Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! (Yes I wanted to get this up right after Easter, but sometimes it takes me a week to get time to download pictures and post them.)
We had a great Easter - the traditional Church, coloring eggs, Easter baskets, and egg hunt. It is fun to see how magical everything is for Jack at this age. Tim and Chris were able to hunt this year - and like Jack at that age, they found one egg and were happy. And of course, it was Kate's first Easter. Here are way too many pictures :)

And now for way too many "my first Easter" pictures :)

This girl is going to have way to much pink in her life. That is how it goes when you come after three older brothers! 

Spring is Here

Spring is here. We had a mild winter, so I can't really complain, but I love beautiful weather and spending lots of time out side :)
I have been trying to find parks that are twin friendly - which means parks that have a rubbery surface so they don't eat the wood chips or sand on the ground. Tim has found a love for the slide.

Chris is almost a full time walker!

First there was football, then dinosaurs, and now Jack has developed a new interested - birds. We went to sea world and told Jack he could pick one stuffed animal. I thought it would be either the killer whale or polar bear. No, he picked the flamingo. He loves to watch national geographic/discovery channel type videos of birds. He plays with his birds all the time now. Note the yellow hat in the pictures. Jack has made that his bird nest :).

Now that spring is here, wouldn't you know it, a bird showed up and made a nest on our front porch. Jack LOVES it.

Jack would like to introduce, "Nesty," the little red robin living on our porch
