Menke Babies: March 2012
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Here comes Peter Cottontail. Alyssa is sooooo excited about Easter. She can remember the Easter Bunny coming last year and finding eggs filled with candy. Since I put out the Easter decorations a week or two ago, she's been asking "Is it Easter? Last weekend, the Mom's group at the church had an Easter party. Upon arrival, she wanted to go see the Easter Bunny, but she wasn't ready to sit on his lap just yet. Alyssa ate all of hers and Lauren just at the M&Ms off the top. Lauren i...

Menke Babies: December 2012
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. The Sights and Sounds of Christmas. As you can tell it was a busy semester, so much so that I didn't get a single post written, but here we are, nearing the end of 2012 and after a wonder-filled Holiday season. So rather than trying to recap the past three months, I thought I'd just reflect on the past month or so for it really was a merry time. We had several other Christmas parties that we all enjoyed before we left for Minnesota on the 21st. Our week in Minnesota was fil...

Menke Babies: Good bye curl
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2011/08/good-bye-curl.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. We've been doing ponytails over the summer, and we've gone through all sorts of variations on the standard ponytail. There was a phase where we had to have 5 or 6 ponytails at a time. So Aaron brought her to the salon yesterday while I was getting my cut and we had my stylist cut hers too. They had these great little wagon chairs for her to sit in, and they even turned on My Little Ponies. She wore a Toy Story apron and sat like a big girl. Here she is before. A day at the beach.

Menke Babies: Can I go to preschool now?
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2012/09/can-i-go-to-preschool-now.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Can I go to preschool now? Ever since one of Alyssa's best day care buddies left day care and started preschool last fall, Alyssa has been talking about going to preschool. We started the search for a preschool in January and soon found that many of the options we were considering were either too expensive or wouldn't work with our schedules. Several friends had recommended Milestones. When I picked her up, she was smiling. She told me it was so fun! Can I go to preschool now?

Menke Babies: June 2012
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Do you remember when you were a kid and always wanted to be older than you were? That's Lauren right now, she keeps insisting that she's "three" and not "two". To be perfectly honest, I think it's more of a game right now to her, but it's still kind of cute. Lauren celebrated her second birthday last week. It was a fun day, kind of a quiet celebration as it was just the four of us, but it was fun nonetheless. The last present was a princess four wheeler; she tried it out and enjoy...

Menke Babies: April 2012
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 11, 2012. She insisted on wearing it to the grocery store that night as well. Lauren caught in on the excitement for a little while that night. They drew quite a bit of attention at the grocery store. I lost count of how many people that they made laugh or smile. Friday, April 6, 2012. And then the little stinker has started trying to climb out of her crib. Yesterday morning when Aaron went to get her up, she was in the process of pulling her second leg over the top of the side of th...

Menke Babies: Fair fun
http://babymenke.blogspot.com/2012/08/fair-fun.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2012. We have been on the go a good bit this summer, so we enjoyed a much slower pace this past weekend. It was nice because it was just us - no plans with anyone else, just Menke family time (not that we don't love our time with friends and family too! We decided to go the Kent County Youth Fair. In Lowell, which is the next town to the west of us. We weren't sure what to expect, but we thought we'd check it out. There was a special on rides until 6, so that was our first stop. A...
