Loving Spring





Having fun in the jumping castle.
Aidan was jumping as hard as he could trying to get Kirsten and Shea to bounce as high as they could. They were having so much fun.

Coloring


As you can see, not much of the "coloring" ended up in the "coloring book "

Gramma and Grampa came to visit

Okay, this is the last of my "catching up" posts. My Mom and Dad came to visit a few weeks ago to be here for Kirsten's B-day and also for their Christening. It was a wonderful week. The kids adore both their Gramma and Grampa (or Bamma and Bampa, as Aidan has called them since he was first talking). They spent so much time just playing and goofing off with Bampa. My Dad would sit at the kitchen table with them for breakfast and lunch and play little games and just sit and laugh. All of the cousins up here think they are both SO MUCH FUN!!! They all started to call them Bamma and Bampa. We miss them both so much and our only wish would be to see them more often, like every day if we could. I am so grateful to my parents for making family such an important part of their life. They go above and beyond to make sure they see all of their grandkids, as often as they possibly can. I love the fact that both Aidan and Kirsten know them so well and they don't even hesitate when they see them again. They run to them and give hugs and kisses and include them in their everyday actions.












This last picture is for you Michelle, Thanks so much for Kirsten's b-day gifts. She loved the My Little Pony and as you can see they used ALL of the stickers immediately.

We love the ZOO


We love the zoo. We have season tickets and we go all of the time. It is great to be able to go for a few hours and not feel like you haven't gotten your money's worth. The kids always have a great time. We just got back today and I wanted to post the pictures while it is on my mind, and while Kirsten is sleeping. Today we went with cousins Erin and Shealynn. They are all really good friends.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Time to Party


After the Baptism we headed back to the house for a little party. We also celebrated Kirsten's birthday one last time since my parents were here.






Aidan and Kirsten's Baptism


Aidan and Kirsten were Baptized on April 27. It was a wonderful day and so many people were there to celebrate the special occasion with us. Here are some of the pictures from that day.
