Recent Pics...

 I don't really have anything new to report from the Keating household.  After an almost completely healthy winter, the last 2 weeks have been filled with various fevers, stomach bugs and colds.  So far no one has been sick for more than a day or two, however Noah is currently in bed complaining of a sore throat, ear pain and also has had a fever since yesterday - so hopefully he can get a good night sleep and wake up better tomorrow!  Other than that, we've just been continuing our days of school, playdates, MOPS, playing outside, and lots and lots of coloring projects.  Here are some pictures of our recent activity...
**************************
Micah gets TONS of attention from his older 2 brothers...and loves it - can you tell?!
 Noah loves listening to the Curious George books on tape that we have, and will kneel like this for as long as I let him just listening to all the stories.
 My mom and Micah:)
 Guess who's rolling these days??!
 We typically do school at our kitchen table and here is Caleb working on some math pages...
Noah is a very hands-on type of kid and loves building things with his magnet shapes during his school time.
 Micah is much more vertical these days - he loves being upright in the bumbo, exercauser, or jumping on someone's lap who is willing to work out their biceps!
 My 4 precious boys:)
 Typical sleeping picture of Micah:
 This was a very forced picture - it was right before church one Sunday and I thought they looked so nice all dressed up, but I had to do a lot of coaxing to get this shot....
 Caleb and Micah!
 And here is Micah's 4 month old picture, although I was off when I guessed his weight - he only weighed in at 15lbs 1oz at his checkup the next day.
 We met my family for lunch at the Rockhill home where my grandparents live last Sunday, and here is Caleb drinking his chocolate milk while he waited for his food:)
 The boys just brought home Veggie Tales "Larry Boy and the Angry Eyebrows" from the library, and this is Noah showing me his angry eyebrows!
After lunch at Rockhill, we went back to my grandparents' apartment to watch golf and the boys got to hang out in Gigi's room watching TV.
Noah loves helping me bake and just recently started using the mixer once in awhile!
This morning was an Easter egg "hunt" (you may notice there is not a whole lot of actual hunting that takes place!) at Highland park that Caleb had to do solo while Noah was home sick.  He did a great job collecting tons of eggs to share with his brother.
 Pop checking out Caleb's loot!
I snuck in Noah's fort today to get a quick picture of him resting:)  
 And last but not least, this is our new playroom!  The boys and I have been spending a lot of afternoons up here recently converting this room from total storage area to actual usable space!  There is still some decorating (and fixing the ceiling where we had a leak awhile ago) that could happen eventually, but for now - it's space and it's glorious!  I had been starting to feel rather claustrophobic in our house recently with 3 growing boys, and this just opens up a whole new world for me.  I think we can finally host people with kids and not feel like we are in total chaos the whole time from everyone being on top of each other!

These pictures are great. I love how Micah sleeps with his hands in the air! We missed you guys at church today. Tell Noah we needed his voice during Holy Holy Holy.
See you on Wednesday!
