Last Day of 2!

Last day as a 2 year old!! We spent the day playing with friends at the park, coming home for nap, playing outside with little brother, riding bikes up the stairs, and enjoying the last few moments of being two. Bring on THREE!!

We Made It!

Hooray! This little time period of working full time is done and whew, it was a hard one. I am really enjoying my new job at the hospital but, I'm ready to have more time to spend with my family again. I am so thankful that I have this chance to work a little less and be there a little more for my family. I love my boys so much and have missed them. And I also have a birthday party to plan for a soon to be one year old and very soon to be 3 year old!

Out for a Walk

I had a day off this week with my boys and we had no plans! It turned out to be the perfect day. We were dressed and ready for the day and decided to go for a walk. Ezra needed a nap and Cohen needed out of the house so off we went. First, we walked through the local coffee shop drive through and got coffee for me and Cohen got hot chocolate as a little treat. 

Since Ezra was asleep, we decided to keep walking. We walked to the park to let Cohen play. He actually played! He climbed the play structures, voluntarily went down the slides, and even went on the teeter totter. I was quite impressed because he usually demands so much help, but not today! Off he went! It always makes my heart happy to see him climb and play confidently. 

We found this tiny little wagon and Cohen loves it. Takes it everywhere. Tries to ride in it. Tries to get me to ride in it. Would probably take it to  bed with him if we let him. Meanwhile....

And, he's up! 

I love these boys so much and it was just what my heart needed to spend a relaxing day with them. They are growing up too fast! 

Picture Day

My neighbor friend took these pictures of the boys in their Easter outfits. I think they are pretty stinkin' cute and I can't believe how fast these boys are growing up. I wasn't intending to get my picture taken, hence the purple wool socks and "just rolled out of bed" hair, but I'm glad to have pictures with my boys!

 {I love this one of him, it is so him. A wise soul who thinks everything is "so cute!"}

The Great Outdoors

Spring cannot come fast enough around here. With two busy boys who like to play outside, we are always desperate for spring. Non-rainy, cloth diapers drying in the sun, playing at the park, chalk on the sidewalk kind of weather. We've been working on our yard a bit and trying to spruce the place up. The boys love to "help" which usually involves eating dirt or throwing rocks.

 Today we went on a little outing to a local park and Cohen had a blast. He was free to run around without us having to worry about cars or him getting away. The park has nice trails that we can use our new (to us) double jogging stroller on! I see much more of this park in our future. A little hidden forest, quiet and calm.

We tend to get a little cramped in our small house, so outings are necessary. Bring on the nice weather!
