Life in April

Another random collection of moments that made up our days.  The kids have been getting better and better at doing chores.  I always smile when I see that Shane unloaded the dishwasher- he organizes the plates by color in order from his favorite to least favorite:)
 Aaron sure gets a lot of loving- here Sadie is brushing his hair to try to keep the cradle cap at bay while Shane reads to him.
 A baby fresh out of the bath is just about one of the best things on Earth.
 Sadie has been watching me do breathing treatments for so long she knew exactly what to do!  She is my little mommy through and through.
 I love when the weather warms up, it opens up so many more options for us.  One day we went for a bike ride around the lake.
 We took a picnic lunch and I think their favorite part was packing their own little lunches into their backpacks, they are always "packing" something up in their backpacks.
 This hat fits Aaron great, and I chuckled when I first noticed the size- 2-4T!  He must be one of ours!
Sadie brought this to me and said, "Look mom!  It's Jesus!  I miss him."
 If there is something to be ridden, she has to try it out, and usually with 5 different accessories on.  Not pictured- her on rollerskatees- that was interesting!!
 She's been waiting and waiting to use her water table again.
 Aaron became a rolling machine this month and is really enjoying all the new found freedom.  He is sure trying to figure out how to crawl.  I have a feeling he will get into a lot of trouble when he does- he is so grabby and does NOT like when I take things away from him.
 He is doing a lot better but still gets sick longer and harder than any of the others ever have.  Thankfully he is pretty happy through it all, but it makes the Y a little more complicated.  We got into a good routine there while he was sick for  a couple weeks of walking a few laps around the track til he he fell asleep, then I would do insanity on the portable dvd player and he would wake up the last few minutes and join me:)
 Marissa is learning all kinds of things from Shane's Magic Tree House reading.  "Mom, do you know what I'm building?  The Great Wall of China!"
Shane was trying to cut his french toast and was getting pretty frustrated so he said, "I guess I will never learn how to do it.  I guess my wife will just have to do if for me."  Ha ha ha.
 These kids are so lucky to have such a good daddy.
 He does things I wouldn't do- like play Life with all three of them!
 Sadie is pretty brave at the park- she climbed this before the other two would!  But I was proud of them too, they both did the big fire pole for the first time- you can see Shane in the background doing it, you can't quite tell from the picture but it is pretty tall.
 And we enjoyed the zoo for a last few times before our pass expires tomorrow.  It's starting to become real that we are not going to be here much longer!
