Weekend Stroll

We were in Muenster this past weekend for a curling tournament that Daniel and his brother/brother-in-laws were in. It was also a chance for us to see the family there because we won't be back next weekend for Easter. The babies had fun at grandma and grandpa's running around their place. Casey was determined to get at grandpa's big screen tv, Mitchell found little nooks to hide in and under and Maggie liked looking at and touching the butterfly stencils on the walls. They also had fun with some of their cousins, aunts and uncles, great aunt and uncle and 2 great grandmas. On Saturday we took the babies out for a little stroll. They did really good walking holding our hands. To start out with I had Maggie and Daniel had the boys. Well, I found out that Maggie and I will be able to go speed walking, she meant business. We got way ahead of the boys, turned back around to catch up to them and then we were off again. The boys on the other hand were a little more pokey and were distracted by the rocks, gravel, trees and whatever else they saw. They also kind of crossed back and forth while holding Daniel's hands so they got a little twisted up.

Casey and I got these pictures of Daniel, Mitchell and Maggie. They looked so cute holding his hand. And so grown up!!


Daniel's parents house only has a shower so they got a tub for the babies to have a bath in this weekend. They were excited and had fun playing for a while, but then Casey was feeling a little too squished and wanted out.



Mitchell was the last one left in and had a ball splashing himself and everything around him.

We are very lucky to have such supportive parents (and grandparents for our kids). They have helped us so much this past year and and a half and are always there if we need something (or someone). Having said that, all of our family has been there for us and is always more than willing and able to lend us a hand when we need it...usually in the form of babysitting.

My parents have been in Arizona for the past month and I think now are pretty anxious to get back and see all of their grandchildren. We'll be getting together at my brother and sister-in-laws for Easter on Sunday. Have a safe drive home grandma and grandpa!
