Catching Up


This post is a big hodge-podge of random pictures over the past few months...yes, I am quite behind:) Here the kids are riding their little bikes around the patio (well, Gav still scoots instead of pedaling). They both absolutely LOVE being outside!

We had one of good friends, little Miss Sydney over for a playdate a while back. Here the kids are making their own pizzas for lunch...they sure turned out delicious!

Easter in ND!

We went to Dickinson to visit my parents over the Easter weekend. It was too short of a trip but definitely quality fun-filled family time!
Whenever we go to Dickinson we spend some time at the Community Center doing some swimming....the kids just love to be in the water! Here are Papa Ken and Gav.

Lane, Sophia and Patrick.
