<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Holden turned five last week and we celebrated with a party of his choice, a pirate party at Pump It Up (bounce house place). We got him a '5' shirt that he is proud to wear. He claims that he can run faster now that he is five. But he is showing some reluctance to 'growing up'. He wants to stay at his preschool (not go to kinder next year), and just doesn't want to 'grow'. He can be very charming and loves to cuddle with any adult but he also will revert to baby talk,crawling or even short tantrums, more like a three or four year old. He is hanging on to being the baby in the family and it is showing at school. It came up in his teacher meeting today. His teacher is terrific with him, all the kids really, and made some good advice and recommended the book 'It's Hard to Be 5' by Jamie Lee Curtis. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">We will be doing more talking about how great it is that we have all big kids now that Holden is five and all the fun things we can do now as a family, recognizing his good 'big boy' behavior and validating his feelings but teaching him appropriate 'actions'. I didn't know it was going to be this hard to be five. It is certainly a big milestone for us as a family. Life with six year olds and a five year old is freer and fun. They are amazing beings and it is fun to see their personalities evolve and independence emerge. Through our trials we are having a pretty good time.</span><br />

<br />
Holden enjoys sharing. His favorite pastime is cutting and pasting, making cards, books or other sculptural gifts for his family and friends. When he is not crafting, he likes building block castles with his older triplet siblings. He also has a knack for lego construction and has created many unique vehicles and even a rendition of Perry the Platypus. Holden is an animal lover and has two pet frogs, Perry (named after the former) and Penelope, as well as a calico cat named JoJo. <br />

He also enjoys the outdoors, going on hikes, collecting rocks or riding his scooter. He will often offer to sell items from his treasure trove of found objects. One day he aspires to open his own store or become a pirate.<br />

<br />It has been busy as we ramp to Easter. The kids have been hiding and searching for eggs in the yard for several weeks now. They all had elaborate Easter parties at school. The day of the parties Will said ' it was the best day of my life'.<br />

In other news, we have moved Holden up to the boys bunk room. Lily didn't want to be left out so has been sleeping with them too. The transition has been a lot smoother than we anticipated. Holden said it was 'awesome' and 'I love you!'. Right away he started sleeping through the night in his own bed rather than joining us in the middle of the night. He also started doing more things on his own like making his bed and buckling his car seat. So he must feel more like a big kid now.<br />

We had a wonderful time in Antigua at Veronica and John's wedding. The friends of the bride and groom stayed in these four casitas with adjoining courtyard. We were treated to a homemade breakfast in house each day, then spent our days exploring, visiting the local sites and hanging around the pool. The town is a maze of cobblestone streets, peppered with antique churches and surrounded by volcanoes. The guys were lucky to see a volcano erupt smoke while they were on the golf course.<br />

The city was festive. In preparating for Easter holy days all the churches were decorated with these sawdust drawings. On sunday there was a huge parade through town which drew hundreds of thousands of spectators.<br />

Antigua was the original capital of Guatamala and has many churches over 500 years old. They have been damaged by numerous earthquakes, but still very beautiful.<br />

Holden relaxing the day after the party in the tent David constructed for him. This photo was taken through our front door window pane so I wouldn't disturb him.<br />
<br />
The tent still needs the finishing touches...the fabric will be made from a cute dinosaur print sheet, it just needs to be hemmed and add elastic bands to secure. But the kids seem perfectly content with the makeshift sheet.<br />

Merry Christmas to you all! We just returned from the children's mass at church....we lasted 5 minutes more than last year....progress? We are soon off to celebrate Christmas Eve at David's sister's house with all our family. <br />
<br />
Looking forward to seeing the kids faces in the morning when they see what Santa has brought. Will asked for Santa to bring his lovey 'Blue Dog' which has been missing over a year and a half, he has been talking a lot lately about how much he misses him....and even though Blue Dog is not made anymore, thanks to eBay he is returning!<br />
<br />
This next week will hopefully be a lazy week, David is home all week and Amanda will be helping most afternoons so we may get to catch up on sleep, some reading and a few house projects. Evan want's Dad to teach him how to ride his bike without the training wheels, I think it was this time last year when David taugh Will. And maybe the kids will settle down from the Christmas high that has lasted all of December. It has been a frenzy of joy and mischief around here. <br />
<br />

The pre-k classes were the angel corus in the school Christmas pageant. There were six songs to learn, numerous rehearsals and lots of pillow case ironing. Finally, the big day is here.<br />

David made it home just in time to see the pageant. His flight arrived after two in the morning. He was rewarded for his late travels with the sweetest little voices. And a very impressive job by the teachers to get everyone to particiapte with ribbons and halos intact.<br />

There has been a constant stream of festivities ever since Thanksgiving. Holden's three's pageant was yesterday, it was a 'pick up' pageant where every child can be whatever they would like to be in the christmas story...there doesn't just have to be just one Mary, or angel or sheep or whatever. Holden as you can see selected to be a king. He looked so sweet and actively participated, remembering the words to the songs. By the end when we were allowed to snap photos he had his crow pulled down and was being silly.<br />

Lily's art school had a show this week. She attends weekly classes with KP, a talented art teacher who holds classes in her home studio. They are introduced to different master artists each week so you will see that influence. Lily loves her creative time and has made new friends. No surprise, she feels most comfortable hanging with the few boys in the class.</div>

Lily also had a dance presentation of the nutcraker this week...or as she says 'the nut show'. I needed my action setting for these photos, they are a blur but you can kinda get an idea of how much fun she is having expressing her self...and having mom's undivided attention. It was a low key, in class presentation so I got a few cuddles in between songs. Btw - her class has four set of twins!! </div>

This ballet/tap/jazz class is followed by lunch with the theather. The boys and I watched the puppet show presentation after school. It's been a good outlet for her to have all this creative time on Monday's while the boys are in school. </div>

Lily lost her first tooth on David's birthday and her second bottom tooth the day before Thanksgiving. She noticed her first tooth missing while taking a bath, we were out to dinner but our babysitter texted us so we had time to plan for the fairy visit. <br />
<br />
We had rose petals from our table at dinner, so I scattered those around her and we put a coin under her pillow. We didn't have any dollar coins so we improvised and used one of the pretty Australian coins from David's business trip. She looked so sweet sleeping in a bed of rose petals, I wish I had captured a photo. The boys were a bit envious and are hoping to get a tooth fairy visit soon. Now we are prepared and have a stash of gold dollar coins.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Pow Wow. <br />

Black foot and his owl totem.<br />
<br />
The American Indian unit at school ended with a fabulous pow wow. The kids crafted their own costumes, the boys made shields and the girls crafted<span style="background-color: yellow;"> babies</span> wrapped in a papooses. Evan's class made intricate totem poles. Their teachers are impressively creative.<br />

The kids requested robots this year, so we created these homemade costumes. The robots turned out great. Only they were easy to trip in and they kids would be stuck on their robot tummies and needed to be repeatedly rescued. At least the box prevented any injuries when they hit the concrete.<br />

Holden and I spied this gorgeous Montana Christmas tree on Friday afternoon. That night we bundled up the kids in pjs and jackets and braved the cold, wet weather to claim it. The kids sang to us on our way, joyful and loud. They have been practicing their Christmas songs at school and home in preparation for their upcoming pageant. They sang their favorite song, 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' to the Christmas tree guys and were rewarded with candy canes.</div>

We managed to hold the kids off until morning for the trimming of the tree. They were up bright and early, with seemingly endless energy, bouncing around and chanting about tree decorating. <br />
<br />
These photos are somewhat misleading, they convey a sense of tranquility and peace. In reality, the kids were hopping around, falling all over themselves. David demonstrated amazing focus by expertly hanging the lights with kids underfoot trying to assist and my 'helpful' pointers 'more lights, just a few more'.<br />

We were treated to a gorgeous Thanksgiving day, blue skies and plenty of sunshine. This morning we ran the annual Turkey Trot with the kids and 20,000 Austinites. It was a great race, with nice views of downtown and a downhill second half. It felt great to cross the finish line. <br />
<br />
The rest of the day we relaxed at Grammy and Papa's and enjoyed a delicious meal. It was a full house, there were 17 of us which made for a festive day. Here, Lily is showing me her additions to our Thanksgiving tree, the kids hung leaves with things they are thankful for. Lily is thankful for her family, kindness and happiness.<br />

Our traditional first day of school photos on the front porch...Will, Evan and Lily are now in Pre-K and Holden moved up to the 3s class. Lily is in a 4-day Pre-K class so that they could each have their own class. We enrolled her in a dance preschool for Mondays - ballet, tap, jazz and theater. </div>

excerpts from letter to David from Will <br />
<br />
Dear Daddy,<br />
<br />
We saw the Magic Kingdom with GG and Audrey. It was the <u>best</u> day ever! My favorite ride is the Buzz light year ride. We went three times. There was a pirate ride that was fun...and a haunted house ride, kind of scary - but not too scary. I wanted to go again. We saw the castle. We saw lots of fireworks. <br />
<br />
I love you, Will.<br />
<br />
Holden's favorites - Monorail, It's a Small World, hotel water slide <br />
Evan's favorites - Tiki Bird (robot birds), Buzz ride and Pirates<br />
Lily's highlights - Haunted house, seeing Cinderella and the other characters<br />
<br />

A few snapshots from our afternoon trip to neighboring Rosemary Beach. The resort is beautiful, everywhere you turn there are gorgeous homes, cobblestone streets and grassy parks woven through the town. This sweet park has darling playhouses and a big grass covered hill to race down on sandy trails.<br />

We had a wonderful vacation. I'm really to tired to post but we are at my mom's and off to Disney tomorrow so I thought I better capture a few thoughts before our next adventure begins. Let me just say that the beach is my favorite place to be. I love the sound of the waves, the salty air, long walks on the beach looking for seashells, the fresh seafood, the relaxed atmosphere. Bliss.<br />
<br />
The owners were so kind, they let us stay an extra couple of nights no charge, since the next guests were not due until Tuesday. We savored our extra days and celebrated our last night with lobster tails from our favorite seafood market Buddy's...they will steam your shrimp, scallops or lobster to go. We picked up Buddy's most nights as why mess with perfection.<br />
<br />

We spent hours swimming, wave riding and boating. David was the rafting tour guide. Our four were bouncing around, giggling, having a grand time. A man passed by and convinced Holden to get in the boat with his siblings. He only felt out once but David scooped him right up.<br />
<br />

That smile melts my heart, what a love bug. He can be a terror one minute and a charmer the next. I think that sums up the toddler years. Holden and Evan are always ready for a cuddle with me which is nice, until they end up in a tugging fight over who gets prime seating in my lap. I'm trying to soak it up as much as I can before they get too big to want to be held. Will on the other hand is all about Dad, he got lots of special one on one time surfing with Dad and was pretty proud to be hanging with Dad, commenting on how similar they were - even the same cold after getting out of the ocean.<br />
<br />

Holden likes to follow his big brother around, and wants the same things, the same color popsicle, whatever, if Will likes it, he wants it too. They are all getting so big. We marked their heights on the measuring wall at McBeach, they all grew ~4" over the year. Holden is not far behind the trio in height.<br />

Surfer girl Lily has her own ideas and is confident, independent and strong. She is a mother hen and calls her brothers, her boys.<br />

We were so glad Grammy and Papa could join, as well as my Mom and David's cousin Don. <br />

We can't get enough of these great beach sunsets. The evenings are gorgeous. Evan says the sky is 'awesome mom'.<br />
