Always good to laugh

Happy Easter!

Boys!

Maybe it was the very girly birthday party that helped convince the girls to try boys. Whatever the reason, both of the girls invited a boy to play on an early release day. And.. they had a quite splendid time. Vincent was rather kind to share all of his cars and tracks and Claudia loved showing off her electrical engineering skills using her circuit set. She was the only one that correctly hypothesized that water would be an excellent conductor. I also caught her telling Eloise that her cerebellum was working because she was balancing so well on the edge of a table. Watch out world!

Gooooooo

Shared the weekend with a very special friend from the hometown! It was fun to compare notes on raising kids, I mean girls!! Between the two of us we have six little ones (5 girls, 1 boy) and more on the way. It was a pleasure to hear about the emotional ride this family has been on to adopt. There is a very lucky little boy out there who is going to be welcomed into this family, hopefully soon. Thanks for playing, it was fun!

Love of learning

Eloise learning all about mummies at the Science Museum!

More play in Madison

We had so much fun playing at Linden's birthday party that I had to include a few more photos.

Feeling birdy?

From the inspiration of cousin Sam, these are the birds we spotted over Spring Break.

Little did we know that in our near backyard is this beautifully hand-carved wooden Carousel. The photos do nothing for the actual detail and design. It is amazing! Lark Toys is the world's largest independently owned toy store with Llamas!
