Ok, catch up time--again! This picture was from way back on May 17th--she was teething, and crinkly wrappers are apparently the most satisfying thing around...she now has 2 bottom teeth!
S and her "White" Care Bear--she loves her 2 Care Bears, and people always ask her what their names are. The answer is simply "White Care Bear" and "Yellow Care Bear."
So S turned 4 in May. For her school party treat we borrowed ideas from Family Fun magazine, and made a fruit rainbow...
...and rainbow cupcakes.
She was NOT happy about the burning candles :P
She has ALWAYS loved music, and she was pretty excited to get this toy guitar...and also because she has a crush on the young worship leader at our church. Her actual comment was,"A guitar...like Mr. Josh" :)
She also received some fun "therapy" items too--a scooter board (great for building strength)
And ribbon streamers--also a good workout when you do it with music!
Grammy came to visit for the birthday week--yea!!
How cute is she
Yeah, not so cute when you are trying to feed her--anything. My other kids ate their first solid food (oatmeal) at 5 months like it was the best thing ever. P hasn't wanted anything to do with any of it. I even tried mixing the oatmeal with JUICE for crying out loud. I finally gave up on the oatmeal and just started trying anything. Still no luck as you can see here-- 
Finally though, Paul spent about 45 minutes one night just forcing it down her gullet, and ever since then she has come around, slowly but surely. Today for example, she ate about 8 spoonfuls each of oatmeal, green beans, and pears. A vast improvement, but still shameful for a 7 month old Sheldon :) Why do I sense that this is only the beginning of our fun with this one...?And here are a few of the kiddos Memorial Day Weekend
And last but not least, S had her last day of school last week--they had a party with a bounce house...
and P was just happy to be there...
and S with her beloved teacher, Miss Michael.

I had my first groupie experience when M was barely 7. You're starting early. You have to watch out for those good looking guys on the worship teams.
Great post! Thanks for the updates! I thought you might like to know that apparently Caleb Page apparently has NO interest in solids either and Summer has just about given up. Perhaps it has something to do with 11/10/09! Although, it sounds like you've made progress since the last time we talked. Maybe my little piggy Elizabeth can show them the ropes when we visit! =)
Okay, I'm curious...how in the world do you get the colors like that for the cupcakes?
Easy! Prepare a white cake mix, then divide batter evenly among six bowls--dye each bowl a different color with food coloring as follows: PURPLE-9 red and 6 blue drops, BLUE-12 drops, GREEN-12 drops, YELLOW-12 drops, ORANGE-12 yellow and 4 red drops, RED-18 drops. Line muffin tin with baking cups and evenly distribute the purple batter among the cups, followed by the blue, etc. If you can gently spread each layer with the back of a spoon to cover the color underneath it will come out more evenly, but I didn't worry too much about this.
