and a half

The end of February and beginning of March bring half birthdays in the Kent house.  We typically don't celebrate the half way mark but Natalie's class celebrates half birthdays for all the summer babies. 
She was so excited to bring princess sparkle cupcakes for all her friends (with a Disney princess ring on top of coarse)!

Natalie wore a crown, got a balloon on her chair and came home with "birthday bunny"...who knew so much fun went into a school birthday?!

This 4 1/2 year old had a GREAT day.  Natalie is growing and learning everyday.  She is very coordinated and loves to bike, jump rope, and throw balls.  She gives school her all and loves to do crafts.  Her pictures of people are becoming more and more detailed (mommy has eyelashes now!).  Natalie is a lovely bundle of ENERGY who keeps us laughing and on our toes!

 Just a few days later a certain Mr. Stratton turned 2 1/2.   We didn't do anything too special but this weekend Strat went with daddy to play his first 9 holes :)  The Easter bunny or someone needs to bring this guy at left handed club...He seems to be right handed but golfs left handed like his dad :)  Stratton is a really special 2 1/2 year old.  He is quite thoughtful, smart and just a lovely guy.  He is so much fun!

 And while I'm on the subject of "halfs"...I am almost at the half way point of my pregnancy!  Yippee!  I am just starting to feel like myself again (such a relief!) and have been busy cleaning out drawers and going through clothes to make up for the past 4 months of just getting through the basics of the day.  We will see the doctor in a few weeks for our 20 week ultrasound.  We are excited to find out the gender but are just praying for a healthy check up!
