It has beed a fun-filled month at our house this April! The boys had their first fishing experience and each caught a couple of fish in a short amount of time. The day was to be sunny and 70, but ended up being cloudy and 40 - so let's just say the outing was short and sweet :) It is a good thing that the fish were biting that chilly morning and within 20 minutes we had fish, pictures and were all packed up and on our way home. However, Tim is excited for a day when the sun is shining and more time can be spent on the dock with the boys.
Easter weekend was joyous and celebratory! We enjoyed the Easter egg hunts, an Auge family birthday party for our three two year olds and four other cousins, and Grandma Sheila's arrival from Arizona for her week-long visit on Easter evening!!!!
Another HUGE event at our house - both boys are now riding bikes without training wheels! It occured on the same day and without any help :) Tommy decided he was ready to ride on two wheels and removed his training wheels. Without any assistance, the boy was riding on his own! Charlie (competitive in nature) followed suit immediately and was riding on two wheels within five minutes! Ahhh - this made for two very proud parents and Grandma Sheila was here to witness the accomplishment!
Another GREAT event took place the same day: THE HOOP! Since our boys love playing ball -and our backyard is not suitable for a Sport Court (and our driveway is pretty slanted...) - Tim installed a rim in our garage. It is absolutely perfect for all weather conditions and for all age groups! Charlie and the boys have spent many hours shooting hoops and love their new court!
The last few days have been splendid for outdoor play. Tommy and the trio have enjoyed numerous mornings at the parks and playing in our yard while Charlie has been having a blast with his buddies at school. It is always the highlight of our day meeting Charlie at the bus stop and spending the next couple of hours riding bikes, scooters, and big wheels together along with pushing Ellie's babies in strollers!
Tommy and Charlie have really enjoyed playing with neighbor friends during these beautiful spring evenings and the triplets are little mimics of the big boys. It is a blast to watch the interaction and utmost admiration between Charlie, Tommy and Andy, Luke and Ellie. All five kids play so well together and we feel so blessed every day.
