Since we got back from Las Vegas, we have been keeping busy getting back into the swing of things. I love to go on vacation, but I also love to get back to regular life. Anderson is going to be 6 months next week and I can't believe it! His hair is starting to grow back, which I'm loving and he is finally eating solid foods. He has refused and refused for weeks, and has just decided that maybe they're not so bad. His favorite is sweet potatoes. :)
Justin and Jack have started having movie nights in the attic. They watch it in Jack's tent complete with popcorn, snacks, and candy. Jack LOVES having a "camp out" with dad.
Jack got to visit Justin at the school for his first visit to the dentist. As you can see he was a little nervous about it at first. I think this picture is hilarious!! Classic Jack whiny face. They give the kids those funny sunglasses which Jack now keeps in his car seat to wear while we are driving. He thinks they are so cool. Love it.
After Justin let Jack help with the suction, he decided maybe it wasn't so bad.
He even left with a smile.
The snow around here melted at rapid speeds which we were super happy about! We took full advantage of the big puddles and went out in our rain boots. (Notice the nice broken sidewalk in front of our house. Something I will NOT miss about Cleveland. Broken sidewalks and broken roads...grrr.)
Jack has been getting pretty bored around our house lately, or so he says, so I gave him some "homework" to see if it could occupy some time. To my surprise, he LOVED it and sat there for a good twenty minutes doing page after page of things I had made for him to trace. I told him to follow the black lines with his pencil and he kept asking me "Follow those black signs Mom?" I think he did awesome for his first time ever. He will be starting preschool in the fall and I think he is ready. Hopefully that will help cure some of the boredom.
Not bad for his first time! I'm so proud of Jack. He really is a smart little boy and he amazes me every day with the things he learns and remembers.
Working hard :)
I came across some awesome strawberries at Costco and decided it was time to replenish the homemade jam. Store bought just doesn't cut it for me anymore. YUM!
Since Easter falls on conference weekend this year, I had the boys wear their Easter ties to church today. I must say, we have some pretty cute boys. :)
For Easter weekend we are headed to DC to see Scott and Denisse and Shane and Holly. I entered into an online lottery for tickets to the White House Easter Egg Roll and won! Pictures from that when we get back.
HAPPY EASTER!!

That first picture in the chair is really great. I love it! I'm jealous that you get to go to the Easter Egg Roll. I can't wait to see pictures. I think Matt & Mary are going to DC this weekend, too.
I'm really impressed with Jack's writing/tracing skills. He's such a smart kid.
I think I need to go to Sam's Club tomorrow to get some strawberries.
Pretty sure Anderson is eating BBQ sauce... not sweet potatoes. What a cute little guy. I swear he is always smiling!
I can't believe he is eating sweet potatoes. I love them, but only with butter,brown sugar and marshmellows. Way to go Anderson. Such a darling smile in the 1st photo. It doesn't seem like he could be 6 months old already. Where has the time gone? The movie night in the loft looks so fun. What a fun tradition for daddy and boys. Love Jack's face when he went to the dentist. Just a good thing Justin is patient. I'm sure it helps when they are your own children....or maybe not!!! Such a cute face when he is all done and showing his clean teeth and the way cool sunglasses. I think maybe I might need a pair for me when I come in June. Love the color!!! I bet he thinks they are so cool. Jack did awesome on his homework. He did really good at the tracing for the 1st time. I am impressed. The jam looks awesome. Did you do the recipe I gave you? It sure looks good. Way to go. Love you guys and have a great weekend in DC. Tell Scott and Denisse hello from us. I can't believe you won the lotto. We will be watching for you on TV. Wouldn't that be a kick to see you guys on TV. Let us know what time the roll is. Love you guys. Mom

Oh what cute boys, I could just squeeze them! I LOVE their easter ties! Does Justin actually fit into Jack's tent?:) So fun! Have a fun easter, I cant wait to see all the pictures, take a really good one of the cherry blossoms for me -k-! So jealous!!
The dental picture is hilarious and his tracing skills are incredible. That kid is gifted. I do tracing things with Lily all the time and she has no clue what to do. She just draws circles all over. Someday we'll get there.
