Spring Break

We did a lot around the house (mostly outside) during spring break but we also took the kids to see Peter Rabbit at the theater and we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science 

on Daddy's days off.

He was looking for a specific butterfly to take to the breeding room.  We got to help play I Spy.

We had lots of fun and learned a lot too.

I took the kids for Easter pictures one day too.

Love, love, love their smiles!  We have done pictures in our Easter Sunday clothes for six years now and it is so fun to look back and watch how they've grown.

March in a Nutshell

March just flew by!  Actually, this whole year is flying by.  Ready for the summer slow down.
Well, we will hope it slows down.

Emerson had a field trip to Fire Station #5.

Christian and Julianna had their first grade reading restaurant which was so fun to attend as a parent after seeing the teacher side for years.

They did awesome!

(videos to come)

The killdeer bird came back and made her nest again in the same spot as last year - four eggs.  It's fun to check on her each Sunday.

Now that we are all getting adjusted to daddy's new hours the kids have picked up new chores.  

They have to fold their own clothes and put them in their dressers.  They also help in the kitchen when they can: cutting fruit, setting the table and unloading the dishwasher.

So far so good.

We had a couple "teacher kid" birthday parties.  We are so lucky to have Elisabeth and Jacob to play with after school.

Such great friends!
