Spring is here?

April has finally brought some time for the kids to play outside, and it will come as no surprise that the kids are LOVING it. They are enjoying the sandbox, bikes, and the best investment ever - our Backyard Adventures fort / playground. Cadel climbs all the way up the tall ladderand no fear right down the big slide. She even tried it head first once - yikes! Ullrich is most proud of his big boy biking. He would ride his bike all the time if we let him. With all the time the kids want to spend outside, we are finally starting to make some progress on our yard, too! We had a terrific Easter this year, spending morning at home as a family, followed by brunch with the Scherer family, and then an Easter egg hunt at our friends the Dixons' house with Ullrich and Cadel's friends Tuco and Ronnie. The kids had a blast and found waaaay too much candy, of course! It has been great having Heidee, Chuck, Harmon, and Tory back in MN, too. We've clocked a ton of cousin time, and have the Iowa relatives convinced that they should come up here for birthdays and maybe even holidays going forward. It is so fun for Ullrich to regularly get to see his Grimes side family and he so loves them. You'll see pictures from our zoo trip and Harmon's 8th birthday mixed in this set. Life is so great right now. We both have client work that we really like, and plenty of time to spend with our amazing little family. Love to all of you, friends!!
