Ainsley Marin is 17 weeks old!  She surprised us by rolling over two days ago.  Twice in a row!  We've only seen it two times since then, but she's on her way. Her back is getting so strong and she can sit in her boppy pillow toy for quite some time without falling forward.  She's staying awake for hours in a row during the day and is somewhat starting to get a regular morning and afternoon nap schedule.  She seems to be wanting to feed less these days, although she doesn't appear to be losing any weight. 

Aidan Kane is 22 months old.  His word of the week is "alright". He ends every statement and question with that word "Hey guys, hurry, alright."  He's enjoying his "wiggle worm" class at Maplewood.  Learning lots of new songs and playing with other boys, which is nice because he has three sisters to compete with each day).  When it's time to go into the gym halfway through class, he heads straight for the basketball hoop and football bin even though there are about 15 other activities in the gym, from a bouncy house to slides, rings, climbing toys, etc. etc.  He loves football!

Kaelin Avery is looking forward to her 3rd birthday tomorrow.  She wanted a "my pretty pony" cake and is very into horses these days, so we have a few horsey presents for her (she wants a real one, but that will have to wait!).  We always have to drive very slowly by the farm a couple miles away when we pass it so she can scream "my horsey, my brown horsey!" when she sees her favorites.  It looks like they have riding lessons there so we might have to look into that in a few years.  Kaelin and Keeley have been doing great in the class they starting taking together at Maplewood, it's called "Head over Heels" and is all about gymnastics, tumbling, balance, etc.

Keeley Shea is 4 years and 3 months old. She seems to have grown up so much the past couple of months. She's finally out of her phase of whining when she wants something or doesn't get her way. She's really become such a great big sister and role model for the rest of the gang.  Keeley still enjoys her regular gymnastics class at Arnold's Gymnastics Academy and Kaelin will be joining her there in a couple of months as soon as she's old enough.  Keeley said that white is her new favorite color because "white is for weddings" and "I'm going to marry Aidan, Ryan (her cousin) and Arthur (her friend in CA)" she then went on to say that she was in love with them all.

The kids had a great Easter. Ainsley's first and the rest of the gang's most memorable Easter so far. We had the O'Shea clan over and the Easter Bunny brought lots of candy and some presents too (Keeley was very curious about how he could possible carry everything, especially the gymnastic mats, since he doesn't have elves or a sleigh). We got see Mikey and Tracey for the first time since they got engaged in Paris in February, they are planning an October 2007 wedding on the coast in Maine.  Grandma and Grandpa Pierzchalski will be starting their drive from Wisconsin tomorrow, stopping in Ohio for a night, and we'll see them in two days!
