Happy Easter

Post church...and I had to include both the spider-man hand

and the thumbs-up.  

Welcome Spring!!

So glad that the weather is turning!  Winter keeps getting longer and longer the older I get.  The kids have been playing outside the last few days riding bikes, blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk...I think the front door has opened and closed 100 times this past week.  It snowed a little bit last night but I think it will warm up again by the weekend.  We have 6 weeks to enjoy everything we love about Omaha!  Access to swings basically in front of our house is definitely one thing we will miss.

Different Peas in the same Pod

This week I have pulled multiple tiny little objects out of Sidney's mouth.  It worries me!  I just can't believe how quick and sly she is about it.  I have always been paranoid about one of my babies choking on something, and she has made me extra worried.  I honestly don't think I ever had to pull things out of Kinnie's or Andrew's mouth.  She is her own person and has made me realize how different our children are from one another.  Parenting would be a pretty easy job if our kids were all of the same and  we could parent them all in the same way but that is definitely not the case.  They all develop, grow, learn, change, and experiment differently.  They each have their own personalities, difficulties, and needs.  I also don't think parenthood would be as fulfilling if it was easy.  I didn't realize how challenging, stressful, and hard having children would be (and I know it is just going to get harder) but I would never ever change anything or go back because it is the best, hardest thing Landon and I will ever do.  The most fulfilling, the most rewarding, the most enjoyable!
