Contemplating which came first the candy or the egg.

Spring Celebration

Celebrated the arrival of spring this weekend with Grandma, Papa, Aunt Jeanette, Uncle Dave, Evan and Nick. What a beautiful weekend for it too. And no spring celebration is complete without a visit from that bunny....

I just included these two pictures of Gavin not because they are the best pictures I have seen, but because he looks so OLD! He looks like a little boy in these. No toddler anymore.

Evan and Nick looking through their loot

Wow Nick! Good hunting... you found a big present!
Chloe's princess hat
Besides eggs, the bunny brings little presents. The bunny cleverly hid this one on the back of the couch. Gavin, you are a super sleuth.
Yes, Chloe's basket is wearing a tutu.

Gavin's truck basket

And what would an annual celebration of spring be without outside time? Luckily, NY weather decided to cooperate. Here is Gavin with his buddy, worm. He toted this guy around for a while!
All checking out the worm except Nick. He is doing his own thing. :)
They don't LOOK happy here, but they really were having a good time!

March in Colorado

The chickens and Max are getting big. They are almost all feathered out except for their heads now.

Gianna is six months old today - no idea where the last six months went, I know I didn't sleep them away.


This was snow storm last week. 70 degrees this week. I think Roma was enjoying herself.
We went into to get some chicken feed and left with two White Crested Black Polish Chickens. Funny looking things. Hopefully we didn't get roosters!

Violin?

We took the boys into Boston to my conference last Saturday. There was a display of string instruments and the gentleman offered to let Evan try. Evan was so cute and says he liked playing it!

Gavin's Day at the Museum

Gavin "shopped" once at the grocery store and played in the dino room and truck room for a few minutes. He raced a couple of matchbox cars in the exhibit. But once he hit the train room, he never left. Over an hour and a half he stayed here. A big train and water tower and two train tables. He thought he was in heaven.

short break for a tea party with his sister

Children's Play Museum

We went to a play museum in NC when we were visiting Grandma Carol. The kids had a great time. Chloe was in her glory. We only took pictures of her doing about half the things available there. She is definitely at prime imaginative play stage.

Gavin LOVED the dinosaur room. About 30 - 40 dinosaurs all twice the size of the ones he has at home.

During the puppet show Chloe shouted out, "My daddy wears a helmet on HIS bike..." Thanks for sharing.

Let's hope this isn't her future career....
