how to get a peanut to pass out in her popcorn: a tutorial.

 It takes a lot- a LOT, I'm telling you- to wear out Audrey, but the peanut- the bed time drama legend herself- was passed out by 8:00pm in the middle of reaching into her bag of popcorn- see exhibit A:

In all seriousness, today was a good day- beginning and ending with good times with good friends. We started the day at the park with friends to play and to have a picnic before heading off to Jonah's 4 month well check (I updated his stats HERE)and then spent the evening at Stricker's Grove with our church family. Days like today stand for all that summer should be: packed full of fun and ice cream and lemonade and all things sweet and little bit sticky...

Today we had some friends over for a little Easter play date... and I remembered to take exactly zero pictures once they came! But, here are a few from before they arrived. The monsters all had a great time and successfully achieved sugar highs followed by a lot of crazy play and some meltdowns... all the joys of being a toddler.

My good friend Jessie sent me some photos from a trip we took to the park last week... I love watching our babies grow up together as buddies. And soon she will be adding another beautiful girl to the mix so Audrey isn't so out-numbered by the boys :)

life lately.

We are so thankful that we are all on the road to recovery. After a little more than a month of a lot of sickness, I can't tell you how happy (and energized!) it makes me to have two healthy babies. 

The peanut LOVES to hold hands. When they ride in Dan's truck together they are close enough to touch... the other day Dan and I found Jackson holding Audrey's hand. He does it for the entire ride every time. 

This amazing weather has resulted in a lot of time outside both at home and at various parks. We can't get enough of spring!

Last week we had a large tree cut down because it was too close for comfort to the house now that we added on. This weekend "Uncle Pooch" and his buddies came over to cut up the tree to sell as firewood. Jackson watched them intently through the windows, totally jealous that he didn't get to help.

We honored the first day of spring with a trip to the zoo with friends. The babies both had a blast soaking up the sun and playing with their buddies. The highlights according to Jackson: throwing mulch on the playground with the other naughty boys and riding the choo-choo train, of course.
