I am trying to find the positive in the April Snow that surrounds our town home. Although we enjoy the winter months at this house with sledding and snowmobiling as favorite activities. We also long for the sweet smell of spring. The puddles to jump in and the flowers that start to bloom. The green grass and leaves that start to grow on the trees. Mostly, for me, I enjoy getting out for some early morning walks or running as my workout!
Micah has only one month left of preschool. I am excited to have the summer with him and I know he is ready to spend lots of time outside with his brother and sister! He favorite indoor toy right now is Bey Blades. He learned about them at a few friends house. He doesn't have any yet, but has been diligently earning money through chores and helping mom and dad so that he can buy some of his own! Once he earns his $40 he will tithe his 10% and then buy the Bey Blades that he has been waiting for. He hopes to also get a bigger bike this summer so that he can keep up with Daddy. Micah will also be busy this summer with Tball, Basketball, Soccer Camp and Vacation Bible School.
Sophia is growing so much too! She wants to go to preschool but I think we will keep her home one more year. She is talking more. She tries to talk over her brother so she can be heard too! My mom tells me that she does so many things just like I did at her age. It's fun and challenging to have a three year old girl at home. She loves My Little Ponies and Paper Dolls. She is happy to play on her own as long as you are sitting right next to her. She asks us to put on music everyday so she can dance and sing to it. We are going to let her try gymnastics this summer!
Mason is almost walking. He can balance and walks along furniture but doesn't have the confidence to take steps just yet. I am sure they will be right around the corner. He has been walking along furniture for about a month. He still has four teeth on top, they just seem to be hanging out up there, and have still not come all the way through, and then two teeth on the bottom. Mason loves music like his brother and sister. If you turn the music on he will start wiggling almost immediately. His eyes light up and he gets super silly. Although Mason is used to having Micah and Sophia around, he thrives on his mommy and daddy alone time. He is super sweet and just loves to play quietly when he can see us in sight.
Gordon is enjoying work. But unlike the rest of us, would love it to continue snowing year round so that he could take his snowmobile out year around. His brother Derek went with him out snowmobiling after the big snow on Thursday...although they found themselves trudging through lots of watery grass on the way to the trail:) They came back pretty wet, but still had big smiles on their faces.
