April

While Chris was out working in the yard, he heard a little chirping noise and looked down in the grass to find a tiny, little bunny.  He called us out to come see it and Jane got to hold it.  Then we discovered the rest of the bunnies.  Five bunnies all cuddled up together in a little nest in our yard.  We loved having them there and would go out and check on them daily.  One didn't make it, but after about a week, we saw the rest of them bounce into the forest behind our house. 

Collecting sticks to throw in puddles on the trail behind our house.

Mama and baby selfie.

Jane and Peter are always dressing up together.  Sometimes it's super heros and sometimes it's princesses.  This time it was "cowboy ballerinas."  They sure are fun.

There is a rock pile on an empty lot that we came across on a family walk.  Jane and Peter had a blast as you can imagine and now ask to go back every time we go on a walk.  I just love how Peter throws the rocks.  It's pretty dangerous and unpredictable, but so cute.

Our Tiny Dancer

Jane took her first ballet class at the YMCA.  She was easily the smallest and probably the youngest in her class, but come recital time, she diligently followed the whole routine carefully while other lost interest or just sat down altogether.  Most importantly, she loved going to her ballet class each week.  We're so in love with our tiny dancer!  

 I love the hug from her supportive brother.  They are mostly so sweet to each other.

Happy Birthday, Chris!

We had a great time on Chris's birthday.  I made him his traditional chocolate sheet cake. We had balloons and streamers.  The kids made him cards earlier that day, and thank goodness, Jane remembered the party hats right before Chris blew out the candles.  We everything in place.  Birthdays are so much more fun with a couple of toddlers around.  They get so excited for the every piece.  The party hats were an especially big hit as you can see from all the photos.   Definitely worth the dollar I spent on them.

After presents and birthday cake, we left the kids with a babysitter and headed out to get sushi with a few other couples.  It was such a fun night with a really fun group of friends.  After sushi, no one wanted to go home, so we decided to go bowling.  It ended up being a really perfect night.
