Welcome Spring!



The grass is getting greener, my tulips are almost in bloom and there is a crisp freshness that fills the air. Spring is one of my favorite times of year and I am anxiously awaiting a longer visit from this beloved season!

Although mostly cool and damp, we have taken full advantage of the warmer weather that has been sprinkled in throughout April. It is so wonderful getting out to the parks, zoo, and baseball fields in order to soak up some sunshine, run some laps and burn off some energy!


We had a wonderful Easter weekend with family. Charlie and Tommy enjoyed decorating eggs, multiple Easter egg hunts and finding their baskets left by the Easter bunny filled with goodies!


Charlie has entered non-stop Twins mode this season and baseball is always on his mind. He is definitely living in Twins territory and walks around the house with a ball and glove in hand at all times (usually sporting the attire to match)...always ready for a game! Charlie's all-time favorite activity is heading to the baseball field to hit balls and run the bases...run the bases...run the bases!



Tommy is our little engineer who loves to build and create masterpieces for hours upon hours with piles of blocks. His imagination is endless and we are always amazed at his focus and creativity. He enjoys swimming, soccer and playing baseball with Charlie and daddy.



It is so fun watching Andy, Luke and Ellie grow and their little personalities are truly exploding. Luke and Ellie have hit a huge milestone this month and have taken their first steps! Luke can walk across the room unassisted and Ellie just took her first five steps yesterday! Andy gets giddy while practicing walking with mommy and daddy and just laughs and laughs as he enjoys his new view on life off of all fours!

We look forward to a fun-filled summer, warm weather and endless sunshine!
