Spring Break in Pictures

Our Spring Break was actually Mar 23-Apr 5, but i wanted to spend SB with my family in Virginia, so we extended our break into theirs and flew to DC April 6th. There was so much i wanted to do and so many people to see, (go downtown to see the cherry blossoms, hit a Smithsonian or two, see a friend in Maryland; etc) but i ended up taking it pretty easy and was just happy to be there, to feel well and to spend time with my family and a couple friends.

The boys had a blast with their cousins Fiona and Chloe. They never grew tired of them and played so well. Doug flew out on Thursday to spend Easter weekend with us, so that was great to have him there.

love this shot of Keegs. They loved the trampoline. We might have to resurrect ours this summer.

It was a great time, I was so glad we got to be out there.

The kids were so fun for Easter.

Ashlee didn't mention my catching Bode crawling out from under Grandma's table after he had snuck his chocolate bunny under there and devoured the whole thing, smashing chocolate crumbs into Grandma's white carpet. It was very tense for a bit, but I can laugh at it now. He came out with chocolate all over his face and hands and when I asked him what he had been doing, he said "Nothing".

Wonder who he gets that from?

Yeah, we had two spring breaks as well. Good times. Looks like you had a lovely trip!

What cute pictures. I'm missing Maryland today. Looking at your blog just made it worse! Let's move back together!

What a true life family picture (minus the tears and tantrums that occasionally erupt!) You look great as always. Keegan looks more and more like Doug. Both of the boys are getting so big! It's crazy. That's funny about Bode crawling under the table to devour chocolate, I've got one of those too!!! By the way, I really can't wait to find out what you are having! I'm sure you can't either.....
