Life got kinda crazy busy, and I stepped away from blogging to keep up with things around here. Rather than do a bunch of little posts, I thought I’d do a big photo update of all of our little moments. Here are a whole bunch of pictures in no particular order from the last month and a half. Here we go…
Walt, coloring his Stations booklet
Saturday morning fort building
“Make oats” became “Make out.” Philip loves Siri.
Baking cookies for the preschool Easter party
After Jane finished her apple, she ran to the back door to get her shoes on. “I’m gonna plant this seed outside so that we can have an apple tree!”
“Look, Mom! I’m playing on my iPad!”
Painting during our “special time” while Jane is at preschool and Harry is napping
This little monkey learned how to open the cabinets and the food canisters. Monty is very pleased with this development!
“Mom, I made these flowers for you!”
Taking the new bike (Happy Easter!) out for a first ride
Reading one of our favorite Lent/Easter books – The Donkey That No One Could Ride by Anthony DeStefano
“It’s you and me watching a meteor shower.”
Silly selfie with Daddy
Leap Reader books rule!
Kimberly and Scott Hahn came to Lincoln!!!
My beautiful friend, Emily, graciously invited me to come with her. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with one of my dearest friends, listening to some of the most inspirational Catholic speakers and writers today.
Those eyes
“I wanted a snack.” – Jane
Huuuuuuuuuuuugs!
This was waiting for me on the toilet seat after I got out of the shower
Hugs for Harry after his afternoon nap
Building forts in the front living room
Taking his new bike for an inaugural ride
Rain can’t stop the Three Muskateers from playing outside
“Here, Walt. I’ll pump up your tires.” (No, they don’t need or take air, but they do this at least once every time we play in the driveway.)
Philip loves his birthday present from his parents–a sous vide immersion cooker. Last night, we had ribs that he cooked for 36 hours in the cooker. They were fall off the bone dee-licious!
Our latest haul from the library. How am I only now discovering the amazingness that is Tomie dePaola?! The public library system is such a treat.
Shopping for Easter clothes at Old Navy. Harry was digging the hats.
For Christmas, Philip’s parents gave us tickets to see Alton Brown. What a fun date night!
Alton Brown is undoubtedly a great chef, but he is one of the best storytellers and entertainers I’ve ever seen. It didn’t hurt that we were in the second row!
Easter selfie
Before the carrot cake went in the oven
Out of the oven with the warm buttermilk glaze
Assembled with cream cheese frosting and garnished with pecans & shredded coconut. HAPPY EASTER, INDEED!
Opening their Easter baskets (Movies, new balls, and candy)
How many more years can we get away with doing a small egg hunt in the basement?
Have a great weekend! Maybe next week I’ll pretend to be a real blogger and pump out a few posts…maybe…
