Lucy's Trick

There have been a few priviledged people that have seen Lucy's trick. For those that haven't, here it is. WARNING: May not be suitable for all viewers.

The First Bicycle

This is Lucy's first bike. She picked her bike by how she could ride it instead of how it looked. We had almost given up on buying anything that didn't have the Disney Princess logo on it. There is hope. Since Owen is just inheriting the tricycle for the time being he got a t-ball set. We went to an ACU baseball game the other day and he hasn't stopped talking about it. So, it's spring training here for the Wilkinson Wildcats.

The Family Retreat

We just got home from a short but full weekend at the HEB Family Retreat. We had a really good time just as everyone said we would. I actually love living in Abilene but the scenery is a little blah compared to the Northwest. So this was a special treat for us to be able to spend some time amongst trees and a river doing things like canoeing and pretend-fishing. Hopefully we can go again while we live here.

April's It List

Owen- Sleeping in his new toddler bed, his lizard pajamas, praying, playing "horse" with Lucy*, shoulder rubs, his pop-pops (flip-flops) and begging to go somewhere, anywhere.

Lucy- Learning with her educational workbooks (she always sighs "ugh, I guess I'll just go learn")**, coloring, princess yahtzee, exercising on the gazelle (what joy) and begging for a cat and a bicycle.

Jenny- Classic movies, The Biggest Loser, the Gazelle, Jason's Deli, trying to go green and Color Storm on the Webkinz site.

Kevin- WWII movies, college basketball, learning German, finishing school and finding a job.

*Horse is when Lucy and Owen run around the house with his arms around her waist.
**She mostly just traces the numbers and letters. There is no rigid schedule.
