Spring Days

Sillies on the deck- can't decide which is my favorite.

Goofing on inside- the boys still aren't too old to enjoy a game of "peek-a-boo."

Nicholas LOVES his rainboots and umbrella, and asks to use them almost everyday- even when it's sunny.

Spring is here! We've been outside as much as possible. There was LOTS of rain last week, so here are some photos of the both during both a rainy and sunny day. Also, one of our projects has been watching caterpillars grow and form chrysalises. They aren't butterflies yet, but will hopefully emerge in a week or two!

Cute, cute Daniel

Riding on Grandpa's ATV

Rainforest Cafe

The Nashville Zoo

We traveled to Tennessee last week (just after the snowstorm), and it was a busy, BUSY trip! Chris had business in Knoxville, but we were able to visit my mom and Nashville and his dad and stepmom in Clark Range. While there, we went to the zoo and Rainforest Cafe (which was a big hit with both boys!), then relaxed with Grandpa and Nonna on Saturday.

Snowstorm 2009

Snowstorm 2009

We had our first big snow in several years on March 1-2. I was really excited since neither of the boys had really experienced a snowstorm, and this definitely qualified. We got about 8-10 inches total! (Strangely, the temp was around 75 degrees just a few days later.)
Nicholas enjoyed it much more than Daniel, who had snow up to his thighs. Poor guy really had a difficult time getting around. Nicholas and Chris borrowed a sled from the neighbors and raced down the big hill on our street. I tried it with him too, and had a blast. (The photo is too far away, but you can kind of make out N&C climbing the hill with their sled.)
The neighbor girls, who are mostly in middle school, helped with two small snowmen, which are harder to make than you'd think!
