There is hope!

Today (and really yesterday too) proves that spring is here...and summer is on it's way. We spent lots of time outside both yesterday (after a birthday party in Lee's Summit and a yummy trip to Cheesecake Factory with family) and especially today...it was BEAUTIFUL! There always seem to be tears when we make the boys come inside and today was no exception. Uncle Tommy and Aunt Nataliya came by and picked Jonathan up to take him to Penguin Park with cousin Daniel this morning. After a nap, he was back in action outside while mom and dad worked on the yard (mowing, planting flowers, cleaning the garage & shed, etc.). The neighborhood was FULL with kids and every type of ride-on toy imaginable littered the culd-de-sac. All the little neighborhood girls are smitten with little Nicholas and they keep a close eye on him...claiming to practice their "babysitting" (It was funny to overhear one neighborhood girl (Payton) say to another, "That Nicholas sure is cute, but boy he just won't sit still!"...haha, tell me about it!) Jonathan experienced a few falls and a bloody knee...first time in shorts this season...first of many injuries to come.

Since we moved in this house in July of last year, watching all the spring flowers and spring trees bloom have been a surprise. Here are a few pictures. And some other random ones from today and yesterday.


Little Katherine enjoyed time outside strapped on the front of mommy in the Bjorn.

Little Nickles has learned to high-five!

Jonathan jumping...Am I going to have a trip to the ER again soon?
Washing the dirt off!
