Circus, Easter Eggs and Chicks!

A small circus came to town and I took the kids to have a little fun. Jill and Ali were also able to join us for the afternoon! Both kids really enjoyed it...but Elizabeth did not like the "bam" of the loud noises. A clown had a backfiring car, there was a hidden gunshot and there was a cowboy who did a laso routine that was loud too. Funny though, she loved the loud motorcycles. Kyle had a great attention span for the whole thing!

Yummy cotton candy!

The circus was actually held in an ice hockey/skating arena...of course Kyle LOVED that! This is where the "little Flyers" practice and play.

Today, the kids decided they wanted to take a shower together in the am. They laughed and played for 20+ min! It was cute to listen in. They got out and wrapped up by themselves!

Easter EGGS!!!! I was so proud of Kyle. He was able to independently tell Elizabeth the whole Easter story. He has been learning about it in Sunday School. They have obviously done a wonderful job for him to remember and be able to explain so well.

Our sweeet neighbor invited us to her school again this year to visit the new baby chicks. The kids enjoyed themselves and really seemed to like the experience . I couldn't decide which pictures to post...so here are most of them!

March memories

We have had great weather this March. I took the kids to the zoo the other day. Elizabeth is turning into such a big girl. She is so sweet and tender hearted. She walked most of the time there. She even was worried about a peacock she thought was scared. She wanted to hug him and take him home. Kyle has really grown up too, he has such a great memory of the things we have experienced there in the past and loves to tell Elizabeth about them.

Here, the kids are using the single stroller as a double!

Playing peek a boo from inside the frog!

Kyle loves watching hockey with Dave. The other day we let him stay up for 2 periods of the game...that means he got to stay up past his bedtime. He even ate dinner with us...in front of the TV!!!! As I watched the boys watch the game, I had a hard time telling them apart. Kyle loves to imitate his Daddy!

Rewind to the visit from the Drake family!

I have gotten a bit behind and out of order on the blog.
The Drakes drove over 12 hours to come visit us for a few days. We all had a great time. It was so fun to see all of the cousins playing together for an extended time. Our kids LOVED the entertainment from the Drakes and what great examples of kindness they demonstrated to Kyle and Elizabeth.
We actually had nice weather here in Feb!!! We took the kids to the playground and even had a picnic. We also got to go to the Please Touch Museum to play. The older Drakes did some Philly sightseeing. And of course there was a lot of eating, playing, games, laughing and sports.
Thanks to the Drakes for the long drive...we cannot wait to be closer!!!!
We took over 300 pictures...here are just a few
