Ian reading the morning paper this week. Not sure where he set his morning coffee ; )
I took the boys strawberry picking yesterday. They collected some big juicy ones & finished it off with a visit to the ice cream stand.
Not all of Boo's strawberries made it into his bucket!

Grant has become aware of his surroundings this week & will spend long periods of time taking in the lights & sounds on his activity mat. His brothers like to crowd in & see what he's up to.

Our Silly Boo
Little Grant is certainly not lacking attention : )
He's also started smiling at us, but trying to capture that on camera was nearly impossible!
Ian's excited to see what this egg-dying is all about

Finding their Easter treats this morning....thanks, Mimi!!
...and the race is ON!
Boo's hunt came to an end once discovering the treats inside the eggs waiting to be eaten!
Our little Grant, who is 6 wks old today. The time is passing quickly! He's awake a lot more during the days & is starting to fall into a routine. Although part of that routine consists of still eating at least every 3hrs at night, so we're hoping he soon gets the memo that he needs to start stretching that out to about 5-6hrs ; )
Who would have thought spring break would be worth looking forward to considering our kids aren't even close to being in school yet? However, I've loved having a week off from Speech, Spanish & Soccer to not be on a schedule & move at our own pace (which is quite similar to a snail these days). The weather has been great so we've been at the park a couple of times & had some friends over to play yesterday. Now we're looking forward to enjoying a 3-day weekend with John home!

Much to our boys' delight, they threw in some monster truck rides just in case the airplanes weren't exciting enough!
We went to a friend's house yesterday for an Easter Egg Hunt & picnic. The weather was perfect to be outside & the boys loved finding eggs. They were so into the 'hunt' that it was quite a while before they even discovered there were snacks inside the eggs!
We took many shots of both these poses, and these were the best to come out of the bunch! I guess posing for pics doesn't rate up there as a fun activity for the little guys.
Swinging with Papa this morning. It looks like he is having as much fun as the boys!
Filson & Grant
Meme & the big boys headed to the circus
Really worn out after a day with Papa & Meme!
Filson wanted Papa to sleep on the top bunk in the boys' room, but Papa thought it would work better if Filson slept in their room! This has been his 'bed' since Friday night. He loves getting to watch a movie before bed every night.
