A quiet weekend away

We seem to be blessed with summer like weather in the winter and have taken full advantage of it. Just last weekend we headed to the cabin and had one of those weekends that seemed to last forever....in the best possible sense. We enjoyed each other, relaxed, and played all weekend. We started the weekend at a foggy beach and ended the weekend at a sunny beach. Liam was not the biggest fan of the beach....the texture of the sand was not his favorite.

Saturday morning was extremely foggy at the dock

We found some crab.....and a ton of oysters!

Again, Liam was not the biggest fan...ha.

We also went on a very long hike....that, of course, ended with a very large ice cream cone. No pain, no gain, right?! We were joined with Adam and Rachel. Callie loved having another strong boy to help her 'jump'

Teaching Liam how to build a sand castle

It was a beautiful day!

Excuse the crazy hair.....only way we could stop the wind from driving her crazy

Callie telling Liam to relax....it's just sand :-)

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Bikes

We are now a family of 4 pretty impressive bike riders.

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip. When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...
