Our Easter Weekend

Home depot tool box project.



Henry wears his new and first of many I'm sure, Bike jersey.


Such a beautiful day! We rode our bikes through the Waterfall Glen path with a lunch break at the waterfall. The boys rock-hopped and got a little wet. They were on the hunt for crawfish, but I'm not sure if they say any or not.

I like to look at past pictures and see how they've changed. Here we are on the carousel at the zoo last year and now. This particular visit today Miles took charge and really called the shots, heading to the swamp first with an alligator, birds, fish, and snakes. Henry and I had to run to keep up with him. We will have a lot of fun continuing our zoo visits this year.

Anything you can do, I can do also





This warm end of winter we've been having has us outside in the yard, out for walks, and to the parks. Its been so cool to see the boys revisit toys and bikes and playground equipment again after months of absence. Sadly it also really drives home how quickly they are growing. A tricky section to climb on the playground is suddenly tackled successfully before I know it. Both boys were excited about their accomplishments there. And I happily get to sit and enjoy watching from a few feet away on a bench. Oh how I'm ready to take a break now and again FINALLY from chasing them all through the equipment to ensure their safety.
Its also great to see the cozy coupe remain a beloved outdoor toy, also a developmental improvement from last years shuffling the feet only to go in circles. Miles has the hang of it now and has shuffled his way to and from the parks this week several times.
We've been coloring outside, eating outside, and planting outside. Warm weather sure has its share of plant and flower work, for the parents anyway, but I'm not complaining yet;)
