Almost every morning Brindi will climb into Levi's crib and sing to him, read to him, and try to play with him. She truly is a sweet and kind little girl. She even gets a little upset on the days she does not have the opportunity to climb into the crib.
Enjoying a little story time with Brindi. She has developed a great love for the flip tab books and always wants one before bed even when she already picked other books. She thinks she has to end her night with one of them.
One of my classes requires students to create a lead a small leisure activity with different themes from sports to arts to fitness and for a variety of ages. One student taught how to create balloon animals. Luckily, many of my students did not want to take the balloons home for themselves so my little girls were spoiled:)
I surprised Celeste with tickets to a Cardinals game and because Levi was too young to be left at home he was able to experience his first baseball game:) It was a great game and we even received jerseys for attending. I love spending time with my wife!
Happy Easter! We had another great holiday. It is always a great time of the year when life seems to enter back into our lives as the flowers start to bloom and the leaves start to grow on the trees and for most species the young ones are born. Is it any wonder this is the season for the resurrection of our Lord. We are so appreciative of our Savior and though the holiday has taken a more worldly view by society we still try and focus on the true reason we celebrate this holiday.
We took a family night to dedicate to making our colored eggs. The girls always love doing this activity and they are getting pretty good at doing most of it themselves.
We also headed out for another Egg Hunt at Weldon Springs. This is by far our favorite egg hunt in the area. They have these golden and silver eggs that you can turn in for big prizes. We didn't get any of those eggs last year so this year we were determined to get at least one. When we arrived we scoped out the egg field and quickly found a couple golden eggs that we were going to go after. We actually kind of hovered over one egg to make sure we got it when they said go. We were also very lucky as we ran across the field to find another one, so both our girls were able to get big prizes. Not to mention there was a lot of candy in those eggs. Also to our amazement, Brindi actually sat on the Easter Bunnies lap! Brooke was another story.
Easter morning was a good time as you can see through the video above. I think the girls were very pleased with Peter Cottontail's gifts. Spring clothing, kits, candy, a chocolate bunny, and new CTR rings. What more cold a kid want!
Celeste also took the time to make rice crispy egg nests for Brindi. She loved making these little nests and I loved eating them whole!
One of my students was completing her internship at Lake St. Louis Parks and Recreation and I decided to make the her evaluation a family affair and took the girls to their Easter egg hunt. The girls had a blast. They got new egg baskets for free, pony rides, buggy rides, bounce house jumping, playground sliding, and of course lots and lots of eggs! I love spending time with my girls. We always have a blast.
