Wrapping up Christmas...

Wrapping up? Or un-wrapping? Either one, we had two more Christmas visits....First one was at our house with Laura, Bill, Connor, Mawna, Pap, and Aunt Sandy.


Please convince these people to find out if they are having a boy or girl. ;)

Aunt Sandy was given baby Hannah to feed - look at her juggling that cup and everything!


Connor opened some gifts....


Chloe and April opened some gifts....


Chloe had asked Santa for a baby doll stroller.  While opening her stocking the day before, she made a comment of "this isn't what I asked for"......Well, Mawna told Chloe that she had received a message from someone about a particular gift....She opened it....and, ran over to both my mom and dad with giant hugs of gratitude.  Santa and Mawna are friends ;)


We hung out for the rest of the day, had a spaghetti dinner, and then this happened.  It might have been the highlight of the day for April.  She came back in after walking Cinnamon and said, "I had a great time". :)


While Connor and April were jumping on the trampoline downstairs (which Chloe had already delcaired "not very princess-y") Chloe got to "do" science with Uncle Bill.  We mixed chemicals until we had a solution that made a clear glass ornament turn silver! :)


The next morning, we went to visit Mommom Ritter and exchange gifts.  The girls got new baby dolls!





The next day, Sunday, it rained while we were leaving for church.  So some girls got to use their umbrellas! :)

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 :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
