Finally, the snow is gone and my tulips are peeking through the ground. Winter is SO LONG here! The kids are so happy to be able to go outside some. Tonight we bundled everyone up and went for a walk, even though it was only about 40 degrees! The sun was shining and we needed some fresh air. Homer pushed Caden and Cole in the double stroller and I pushed Joelle in the single. Sometimes she walks or rides her bike, but she wanted to ride tonight. A few days ago, we went for a long walk, up the hill to the (very tiny) airport. Joelle took her bike...pushing it most of the way up, but had a blast riding it back down the hill. I put Cole in the "sleepy wrap" carrier and pushed Caden in the stroller. What a workout!
Cole is crawling everywhere now and standing up, holding on to things. It's so cute. He is so much fun...if I could keep him at this exact age, I would!
A few weeks ago Joelle and I went tubing at the ski resort about 20 minutes away. We went with our friends Missy and Emma and had alot of fun! Joelle loves things like that...roller coasters, etc. Caden, not so much (yet). He couldn't go tubing anyway, kids have to be 5 yrs old and 42 inches tall. Caden is a whole 30 lb at 3 1/2.
Last week Joelle and Caden were sick all week. Most likely they had influenza b; fevers for 6 days, sore throats, runny noses and coughing. Then they got better and Cole got sick. His only lasted about 4 days though, and Homer and I were spared!
Next weekend I'm going to my Mary Kay Career Conference in pittsburgh. Six of my unit members are attending, which is the most I've ever had come, so I'm excited. In april I'm going with some friends to scrapbook overnight at the Peak (same resort we went tubing). We did it last year and had so much fun, and got lots of pages done, so we invited more people and are going again! I am so lucky to be able to have these little "get-aways"...they help me be a better wife and mommy!
We have our vacation plans made for June. We're going to Carolina/Kure Beach in southern North Carolina for a week. We're staying in a condo with our friends Steve, Erica, Kami and Jacob Snyder. Then we're visiting my Aunt Kathy in South Carolina for a few days, and heading back to celebrate the 4th of July with our parents. So we'll be gone for 2 weeks, which will seem like forever to us! It will be fun and we are really looking forward to the beach, and Aunt Kathy's house on the lake!
Homer had an in-grown toenail cut out last week, so he's healing from that. Kind of hard with 3 kids and a dog who like to step on it, drop things on it, and bump it! All are well though. I guess that's about all of the updates for now!
