These past two months have been a lot of fun but kinda hectic. John has been traveling more than ever and we are trying to get things organized for this year. James was able to get into our first choice for preschool (yay!) and he is signed up for soccer as well as a few summer camps. It's going to be a busy year but as long as most of the preparing is done by the time the warm weather hits, I will be happy. I want to be able to relax and enjoy the heat this summer!

Addy is teething. Her two top teeth are coming in and she is miserable - frozen waffles have been a huge hit with her!

There is this fantastic park by Lake Norman - it has lots of things to climb on and it is fenced in so that I don't feel like I have to constantly hover.

Our mommy group was able to get a tour of the local fire station. The big highlight was of course the firetrucks. The kids were able to climb all over it and turn on the siren - so exciting for them.

James loves his Duke

And Madeleine loves her Bronx.

James and his friend Griffin have so much energy that we took them to a place full of bounce houses - and they jumped for 2 hours. It was a great place to just let them go and run!

Madeleine is pulling herself up now! John lowered her crib the day she stood in her crib, but she was so proud of herself!

Last week we went to a neighbor's house for dinner and the boys made dinner for everyone - homemade pizza!

Playing with the "stomp rocket" - a very cool toy.
