We made it! And we're lovin' the pool

We stopped at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta on our way to Florida

03.29.12

I have a feeling we'll get a lot of use out of the iPad

03.28.12

Ummmm.....I think we have a problem...

03.27.12

What would a house with two little-ish girls do without detangler?

These girls love watching ladybugs (and bugs in general)

Lauren making a map of our journey to Florida. I suppose if we get lost we can always reference this.

If you're ever wondering what the biggest number in the whole wide world looks like, here you go!

It was a great Fun Night at Lauren's school. Amongst the prizes that the girls scored were these sticky hands. :)

Spring has sprung!

Dinner at The Butler then time to feed the ducks their dinner

Flip flops...a sure sign of warm weather.

A beautiful evening in Saugatuck. We fed ducks, walked along the waterfront, and enjoyed yummy Kilwin's ice cream!

A couple cuties ready to participate in Holland's St. Patrick's Day parade. It was a beautiful day for it. Lauren and Mom passed out candy while Dad and Allie pulled the Chemical Bank float.

03.16.12

A sampling of Young Fives work from the week. I especially like the graphic organizer on the left. Lauren wrote or drew ways that families cooperate. She included us counting, playing catch, playing musical instruments, and the fourth...our family "sin" together. She says the word is "sinG". Oh, how important one letter can be!

03.15.12

We're in the midst of a Lego phase at our house...and everybody likes to participate, even Dad and Mom

03.14.12

80 degree weather in mid-March? We'll take it!

Time to get out the swings and rings after their winter hibernation in the garage

Our Student of the Week on Calendar duty :)

Doctor Lauren helping Allie's foot feel better. There is rarely an injury in the VanOmmen house that cannot be fixed with an ice pack, a band-aid, and/or a cuddle.

03.10.12

We headed to Saugatuck to check out the Kewatin

03.09.12

I love how much Allie learns from Lauren...well, at least at moments like these :)

Lauren, Allie, and a pile of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals

And it's out!

Somebody's got a super-loose tooth
