Happy Spring

Happy Spring! Hope everyone had a nice Easter. We had a good time visiting our family in So-cal. The trip was short and sweet. M-kid had lots of fun finding Easter baskets, hunting for eggs, spending time w/ his grandparents, and playing with his cousins.

M-kid has been SUCH a big boy lately. He is learning to do lots of things on his own and loves helping out! He can get dressed all by himself. Lately, he has really enjoyed riding his big (little) boy bike w/ his neighborhood friend (who is just his age!) He is learning to swing on the big kid swings (and is sooo proud of himself for using his strrrooong muscles to scoop woodchips with the “digger” at the park). Daddy has been prepping him for soccer – they practice before school opens in the mornings – M-kid is a natural! He has been helping us shop at the grocery store (and occasionally tries to sneak stuff that he wants in the basket) and helping Mommy make dinner and set the table. In other news, we are in the process of preparing for baby. I have been in nesting mode, trying to get everything organized. We have had good luck finding good deals on craigslist and receiving hand-me-downs. Being seasoned parents of a newborn, we are more aware this time of what we really do need. And it does not need to be brand new!
