Sweet Girls
Thursday, April 3, 2014
Caroline, Lydia and Charlotte being so sweet together. Eloise (Caroline and Charlotte's new baby sister was watching from afar). In 4 more weeks there will be a new baby boy to join the girls!
Willie Bear and Galveston
This past weekend, Lydia got to bring home the class pet...a large brown bear named Willie. We took him everywhere and took many pictures of Willie Bear. Lydia wanted to dress just like him. We took him to eat ice cream and then sushi. We buckled him in the car seat. Blair took Lydia, Brendan and Kiernan to Galveston for the night on Saturday. There Willie Bear got to see the cruise ships, ride and drive the boat and fish off the dock! Blair got some great pictures for Lydia's class to see. Kiernan wasn't as impressed with Willie Bear as we all were...
Update: January - March 2014 (part 2)
More updates with the Arterburys:
Lydia was so lucky to get to go to 2 Princess birthday parties...she loved Belle at Evann's party
At Layton's party, Princess Ariel came to visit. Lydia is dressed up as Anna from Frozen (she's a little obsessed with this movie lately).
Lydia is showing off her new jewels at the Princess party: earrings, necklace, rings...
Here is a great comparison of Lydia and Kiernan that Cousin Lindsey put together. They are both around 6-7 months in this picture and chewing on the same toy. They look nothing alike.

For my birthday this year, we went and ate Greek food and my Mom made a delicious lemon cake. I've been craving lemon desserts recently. I've started my 8th month of pregnancy here. Our baby boy is growing great and so am I.
Honey took Lydia on a special outing to the Alley Theater to see The Wizard of Oz. Lydia had never been to a real live play before and apparently she loved it! I'm glad she's into the arts.

Even though I haven't blogged since Christmas, there has been a lot going on with us. Check out all the pictures and captions about what we've (really Lydia) has been up to...
Lydia receives 7 tutus for christmas and puts them on all at the same time! She loves dress up, whether in Princess dresses or tutus.
Nana's birthday dinner: Lydia helps Nana choose her birthday mini bundt cake with Aunt Mary
Mom turned 65 this year so we celebrated with wine.
Cousin Lindsey took Lydia to the zoo on MLK day.
Snow day at school: Lydia loved the snow and sledding
Lydia and Charlotte played with the snow and ate a lot of it.
Daddy helped Lydia with the sleds down the hill.
Lydia and Kiernan hanging out. Lydia is a great big cousin to Kiernan.
Lydia is really into princesses and uses this sheet as Rapunzel's hair. She loves to run around with the sheet on her head playing "Tangled".
January and February were really cold months this year. Lydia would wake up and go make sure Harley was covered with a blanket no matter where she was in the morning (usually on the chair or couch). This particular morning, I walked in and asked what was going on. Lydia had turned on the tv all by herself and said that Harley really wanted to watch the Olympics.
Lydia got her new "big sister bed". We got her a queen size frame and moved her bed into the middle of the room like a big girl. She has loved it and it's really helped her sleeping (meaning she rarely gets up in the middle of the night now).
Another cold morning where she made sure Harley was warm with blankets. I know Harley loves it as she doesn't move a muscle when Lydia wraps her up.
Valentine's Day: she looks so old in this picture!
On Valentine's Day, a neighbor got a special visit from Elmo. Lydia, Emma and Layton loved his visit.
We went to a fundraiser at the Butterfly Museum and Lydia had fun. This picture was taken as we were waiting for our car to go home...obviously she was upset we were leaving all the fun.
Lydia at the Children's Museum. Cousin Lindsey took her on a no school day and she had a blast.
Rodeo Time: Lydia loved the livestock show - she loved meeting Bevo too!
At Lydia's school auction: We had a lot of fun with our friends (you can totally tell I'm 7 month pregnant here)
Lydia on "Go Texan Day": those boots are her Uncle Paul's boots from when he was her age. She loves them!
Lydia started swim lessons at the end of February: She smiles so big when she jumps in!
Who is the most photogenic here? Of course it's Kiernan! She's the happiest baby and so sweet. She loves to cuddle and snuggle. So does Lydia in this picture. And yes, I'm getting bigger and bigger.
