Sweet souls

Saturday was freezing, but we headed out early in the morning for the Hillsdale Easter egg hunt.  We are getting tired of winter coats and hats and gloves but it doesn't stop us from having fun.  The kids gathered lots of eggs on their hunt.  There were a few kids who showed up late and missed it.  There were a few more kids who didn't get anything.  Ryley, Joey, Owen and TJ all decided to give up some of their eggs, candy and treats and share with the other kids.  They were so sweet and felt so bad that some of the kids had nothing.  They did this a few times.  It made my heart melt.  They did it on their own and with no complaints.  I am so proud of them and how thoughtful and selfless they are.  It was a proud mommy moment.

Three Generations

This is something to be proud of:

Three generations.  My mom always tells me how proud she is of me.  I remember her always telling me that when I have a daughter someday I will understand the bond and the overpowering feelings of love.  Well, mom, you were right.   It's amazing.

We love Aunt Melissa

We had the pleasure of going to the Museum of Natural History with Aunt Melissa.  Everyone should have an Aunt Melissa.  The kids adore her and love spending time with her.  She knew everything in the museum and loved sharing all her knowledge with the kids.  Thank you Aunt Melis for such a great day!

Hiking

Hiking seems to be our go to plans on the weekends.  We have hiked when it's hot, when it's freezing, when it's muddy and of course on beautiful days.  I love to be outside with the kids and i love when it's just us.  It's definitely a great way for them to burn some energy, but it's also a great way to get alone time together where it's quiet.  I hold hands with Ryley and have little discussions with Joey.  Owen and TJ chase Hobson.  Our hikes started with Ryley in a baby bjorn, and now I watch all 4 climbing rocks and running up trails.
