Hooray for warm weather!! (Except spring was actually pretty cold until like May. I think Phil was still making weekend fires well into April.) But at least the time changed and it was light enough to get outside a bit more and we had a random hot day here and there.
For spring break we went down to Btown for a few days. Phil stayed behind to get in some work days. But I was able to catch up with Leigh Ann, Celia, and Sarah (!!) who overlapped all the way from California. I don’t see any of those girls enough – so it was super rare and fun.
The kids also had a great time with the grandparents doing wonderlab, easter egg hunts, playing in the snow and dental appointments with uncle Andrew.
We celebrated Easter in LG and even though they are wearing their springy Easter clothes – it was actually below freezing. (My kids do a lot of crazy things for an M&M).
Then I turned around and went back to btown for some dental implants. Fun fun. But it was first night away from the kids in like over a year, so it was actually kind of great. After that, we didn’t have any travel planned for a while so we decided to potty train Zev. Oy. I know the world doesn’t like to hear about potty training, but it’s a big deal and I think most parents can at least appreciate the significance. So yeah. We did it. And it caught on pretty easily in the first few weeks. And we are now diaper free during the day! I cant say how thankful I am how ‘Easy’ it was (it wasn’t easy. Phil and I just have thick skin and have dealt with it before, so it seemed ‘Easy’ compared to the first time – I’ll spare details of all the ‘Not-so-easy’ moments).
Other than that we had a bunch of random activities – I took the big kids to a children’s musical of the ‘Emperors New Clothes’ in the area (and got pulled over on the way. Great learning experience.) Lots of friends birthday parties, we hosted lots of friends over here, and even Aunt Wendy visited for a night before a conference!!
Then we had all the end of the year concerts, picnics, and graduations to celebrate before the official kick off of ‘Summer’!! Woo-hoo! Bring it on.
Here are some additional memories:
