Spring Cleaning


Home Depot is one of Andrew's favorite places. Luckily, in springtime, there are plenty of excuses for a trip to Home Depot...





This mama bird thought our porch was a nice spot for a nest. Our spring cleaning must have been a success! Her eggs haven't hatched yet, but she is constantly vigilant. We are watching too. There is another bird who likes to make her nest in the attic, above Noah's room. She is back again this year, with a new noisy crew of youngsters.


We celebrated Earth Day with a trip to Shelby Farms. It was a beautiful day, with plenty of food and fun games for the kids. Andrew wore himself out in the bounce houses and practiced for t-ball. Noah rode a pony for the first time. I think he enjoyed it, despite his serious face. No smiles for the camera, he was all business.





A few highlights from recent weeks...

We enjoyed a friend's birthday party at Putt Putt. Great weather, mini golf, go carts, and more. 




The highlight of the month (possibly the year!) - we got an ice cream maker. The boys are loving it! So far, vanilla is the fan favorite, with chocolate coming in a close second.





Noah, Halloween pajamas again?! Grow out of them, already, geez!

Andrew had his first sleepover at a friend's house. I was a little worried that he would be scared to stay away from home all night. He wasn't worried, just very excited. And he had a great time, of course. Good friends and teenage mutant ninja turtles. What more could a boy ask for?



The spring weather has been perfect for outdoor cooking. And while the sausage cooks, the kids play. Due to size constraints, ownership of the toy car has for all intents and purposes passed on to Noah. However, Andrew still likes to reposes it occasionally and squeeze in.



Cheers to some good times! More to come in May...
