April

April seemed to have flown by.  We didn't really have spring, as snow continued to fall this month.  We tried to keep busy inside and went out when we had the opportunity.  Grammy and Grandpa from Chicago came and visited for a weekend which was a blast, as always.  Adeline finished up Super Bible Club and Awanas at Church.  I finished up MOPS for the year as well.  The kids are all getting bigger, their personalities are developing more and more each week, and our life is busy as ever keeping up with our 3 bundles of energy.

"cuu-ma" is what Charlie calls the vacuum - He loves following Patrick around the house when he vacuums and shouts out "cuu-ma"!!  We often find him in the closet where we keep the vacuum...with the door closed!  When we're at Target or any store that sells vacuums, he points and yells "CUU-MA!"  So if you're in need of some housework done, we might have a little guy who would love to do some vacuuming for you!

This big boy uses a spoon and a fork pretty well now!

We spent a morning at the zoo on a cold day and  saw all of the indoor exhibits.

Addie & Miss Sarah  - one of her awesome "Super Bible Club" teachers (a program on Tuesday mornings at our church while mommy goes to MOPS)

Miss Julie (Addie's other Super Bible Club teacher) - we sure do love her!

Mid April snow fall

Hey Risky Business! (so excited about his new Thomas the Train toothpaste that he forgot to put his pants on!)

Adeline finished her first year of Awanas at our church.  Last fall when she started, we knew she would like it, but we didn't know that she would LOVE it!   Miss Tasha & Miss Anita were wonderful teachers, and Adeline learned so much!  We look forward to going to Awanas again in the fall!

Easter Weekend

We enjoyed having Joel, Hye-Young and Mia here for Easter!  It was a low key weekend...as low key as it can be with 4 kids in the house!   The cousins were able to play together which was so much fun! We joined my dad and Chris' family for Easter brunch as well.
