Christmas 3 & 4

We made our way to Kevin's parents the Wednesday after Christmas.  Trains were Peter's #1 priority and he got a lot of time downstairs with Daddy and Grandpa.




We got to see some of Kevin's family - April makes friends with everyone!!  At one point she shouted out "hug the one you love!" and gave Uncle Bob a huge hug :)




Thursday we hung around the house and ran out to the mall to get some energy out. Then we had our gift opening with Kevin's parents, brother, and sister-in-law.






On Friday, we headed to Poppop and Mimi's.  Peter was hungry....so he ate first ;)

April continued to love on her relatives ;)  during the gift exchange! Uncle Matt was so nice to April :)

Chloe drew Noah's name in the exchange.  My uncle made him an arrow-pen and he was LOVING it.  He liked hearing it was made from a real arrow :)




How did we ring in the New Year?  By building "lego land" in the playroom!!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
