How Big is Ella?

So Big!

Julianna has asked me almost everyday this past winter if she can go out and ride her bike. Now the weather is beautiful and the kids spend most of the day outside. I am really enjoying the fact that Julianna is acting older now - I feel okay about having them outside by themselves as long as I can see and hear them. She is pretty responsible - they're both great! Last weekend we got Juli a "new" bike, and a helmet. And now Aidan has Juli's old bike - a "motorcycle" tricycle. Both kids are really enjoying their bikes these days. I love to watch Aidan "ride" his bike! My neighbor calls it "Fred Flinstone-ing". If I can get a good video, I'll post it sometime.

Papa Gibson pulled this old truck out of the garage for Aidan, who thought it was great! He was especially thrilled when he realized he could off-road with it!

Here are recent pictures of Aidan and Ella.

Julianna's New Hair-Do

Here is Julianna's new haircut.

Julianna tried her infant hand at hair design with scissors this morning before church - and was so proud, she told Daddy she "didn't even poke herself!" Mommy was hysterical ("You're scaring me, Mom!"), much to her (mom's) shame. Its just hair. But look how much she cut off! A visit to Great Clips this afternoon resulted in short hair, but not fixed hair. Julianna doesn't seem fazed at all, though after a few lengthy discussions reminding her that we leave hair-cutting to other people, hopefully, she has learned her lesson. "After" pictures to follow.
