Hello Spring, Goodbye Winter

Well, I guess this poor blog was quite unattended to this past winter. The time seems to be passing quickly and I'm almost surprised by green grass and daffodils blooming - but definitely not disappointed.

Since its been awhile, I'll update with pics and just a little commentary.

Grant started afternoon kindergarten in January. I decided to make sure he was at his freshest for school everyday by staying home in the mornings and using the last little bit of time before full day school to sleep in, stay in pjs, and have more snuggle/play time. The boys have absolutely loved it, becoming quite the homebodies. We were previously used to a calendar full of play dates or activities. I have wavered from loving every single second of having all my boys together every morning to feeling a little like ground hog day where the same day seems to repeat over and over again.

Here's some of my favorites from our relaxed mornings:Do bubbas get any cuter than when in matching pajamas??? I think not. Of course, with 3 little boys relaxing mornings always involve plenty of this too:

Spidermen in action practicing their super powers:-)

And of course we have officially moved into the whole Stars Wars genre. Here is Grant as a stormtrooper at a Stars Wars event at our library.Colin made the cutest conductor while honing his finger painting skills:We had an unwelcome visitor for around two weeks this winter too:A nasty stomach bug infected everyone with the exception of Daddy.

Soaking up every last bit of warm weather while it lasts. As this week proved, its still the time of year warm weather is here today and then gone for too long!And this adorable 10.5 month old squirt, goes from his adorable grin to this:
a screacher in no time flat. He has figured out the louder he screaches the more attention he gets. But not to fear, he switches back to a smile once he gets his desired attention:-) I also had my breakdown sob moment when Evan proudly took his first steps by himself this week. It appears that "my baby" has no intention of staying that way for long.

So here's the quick update on our lives and our precious boys. Thankful for having a quiet, but full of quality time together winter. Looking forward to the activities of spring/summer quickly approaching:-)
