Spring Time

The sun is out and the temperature is rising. The pollen is out too but we have not been letting it bother us. Our neighbor, Hollis, had a birthday party where the kids got to decorate bird houses. Pictured below is Olive June's fabulous, pink, and sparkly house.



The kids have been playing in the backyard a lot. On many occasions it is the only way to get the house quiet enough for Catalina to take naps. Below is a picture of Olive June and Catalina drawing with chalk on the back porch.



We all had a nice breakfast in the backyard last Sunday. We enjoyed the sun and the fresh air. Catalina enjoyed the freedom of climbing around at the table.


 Catalina loves the playhouse in the backyard.
In this picture she is smiling at me through a screen.


Another great smile.


And here is daddy with all three kids.

March

 The weather has been a mixture of really nice some days and just plain cold other days. St. Patrick's Day was warm enough for the kids and I to go to the park. We went to Bear Hollow, our local Zoo park, where the kids received green beads which they loved.


 Back at home Catalina enjoyed a meal time.

 Another day I took Catalina and Olive June to the park while Griffin did his homework. The girls are really starting to have fun together.


 The weather has been nice enough for us all to start playing in the backyard. Here is the rare picture of all three kids playing together.

 Catalina getting into the Cozy-coupe.

It was so nice that the kids went outside in their pajamas before bedtime.

Catalina having fun in the garage.

 Griffin and I laid out in the warm driveway one day.


 Here is a rare picture of the camera man and Griffin. This was my beard at it's longest and it was trimmed soon after this picture was taken.

 Olive June and Catalina having fun with the push-car.

Finally, we move onto Easter. The kids were so excited this year. It rained the night before, so egg hunting was conducted in Crocs and Rain-boots.  Here is Catalina looking at some eggs.

The big kids on the hunt.

 They were having so much fun.

 Look at what we got.

 
 Even Catalina enjoyed sorting through her eggs.


We hope you are all doing well. Thanks for visiting.
