Butterfly Pavillion

The girls and I spent a morning at the Butterfly Pavilion with our dear friends, Leigh, Lauren and Owen. Clara and Lauren had a ton of fun seeing the butterflies...Clara even touched a tarantula and a crab...quite brave! The second picture is the girls being butterflies. The last one of Nora cracks me up! In my last post I mentioned Nora being a Bartuska baby. Well, we Bartuskas are quite sweaty. We can just sweat thinking about it. Notice Nora's hair after being in the "Tropical Rain Forest" part of the Butterfly Pavilion! Ha!

Ten Months Old!

Wow! How time flies! Nora-baby is doing a little booty scooting and will once in a while do a full crawl, but not for very long. Not one for the tummy thing. She is also able to pull up to her knees, so we all know where this is heading. It will be no time before she is running after Clara! She is such a sweet angel...stubborn, but sweet (would you expect anything different from a Bartuska?!?!)

Way behind! Here are out latest going-ons!

We spent a fun weekend in Breckenridge with the Phams, Bories and McDoniels!
It is impossible to get four kiddos to look at the camera!
The Movie Star!
Clara wanted to eat an apple like her daddy does!

Big news in the Lynch house!

Yes, that is two lines!! We are expecting baby number three in March 2009!! I am eight weeks today. Funny, we had just decided that we wanted a third, but that we would start trying when Clara turned five. This baby will be here before Clara even turns four! We have seen the babie's heartbeat and everything looked good. I am pretty sick from when I get up till about three p.m. and then the really tired feeling starts. Oh well...only a few more weeks of this! Fun times are ahead!

What is going on with Clara!

Clara has become a huge My Little Pony fan. This is a singing, dancing and talking Pinkie Pie.
Clara wanted to be a pirate...notice both of her bears are pirates too!
We started dance this week. Clara LOVED her new tap shoes. She was tapping all around the house! She also does ballet in the class, but those shoes are not as much fun!

What is going on with Nora!

Look who found the dog water! Nora is scooting all over the place. It is just a matter of time before she figures out crawling is a lot faster!
Silly baby!
Getting a ride in the laundry basket!
Big girl in the big tub!

My new ride

I finally took the leap...I am now the proud owner of a mini van...the Honda Odyssey. I LOVE it!! It is so wonderful to push a button to open my doors!! Never say never. I swore I would never own one. In fact my mom likes to tell the story that when she was considering buying one, I told her "You can buy it, but I won't ride in it." Ha! Now it is my new favorite thing!!
