A trip to Philly...

This past weekend Andrew and I made a quick visit to Philly to visit Kevin, Becky, and my sweet nephew Brady! I had not met Brady yet so this trip was so special! We had such a great time. On Saturday, we went to the zoo down the street from Kevin and spent a lot of time playing and having fun. Andrew wasn't quite sure what to make of Brady. He was not a fan of me holding Brady but the weekend ended with the two of them having a little "conversation" of sorts with a bunch of baby jibberish! Brady is such a sweet,happy guy! I included a few pictures from our trip! Thanks again Kev and Becky for having us!

The boys had a great time here with Daddy. Will had a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese on Saturday which Tim really enjoyed taking them to- hah! We had quite a few showings this weekend so they were in and out a lot. At least the snow from last week had melted and they were able to get outside and play some baseball- t-ball season starts soon!! Andrew and I were really excited to get home to see them Sunday night!

Creatures big and small...and another tooth!

We had an interesting weekend here. We have had a mouse in our garage for a month or so now. We finally decided that with the house on the market that we needed to get rid of it. We set some traps and nothing happened overnight. The next morning with all three boys watching, the mouse approached the trap and proceeded to get it's leg stuck in the trap. He tried to run away dragging the trap with him. I do NOT deal with rodents so the poor guy had to wait until Tim came home. The boys and I decided that we wanted to go set him free (Tim thought this a little extreme!) but with the trap attached we put him in a tupperware and drove to a nearby field and released him. Yes, this was a family event! The little guy was very into the camera!

On Saturday we went on a hike at a nearby state park. The boys loved it and it was great to get outside. At the beginning of the hike there were a bunch of deer right next to the trail. The boys had never been that close before!

After we came home from our hike, Jack lost his second tooth. He could not be more excited to go back to school today and show everyone!

A Day at the Zoo....

Well, it is spring break week here. The weather hasn't been that nice but today was better so we made the most of it and went to the zoo. We hadn't been for almost two months so it was time! Jack and Will love the zoo and Andrew is just starting to really get into. This was the first time that I didn't bring the stroller so Andrew just ran after his brothers naming as many animals as he could (with Jack and Will as brothers he actually can name so many!). Jack said that his favorite animal today was the ostrich, Will the zebras and elephants, and Andrew the elephants (although he shouted "stinky" when we went into the elephant house to see them!). I included a few pics from our day ( the wolf picture is for all of you who have come to the zoo with us and never seen the wolves- the boys wanted me to show everyone that they really are here!).

We put our house on the market again yesterday. We aren't going far-about 1/2 mile down the road. With three growing boys we need a little more space! We found a house that would be great for us so we are hopeful that everything works out. We are hoping that it doesn't take too long- it is hard to keep the house "show ready" with these three boys running around! Please keep your fingers crossed and we will keep you posted!
