Spring Break

Well this week didn't turn out exactly as we'd planned. By Wednesday BOTH kids were sick -- Harrison with an ear infection/bad cough and Madeleine with a throat infection/bad cough. So we've ended up staying in for most of the week; although it's been great having Matt around to help since both kids are sick! :)

We were able to have sume fun outside early in the week. We all enjoyed being able to get out and play in the yard. Since this is Harrison's first year to really be able to get out and enjoy the backyard, it was fun to watch him explore it for the first time! He walked the perimeter, ate grass, played ball......just wore himself out! Madeleine kept showing him all the toys and teaching him how to play basketball and dig in the dirt!

Getting his daily fiber -- chewin' on some grass.

Making a basket.

Showing off the first battle wound of the year!

When it was time for Harrison's nap, Matt and I helped Madeleine learn to fly her Dora Kite. It was a super-windy day and we got that kite as high as the string would let us -- not bad for a $1 kite! Several of our neighbor friends came to check it out and then play in the backyard with Madeleine. She's so cute playing with them -- they're all older by 3-4 years, but they are so sweet with her and take care of her. She absolutely loves them!

Madeleine and Daddy......resting after a fun day!
