Connecticut

As if one trip was not enough, we pretty much turned right around after Easter and went to Connecticut.  While Daddy was working at a conference we got to hang out with Nana and Grandpa.  I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a few.

 Phineas was excited to test out our new stroller and headphones before we went to the airport.

  We also got a second round of Easter with an Easter egg hunt in the basement.

Easter Part 2

Here are the rest of the pictures from our Easter trip to Cleveland

Everybody had a stick

At the end when we looked in Phin's bag, we found that he had not only found eggs, but had been collecting leaves that he found as well.  

Easter Part 1

Things have been very busy in our household and we have been traveling a lot near the end of March.  I'm finally having a second to start uploading pictures.  For Easter, we traveled to Cleveland to see family.  Here are some of my favorite shots:

Birthday Party

Two weekends ago we celebrated Jonas's first birthday.  We had some good friends and their kids come out to celebrate with us.  Here are some pictures from the party.

Birthday Videos

Here are two videos from Jonas's birthday party.  The first one is us singing "Happy Birthday" and the second shows Jonas enjoying his cake.  I am sad that both seem to be out of focus although I did capture the moment.

 

Jonas is 1!

More pictures and videos will follow, however, I thought I'd put up something short tonight. Jonas had a wonderful first birthday today and a great time celebrating with friends.  He had fun with the balloons and LOVED the cake.  He grabbed it with both hands and shoveled it in.  He is such a sweet, happy boy and we feel so lucky to be able to have him as a part of our family.  Happy Birthday little guy!

 

Warm Weather

We are enjoying the warm weather, as I think most people are.  While things are busy in the preparation for Jonas's first birthday later this week, we have been able to get out and go for walks and go to the playground.  

Phin has learned how to go up the big kid playground equipment and go down the big slide all by himself (a first).

Jonas loved the swings.

 The boys enjoyed swinging with each other.

Another day hanging out by the pool in our neighborhood, just waiting for it to open.  This one is a smile looking into the wonderful sunshine.
