Springtime at the Gardens

Today we went to Phipps as a family to explore the spring flowers.

Fair weather fun

At our trip to the park today, the mild weather enabled us to have a longer time to play. Casey, Gavin, and Liam stretched themselves by climbing new structures and having fun with familiar ones.

We celebrate our lucky blessings with St. Patrick

Today Casey, Gavin, and Liam enjoyed a fun picnic and storytime at Phipps. Liam was lucky to keep his shamrock in tact during the warm, sunny day.

Domestic Bliss

At home with the boys.

Happy Birthday to our three 3 year olds!

Casey, Gavin, and Liam have a mild to moderate love/appreciation/obsession with penguins, so we decided to indulge and encourage it by throwing them a party with a penguin theme. We were fortunate that the National Aviary features an African penguin exhibit, and for our special occasion, everyone got to meet Elvis. The penguin named Elvis, that is.

Sledding Adventures

Another snowstorm plowed over us, dumping our neighborhood with another 6 inches of snow. We didn't have to travel far to have a good sled ride; we just kept the snow on the ramp in front of our house and let the boys have at it.

Winter Storm Warning

Once upon a time, Paco and Chrissy relished oodles of fresh powder when they could escape to the mountains. This weekend we received around 28 inches of snow, and as a family we witnessed our neighborhood transform into new mountains of snow. Casey, Gavin, Liam, and even Belly enjoyed the winter transformation after the snow blast.
