Awhile Ago…

It's a beautiful day outside, Zane and Violette fell asleep after a long morning at our MOPS (mother's of preschoolers) meeting and Max is outside with a shovel, digging in the garden. I see a laundry basket filled to the brim with clothing and toys strewn across the floor, but my updating of this blog is calling me.

Easter came and went, filled with lots of good times. Grandma and Grandpa Goodhue came down to join in the celebration. The sun was out and the air reached a temperature crisp and enjoyable. The children wanted to show them the trails at the park. We climbed the felled tree limbs and ran the trails.

   

Of course egg dying was done too:

Being 21/2 now, I see Zane, along with the other three, enjoying and savoring Holiday traditions.  The messy egg dye and smelly eggs are something I could do without, but after beginning the process it was hard not to be sucked in with their joy and exuberance over this tradition. 

The following week was Noelle’s Spring Break.  The week was long, the children irritable and the weather horrible.  Days were really not fun, but on Friday we added a little trip and brought the fun back to a dull Spring Break.  We headed over to Sturgis to visit the Feyes Family.  Also a blast, filled with children playing, and adults laughing and talking.  It was a great day. 

I found on my Mom’s SD card some pictures from Christmas up in Traverse City.  There are so cute ones:
