One more dance video from Great Wolf...

Lucas' school does a parents program at the end of the year in May. This video is Lucas performing the hand motions to one of the songs in his program. Yes, Katy Perry.

Great Wolf Lodge 2013

We spent the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge. Always a good time. I was afraid I would spend the entire time hunched over trying to keep Frances from drowning, but she did great, and loved every minute of it.

Frances putting her face in the water.

She loves it. She'll be blowing bubbles very soon.

Anything that sprayed water captured her attention.

Saturday night dinner - with five other families - 22 people around this table. A little crazy, but good times.

Eating a fish stick - she loves her food!



Saturday night after story time

Most of the kids (missing two, I think).

Checking out the water park when we first arrived on Friday afternoon.

Learning to hula hoop!

Friday night photo bomb!

This was the dance party Friday night. Lucas had a great time.

Birthday at the zoo

Frances turned one (two weeks ago!). It was a beautiful day, so we went to the zoo! Lucas loves to take pictures so I decided to give him one of our old cameras. He took all the pictures below, except for the two he's in and the very last two pictures of Frances. I did no editing! He is going to be a great photographer some day! Heck! He IS a great photographer! Happy Birthday, Frances! 

Frances is 1!

Our baby turned one last Sunday. We had an eventful weekend. Friday we went bowling, Saturday we had her birthday party, and Sunday we went to the zoo - It was a beautiful sunny day :) She is now almost 18 pounds (17.12 to be exact), she has 7 teeth, walking everywhere, starting to climb (has fallen off a few things so far), loves to dance and sing, enjoys swimming, and most of all LOVES her big brother. We are very proud of her.

Baby's heart

two and a half weeks old

eleven and a half months old

Frances had her one year check up with the cardiologist. She is doing great. The holes in her heart are closing. Couldn't get any pictures of her getting her ultrasound, so above, is Frances getting her EKG.  The upper hole (ASD) is almost gone and her lower hole (VSD), which was the most concerning one, is 1.5 mm, which at her two week appt. was 4 mm. So! All is looking good! She goes back in two years, hopefully to see that her holes are completely closed. :) Yeah!

Walking!
