Springtime Family Fun

What fun this spring has been as we ease into warmer weather and enjoy getting out more. I love the perennials, coming back year after year, touching us with their beauty.


Chalk drawings are fun. Here, we had a whole city finished just before bed, planning on playing in it the next morning. Little did we know that there would be a HUGE thunderstorm that night.... Obliterating our work...


Eli has such an amazing awareness of driving... Almost scary. He pulled into the garage, executing a perfect 2 point turn to back Lael's car right into place. Amazing!


Family movie night has become a tradition now. What fun to sit together, sharing a huge bowl of popcorn, spending time together.


Shopping with Lael... Such a pretty spring day!


She loves brushing her teeth! Fresh and clean after her shower:)


This butterfly graced our door with his presence.... Giving the kids such a pretty, close up view.


Tricycle riding at its finest, big brother looking on.


Yeah... Pics with mommy on her new iPad:)








Argh...argh...argh... Big tools for my guys!


Eli used his birthday money to get a new basketball. Having a blast shooting hoops!


Shopping with both kids, right after signing up for summer reading... Eli finished 7 books before we finished shopping;) loving to read!!!


While the steaks were grilling, the boys were having fun riding bikes. I think maybe it's time to upgrade Tim's bike, eh? Hehe








This morning, they blessed my heart yet again. As I was getting breakfast ready, this is what I looked over and saw them doing. Eli has been talking about being nicer to Lael and finding things they can do together. GOOD JOB, ELI! LOVE IT!





Summer and our onslaught of family birthdays are just right around the corner. What a blessing we celebrate every day.

Thank you, God, for the amazing blessings in our lives. May we ever be more aware of all you have given!
