A few pictures

Just thought that I'd add some pictures. I actually just tried posting a blog but I think I closed it before it finished.
This first picture is of the boys. I think it is one of the best we have of patrick and sean...purely accidental.
The 2nd picture is of Veronica in a dress that i made for her. The next picture is of the kids and the farm with grandma great. Finally is a picture of veronica at meijer Garden. We had a great time there today on a field trip with Patrick's class.

This weekend is promising warm weather so be sure to check back.

Just a few fun pictures

The first picture is of a dress that I made Veronica. She loves frogs and butterflies and dragonflies. Walmart had the fabric and we found some cute ribbon and buttons to go with it. She loves it and it is difficult to get it off of her most days that she is wearing it.

The 2nd and 3rd pictures are from meijer gardens today. Veronica was amazed by the butterflies and enjoyed floating the boats out back. This was the first time that we've gone there and we will be going back again in the future. :)

Patrick loved going there too and sharing his mommy with his friend Brandon and Nicholas. Poor Mrs. kraft was running around the whole time we were there trying to keep everything straight and getting things paid for.

The final picture is from last week Thursday. I had forgotten my camera and the farm on easter so we went back to get it. The kids enjoyed the time with Grandma grape (great) and granma (aunt) jo. We played outside a ton and got a few things done around the house and yard.

This weekend promises warm weather so be on the outlook for a lot more pictures...Oh and Uncle Chris is coming for the weekend too.

Spring Break is done and now we countdown...

Spring break has been over for a whole week here and we are counting down the days left of school. 17 days left....well the boys do only go 2 1/2 days a week so that is far fewer than the regular kids, but still scary enough. We are trying to come up with plans for things to do this summer.

We are really hoping to make it up to Grandma Rose's and Grandpa Chuck's new home on Youngs Lake this summer for a few weeks if a job doesn't come around instead. we are also making plans for bike rides, sandcastles, and swimming at a nearby lake. We've been in this house nearly a year now, but it doesn't feel even close to it. We've barely put our own personalities into the house to all it our own. We just finished getting the office/guest room finished for the most part and the boys have decided they like that room a lot better than their own room, so in the near future we will be moving them into there and making their room into the office/guest room. Really i have no qualms about it because I will get natural daylight to work by.

Nicholas is really enjoying his time outdoors, but God help you if you take him outside barefoot or without a hat. That little boy has listened to his Gpa Tom and makes sure his tootsies are covered with socks minimally.

Veronica has figured out how to pedal, I bet by the end of summer we'll have another bie w/o training wheels. She is very vocal and such a little chatterbox...reminds me of someone else who used to be like that...hmm who could that be???

Patrick is moving up to a 20" bike. He is so tall and muscular truely amazing. He is still doing really well on his meds and continues to make great strides in his work at school and home.

Sean has been all about fixing things and putting things in order for Spring lately. We have seeds planted and strawberries growing. This boy is going to have veggies all winter long.
