Happy 7th Birthday to our Biggest Monkey!

A peek at our little monkey

We all got to peak at our littlest monkey yesterday. She was being very stubborn and just chillaxin' inside Mama. She did give us a thumbs up at one point - perhaps a little sass? She is measuring at 13 oz. (64%) and doing great!

Everyone is noticing Mama's bellow growing now....

April Showers, May Flowers, and Spring Power!

So this Spring, we sold our first home to a lovely couple. We got to say good-bye to it. So many amazing memories of Mama and Daddy's first home - their wedding, bringing home Elias, the dinner parties..... that school house rocked!

Mama's tulips came up in full glory this year. It was marvelous.....

Springtime means that we get to get back onto the soccer pitch again. All three Flora boys strapped up for the field.....

And we love to watch our Indy Eleven!

This boy gets so excited to get dressed for soccer each Monday!

Elias' team (Chili)

Elias got a special surprise at the last home game. He waved hello to the keeper Jon Busch and was given his gloves. Elias loves the keeper position. He loves Busch. He adores the gloves and wears them every day.
