The Sound That Makes Your Heart Smile!

There's nothing quite like a baby's laughter. I've watched this video about 100 times and get a GIANT smile on my face every single time. I love that Julia's first laugh was created from watching Eric. I love that they are in their mismatched pajamas. I love that a cheap (but wonderful!) party favor from Jenna's recent birthday is the reason for laughing. I love that the sound scares her sometimes but then she laughs. I love that Eric laughs as hard as Julia. I could go on and on. We are so blessed. :)

Touch a Truck and More

As we start to venture out of the house more every week, we are starting to get back into the swing of things! In May thus far, we have gone to Touch A Truck, 2 Birthday Parties and have spent a lot of time playing outside getting some fresh air and exercise! The weather started out awful but appears to be getting warmer and finally feeling like spring!


At the beginning of May it was still cool enough to bundle up Julia!!
Here we are at Touch A Truck - rain or shine! Eric spent a lot of time here, on the zamboni

Look mommy, this is how the garbage men ride! Eric got to turn on the lights in the police car which was a HUGE hit!



They gave out sunglasses....in the rain...

Julia in a dress, a bow and a smile for her first birthday party! Happy 4th Birthday Audrey!


At Jake's 3rd birthday, Eric and Daddy take some time to enjoy a cupcake in the sunshine


Finally - it's warm enough to be outside for a stroll!

Easter and the rest of April

We had a wonderful Easter! We spent the morning at church, having breakfast, doing an egg hunt (indoor) and a beautiful church service. The Easter Bunny brought Eric all sorts of goodies, which he loved hunting for!



And so far, although spring has brought us a lot of rainy weather, our days inside have been full of sunshine! :) Here are some of our best shots in chronological order...


Julia's first day of church (this was taken after - you can see how quickly E gets out of church clothes!)

Kisses and hugs are a daily occurrence! Big girl in her carseat Eric colors Easter eggs We took so many pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits and not a single one turned out "great"! So here are the ones that are good...of at least one of them!
