Here are a few pictures from the past week or so. The weather has finally started to warm up a little bit, allowing for the kids to enjoy some time outside, between all the rainy days. Katelyn has been practicing her soccer in anticipation of another season, though her first two games have been rained out. And Titus has been quite enamored with his new football that Grammy got for him.
But we feel like we've been couped up in the house for the past 5 months. Spring has been very slow in coming.
A small grin from Elise.
Enjoying a lunch out on the deck.
If it is spring, it must be time to break out the mower. How little does he knows what awaits him in a few years.
Lydia with her pigtails.
Daddy trying, often in vain, to stop Katelyn from scoring. She's working on her "dragster" move.
Tractors aren't just for Titus.
Believe it or not, he was actually able to get some good kicks off with this method. I think the boy is right handed/footed, but he likes to use his left foot a lot.
Lydia trying to keep up with the soccer players.
The football is a little big for him to throw one handed, so he has to do a two handed toss. He flings the whiffle ball much better.
The Lamont kids (minus Carter who was running around) at the hospital the day after Elise was born.
So far no jealousy from Lydia for this baby girl that is hogging all of mommy's time. We'll see what happens when there are not grandparents around to play with.
The fun that a box from Aldi brings. This was their van and they played with it for quite a while one evening after I had brought home groceries after work. Apparently they traveled all over the country in it. Who knew an Aldi box could get out and back from Kansas so quickly?
A good picture of the kids. Can you tell which of our kids has the most "personality?"
Sleeping on mommy is always so comfy.
Titus really enjoys his new baby sister as well, despite the fact he's really outnumbered now. Fortunately at this age, gender just really doesn't register with any of the kids.
