Grandpa and Grandma Visit

Over the past weekend, Kevin's parents came to visit! The visit started with an exciting event:

After an extended holiday at Mimi and Poppops (read: we forgot her on Dec. 26th....) Baby Shnookums was returned to our home by Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa got to do the honors of presenting the missing baby......Chloe was just a little excited:


and what would you do if your baby was gone for 19 days? Feed her, of course. So that's what Chloe set out to do, all while playing with Grandma and April:

We also opened Christmas presents from Kevin's aunt and uncle who we missed over the holiday. Chloe loves this microphone (it plays songs as well as records!).
and checked out a new coloring book from Grandma:
they soon discovered it also had stickers.....

and Chloe was more than willing to share!




On Saturday afternoon, we headed to a local train museum (Alison's parents and sister met us there). Here is Chloe running one of the trains!

April seemed to enjoy looking at all the displays!

3 generations of train enthusiasts:




and when we got home, Grandpa and Chloe caught up on some railroad-reading:

and Grandma taught Chloe the value of saving.....and yes, she's putting them in her bank, and a few in April's :)


April can't talk yet, but her shirt says it all!

We had a great visit :) Already looking forward to the next one!

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!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
