair moves when she shakes her head). We have heard many creative made up songs in the past month, all accompanied by a rhythmic clap. When she is not singing made up songs Jillian often sings the "Alex" song (otherwise known as "Since You've Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson). In Jillian's version it starts out "Here's the ping" rather than "Here's the thing."

Frog Boy - he has the roundest head you've ever seen. Lots of smiles this month. He's generally a very calm baby - unless he's hungry, then watch out!!

Ahhh, taking advantage of a sunny day! Water will entertain this girl for hours on end. Just give her a bucket and a watering can and she's happy!

Brother and Sisterly Love - anytime we put Nathan in his crib, Jillian wants to join him. I'm wondering how long it will be before the weight of the two of them causes the whole thing to crash to the floor. This picture makes me long for summer so we can stop bundling the kids. I love to see their little (and not so little!) legs, arms and feet.

A trip to the zoo with Frankie, Gus, Mark and Sandy - the weather wasn't optimal, but it didn't rain! We had a great time walking around the zoo and then eating a super healthy (not!) lunch on the lawn. The girls ran and ran and ran. I think Jillian was asleep the minute we buckled her in to the car.

More to come. Must head to bed so I can at least get a little sleep before Nathan's first wake up (which seems to come earlier and earlier these days)...
