Spring Break

Well, Spring Break did not turn out like I had hoped it would.  I pictured some relaxed days at home, playing outside a lot, and having fun with the kids during the break.  Unfortunately, that was ruined by the FLU!  Poor Luke was the first to fall and started feeling bad on his birthday.  He was pitiful as he battled the flu for the second time in the past several months.  

This is how he spent several days.  Poor buddy!


Abigail started feeling bad and running fever about mid week but thankfully did not get as sick as Luke.  We had already started on her Tamiflu so maybe that helped her not get it as bad.  These two did a lot of laying around (along with whining, crying, etc.).

They started feeling better later in the week and Abigail even decided to accessorize with hew new Dollar Tree earrings that she wears EVERY.DAY.OF.THE.WEEK. NOW!

 By Friday, Mommy the kids were more than ready to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air.  We headed to the zoo with a picnic lunch in hand and had a great time walking around and wearing out the kids.

The tigers were a favorite for both kids.

They sure do love Daddy's day off!







Big sister was even brave enough to touch a snake!

Luke turns 2!!!

It's hard to believe, but Luke turned two last weekend!  He is growing SO fast and definitely embracing the "terrible twos" these days as he shows some attitude and stays busy getting into EVERYTHING!  He loves any type of vehicle/transportation but is especially fond of trucks right now.  In light of his affection for "big trucks" we held Luke's Big Dig for his birthday party.  It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and perfect for digging in the sand and playing outside.  Take a look at his party:

























We love this little man more than words can say and are having so much fun watching him grow (Mommy just wishes he would slow down).
