A Chilly Day at the Park

Since the weather has been so nice, we decided to have a Saturday trip to Forest Park with Andy, Betsy and Adelyn. We all had fun, although the weather did turn out to be a little cold. We went to the Soulard Farmer's market, (the oldest farmer's market this side of the Mississippi,) and saw some pets, animals, lots of produce and some foods we need not mention. Then we went to the park to have a picnic. There was quite a breeze and a breezy day at 65 degrees is a little chilly! We ended up indoors watching the cardinal play on TV, although we had the tickets in our hands the day before! (I think Travis is still a little sad over the whole deal!)

Bed Time

Our bedtime ritual includes a lot of things... brushing teeth, books, tickling, prayers, etc. Aiden always thinks he's going to get to sleep in Sissy's bed with her. Every night, as soon as we announce bedtime, he crawls in her bed, hoping that we won't notice!

New Do.

Aiden traded in his old barber (mommy) for a new one. It was time for a "summer do." (Like the pink bathroom tile? Sophie would die if we ever decided to get rid of it!!!)

The Big Day!

The big excitement this month was Aunt Nikki's wedding. Sophie was the flower girl and Aiden was a handsome gentleman in a suit! Everyone looked great although Sophie hated her hair. It took a lot of convincing that she didn't look "silly" with the prom queen hairdo that mommy created for her. Sophie's flower wand/sword caused her parents to panic during the ceremony a couple of times...no harm done!!! The wedding was absolutley beautiful!

In Training

Spring is finally here and we've been spending a lot of time out doors! We've had trips to the park, been on nature walks, and yes, even done some yard work! We actually have a decent yard this year. The kids have loved having a yard we can actually play in! Thanks to Aunt TeeTee and the boys for the dump truck and digger! Aiden is still saying "Tank ooo" for them when he goes out to play! And as for Travis... he's pretty excited that Aiden likes his lawn mower so much!

Here We Go!

Because so much is happening and we're so far away from some of you, I thought I'd start this as a way to keep you all involved in our day to day events. The kids are always talking about family... "I want to show this to Papa" or "I drew this picture for Grammy." I hope we will all be able to keep a little closer. It's such a shame that we haven't done this sooner. Enjoy!
