Around Here

We've had some busyness around here and lots to document.   Here are a few blips.1.) We've had friends in town this week.  Running around, hanging out, playing, reading, building, talking, and eventually constructing multiple individual forts which cracked me up.2.) Norah Jean joined the world (and our street) this week, and I was so happy to be there to get pictures for her mom and dad!  :)  7 pounds and 1 ounce of sweetness....

Easter Dress Before Easter Day

Sometimes Chris will walk by the kids doing something, or me taking pictures of the kids doing something and declare accusingly, "This looks like a photo shoot."I usually reply one of two ways.1.)

Outside

It has been in the 70s for 3 days now. Last Monday there was 3 inches of snow on the ground, but now we are pretending it's summer. We've been outside to play, but there is nothing that kicks off the summer season in my mind like a walk around the block.I think this is because for the past 3 years, Jayce and I take at least 1 walk around the block every week day during the summer. The first year I pulled him in the wagon, the next year he pushed...
