Fun with Great Grandpa!  This is Addison's new funny smile.

Addison had lots of fun with Great Grandpa!

Clapping in baskets

Addison has been really curious about looking outside lately.  This is how I would find the poor girl many times trying to watch what was going on in the world.  Not very comfortable.

Now we have a stool and turned over pot so that they can both get up higher and look outside.  They love watching squirrels, cars and trains go by.

Giving each other a hug....how cute is that!

This is the face we now get from Caroline when we say "smile" and she sees the camera. 

SPRING!!!!!

Is there any better feeling than when you know spring is here?? The answer is NO! Seasons are something that I really missed when I lived in California and I appreciate them so much more ever since I moved back. You just can't beat the feeling of putting winter behind you and having the sense of renewal and a fresh start. I love it!

Something else I love is taking advantage of the warmer weather with Scott, Addison and Caroline.  This past weekend we went to the park and I loved how much more the girls were able to take part.  Last fall they were a bit timid about climbing on playground but now they are all for it.  They were even able to climb all over the big kid stuff!  This spring and summer are going to be filled with a lot more activities than last year and I am really looking forward to it. 

Here are a few pictures of our fun at the park.

Proof that spring is here!

Watching a train go by...Caroline wasn't feeling it.

North Carolina Vacation...Part 2

Part 2....

After the aquarium we stopped by a lighthouse that my mom wanted to see. Fortunately, we did not make a special trip, which we were planning on doing, since it was surrounded by scaffolding. It was still nice to see though.

That afternoon was warmer so we went down to the beach.  It was fun to watch the waves and to see Gwen and Sonja running away from them.

Addison liked watching the seagulls

Pool time again!

Another afternoon we went to see this lighthouse which was a lot more successful than the first one.

Sisters

Here is the whole gang.  It took me 3 tries before I was able to set the camera and run into place in enough time before the picture was taken!

Cousins!  Linnea might have a better shot but this was the best one that I could get

Linnea and I gave our mom these hometown puzzles for Christmas this past year without talking to each other.  Since we can't return them I thought it would be fun to have a race.  So it was me and Linnea against my mom and dad.  Linnea and I won!  The picture below documents the status of our puzzles when we finished.

The last day we were there was the best weather. 

Caroline had a great time at the beach this day.  Addison didn't care for it so much.

No trip to the beach is complete without someone being buried

Caroline giving Addison some love taps while I pack up our stuff the morning we left.

Overall, it was a great trip but Scott was missed during our many adventures.  We look forward to lots of spring fun together that we were not able to do with the girls last year.
