I'm so ready

Andrew playing baseball- probably right before he nailed Isabel in the back of the head. :( oops.

Ava S. pulling little ones around in wagon- what a trooper, she is going to be a great babysitter one day!

Roman trying to pull Isabel and Ava- what a strong little guy!

Poor Campbell had to sit in her chair on the grass...

Campbell was loving Ava's purse- such a girl!

For Spring to come and stay! We had a fabulous weekend spent outside, the weather the past several days has been amazing. Yesterday was in the 80's! Aaahhh, pure bliss! I am not a cold-weather fan. Spring and Summer are two of my most favorite times of year. Fall, is great too, especially in the south because it's still warm, but by that point, I know what's yet to come, so I don't get to enjoy it as much. But, I digress...this is about our fabulous weekend. After Austin's birthday party, we came home for naps and to refresh ourselves for a cookout at another neighbor's house. We had such a great time sitting outside Saturday night. The kids ran, and ran, and ran until almost 9:00! I think Emma actually got happier the more tired she got. She was all smiles and giggles that night. It was wonderful to listen to all the kids running around the yard (ages 18 months-9 years) squealing and laughing. I'm looking forward to many more of these special evenings in the months to come.

The weather has been amazing! I love it. I love it being light later too but it is harder to get up with it still dark out.
