First Day

 

Today was a different day for everyone at our house.  It was Kael's first day of school and we all felt a little lost at home without him. He, of course, did wonderfully.  Silas loved some one-on-one time and then was totally ready to get him from school.

 

Glimpses

We are enjoying our summer!

 

 

Kid Update

Every time I blink these kids are growing and changing!  I am so proud of the great people they are becoming.

 

Kael has recently learned to ride a two wheeler, and he loves the speed a bike gives him.  He loves maps of all kinds and enjoys all sorts of imaginative play especially battles, bad guys, and dragons!

Silas loves swords.  You give the boy anything and he will turn it into a sword!  Today he called out to me, "hey, lil' lady"  and he is constantly saying things that make me smile!  He is an absolute momma's boy and always wants to be with either his Mom or Dad.

 

 

Jayne is growing up and is all smiles.  She loves to watch her brothers run around her and honestly enjoys going anywhere to watch and smile at the people around her.

 

 

First trip out of the Country

We've been meaning to take this trip for years and last weekend we finally did it!  We took the whole family to Canada!

Before we crossed the border we stopped to look at the "line."  Adam showed us a border monument.

When we first crossed the border we saw a visitors center; we pulled over to let the boys play and to brush the dinosaurs teeth.

 

While I attended a Time Out For Women, Adam entertained the boys by swimming in the hotel pool, spending Canadian money, visiting the house where his Grandma lived, and playing at the park.

 

 

On the way home we stopped in the small town where Adam's Grandfather was buried.  It was a beautiful cemetery.  Side note: He was buried right next to James Kirk!  Silas fell asleep in the car so we weren't going to wake him up just for the picture in the cold snow!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter!
