Spring forward!

Wow! What a beautiful weekend we've had. Pleasant weather and plenty do to...

Starting with swim lessons yesterday morning... Kids did great, they are like fish!
Ok, not quite. But they sure are cute. 

 After a quick swim, Robert showed off his athletic ability as he hung from the rim in the gym. 

What a stud!

 Josh, Jackson, Robert and Madball did a double attempt...

 but the kids were more interested in playing on the bleachers.

 We wrapped up Saturday night with church and then a trip to the mall to purchase these fabulous shoes for little Pipers growing feet.

And then we woke up to a lovely Sunday morning, nothing would do but putting in our helmets and going for the first bike ride of the year!

Even the dogs got to come with us in the burley.

Its a dog gone good life...

Daddy and Madball

Mommy and P pie

Afterward we played outdoors. Piper is learning how to ride the balance bike.  She has a bit of growing to do but we don't doubt she'll be flying down the road next to her bro very soon!

Within 10 minutes of laying down, both of my babies were sound asleep!

Yes, it is possible to sleep in this position!

An afternoon of art!

Today the sun was shining bright and we decided that it was time to freshen up our morning room with some new art... Including Piper's first finger painting.
Maddox is an old pro. Piper, of course wasn't to sure about it when we started, but I think by the time we finished she was getting the hang of it. Neither of my children are really keen on getting their hands dirty. So this is a stretch!

                           Piper, we do not eat finger paint... no matter how wonderful it tastes!

Or doesn't taste!

Works of Art

On a different note, Robert wrapped up his last finance monthly close meeting for financial reporting in this fabulous outfit. He lost a bet a few months go and his team cashed out today when Robert had to wear the hot pink, short shorts to the meeting. Of course he looked fabulous and totally pulled it off. He now starts his new position at A&F in financial planning and analysis. We are very proud of him!

Snow snow snow!

We woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland this past Wednesday morning. Everything was covered. Even though we are ready for warm weather, we certainly love to watch the snow fall. It's so peaceful and quiet on our street. Piper watched her daddy shovel the drive before he left for work. Such a good guy! Hopefully a beautiful ending to a beautiful winter.

Good life

Tonight I watched Maddox chase Piper, while she chased Robert in circles. It was so sweet to hear them laughing and giggling! They were so happy and thrilled to be running from bedroom to bedroom! Piper is growing again, her 12 month clothes definitely don't fit her well anymore. Her little belly hangs out of her swimsuit at swim class. Maddox and Piper both seem to love the water. It's so fun to watch Piper wiggle in the water, she flops around like a little fish. They have classes every week until April. Their buddy, Jackson is also in the class.
I took them to see the train at Easton on Friday. Maddox is still very impressed with it and just enjoys watching them go round and round. He runs from side and side and gets so excited. It melts my heart. Piper just follows him around, telling each passing person hello in her own gibberish... Lately her favorite word has been zig-O-by.. She intently has a conversation solely using that word. Amazing!
