Mid April

Last Saturday Brian was photographing a wedding, so I took the kids over to my parent's house for day. We have a new Dunkin' Donuts close to our house. The kids were thrilled when I decided to stop at the drive through on the way to Papa and Nana's house.

We got the boys matching hats for Easter. They look adorable.

Greta likes to dunk balls in her basketball hoop.

Yesterday Eli lost his first tooth the natural way yesterday! He was so excited and out it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy. He was happy to find two dollars under his pillow this morning.

Daddy took him out for a donut on the way to school yesterday to celebrate losing his first tooth. 

We had fun decorating Easter eggs this afternoon.

We made glitter Easter eggs!

Early April

My Mom held onto my favorite doll, my My Child Doll whom I named Beth. I gave her to Greta to play with for the first time yesterday and it was so sweet to see Greta cuddle her and walk around with her. It is amazing to see the difference between girls and boys at such young ages. I am glad Greta can play with her too.

Greta may need some work on carrying the baby around though. Haha!

Asa and I had fun snap chatting yesterday! He makes a cute bunny.

Asa and I had fun playing his alphabet memory matching game yesterday.

I picked Eli up from preschool yesterday and took him out for a date at Caribou Coffee. He liked eating a huge tulip cookie.

Eli's teacher emailed us some more cute pictures of him at school.

Yesterday Eli told me that they got to create a volcano and see it erupt outside!

Greta loves to ride her horse.

Last week I took Asa out for a special Mother and Son lunch.

Asa loves to give Greta hugs.

Eli and his class all ready for their spring concert last week!

Last Saturday was a beautiful day. We had a great time spending the day at Papa and Nana's house. Nana rocked Greta to sleep and the rest of us went for a pretty hike with Papa in the woods.

Eli's Preschool Spring Program

We were excited to watch Eli sing in his school concert!

Eli did an awesome job singing in his school program this past Tuesday evening.

Eli and the other preschool classes singing "He Has the Whole World in His Hands".

Eli is standing next to his good friend Daniel. They enjoy playing in the dirt and digging deep holes at recess together.

Eli is so big! It is hard to believe he will already be a kindergartner this fall!

Feels Like Spring

We have been thrilled to have warm spring weather this week. The kids have been outside enjoying the sunshine we had the past few days and we have made trips to the park. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at SpringBrook Nature Center hiking through the woods. The boys are already looking for bugs!

Greta loves to swing!

Asa and Eli are awesome climbers

Greta enjoys having Daddy spin her around.

Eli loves to organize just like his mama. The other day we found him organizing our pantry for us!

Yesterday morning my dear friend Jenny and I went for a sunny walk at Elm Creek Park on the nature trails. Jenny and I have been close friends since the first day of grad school back in 2005. I thought she looked like someone I would be good friends with and I invited her to sit with me. I am happy to say I was right! We are similarly minded and we have the best conversations.
