Eleonora and Anna Kate

Eleonora and Anna Kate have been having a great spring together. Today they attended Lydia’s kindergarten graduation together. 

I’ve already showed you one of these, but the boys loved it when the girls came to visit them while their classes were at the city playground. 

AWANA

AWANA is over for the school year. All the kids finished their books - Caleb did his twice, plus an extra packet!  
Chris and I enjoyed another year of Date Nights, thanks to the generosity of my mother taking the kids on date nights of their own, and then on to church each week!  Thanks a million!

Spring 2018

Hello, everyone!  So sorry for the lack of posts lately. This spring has felt nice and busy, but there’s no such thing as too busy to blog, so apologies. Ha. 

Today I’ve been working on the boys’ gifts for their teachers. You can’t see so well, but I used our vinyl cutter to add their names to these fun buckets 

I’ve been working lots in our yard between breakfast and lunch (when it’s the coolest), so these toddler women have got to play outside together a lot!

I’ve been working on mulching around the log cabin, and I’ve added a few more azaleas and more iris. 

Often the girls figure out how to match outfits for the day, but on this day Eleonora wanted to be twins with me. :)

We got to visit Josiah’s class while the 4th grade was at the local playground. He was so excited to see his girls!

Eleonora and I have attended plenty of soccer practices. 

This was the hottest and the last!

In other news, Eleo’s best buddy got 6 chicks!  (And Heather is chicken-sitting them this weekend, of all things!)

These girls love to go shopping for plants!  (Surely!?)

Last year the weeds came right up through the pine straw, so this year I tried a layer of cardboard underneath. I will keep you posted on how it holds up!

So there you have it!  I hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring!  Summer time’s a’comin’!

Spring Break with the Shibleys

My Funny Boys

I got a text from the church office this week with this picture of the paper slipped in the offering plate. Ha!

Also still plugging away at the old piano lessons. 

What fun boys!

Yesterday

Yesterday I took the toddler women to Story Hour at the library. The Easter bunny was there!  

The girls enjoyed listening to books, making a cute craft, and eating their Bunny-Mobiles. 

Next, Eleonora went to the doctor for her 4 year-old check-up and shots. 

She was so brave!

Have I mentioned that the boys are both playing soccer again this spring?  They both played in the spring last year, but only Caleb played in the fall. Caleb was excited to do it again. Josiah’s dear old dad was excited for him to do it again. :). And did I mention that they are the same team?  That was Chris’s idea as well, and I think it’s turning out to be a great one. 

Here is where you’ll find the three of us happily spending our Saturday mornings at 9.
