Summer Plans

I'm anxious for the kids to be out of school for summer.  I've come up with a plan to have a bit of structure for our days at home. Most of our time is spent playing outside at the pool.  Here's my plan to add a little learning, exploring, and spiritual growth to our break.

Easter 2017

He is Risen! 

 

Spring Break

 We enjoyed a visit to Frankfort and Union, Kentucky over Spring Break.  We visited friends and family.  The weather was nice and we avoided most of the rain. 

 A visit to our beautiful Capitol is always glorious with the blooming tulips. 

Owen's 4th Birthday

 Owen celebrated his birthday at school with donuts and singing with his sister.  

 He loved all the new tractors and trucks.  

 He played games with his friends and enjoyed chocolate cake.  What more could a boy want? We love you sweet Owey O.  

Story Book Breakfast

Audrey and Mommy enjoyed some time together at the Story Book Breakfast.  We met lots of our favorite characters, ate pancakes, got Audrey's face painted, and got a cool kitty cat balloon.  Audrey makes a beautiful Rapunzel.  

He's Almost 4

 Owen will be 4 in just a few days.  How has my baby grown up already?  He loves to be outside, climb trees, play ball, and do anything his big brother does.  

Today he enjoyed digging for worms and snails.   

Last week he was in the newspaper.  Owen and I were outside playing with his boomerang and they stopped to take our picture.  He thinks he's famous now.
