Outdoor weather at last!...

I hope your Easter was great. Unfortunately our entire family came down with the stomach bug... not so good. We were suppose to go to the beach for Easter. Needless to say we never made it to the Beach. The Easter Bunny had to come up with alternative plans. Actually, being home by ourselves turned out to be a special day. I managed to make it to the grocery store, Michael helped with dinner, and Meagan set the dinner table. It was all good!



Soccer Season is in full force for both kids. I think it is going to be a good Season...they both have my favorite number 8!



The weather is finally warming up so we can spend most of our time out door's. Nothing like ending your day around a fire roasting marshmallows...Bring on Summer!



Next post I'll share some latest outdoor projects. T

"Hopping" In To Say "Happy Easter"






We just returned from visiting the Wilson's in Harrisonburg, Va. We have been friends since our oldest kids were 18mths. old. They are now 9 and 10 and our youngest kids are 7 and 8. We try and visit at least twice a year. During our visit this time around we went hiking in Skyline Drive. What a beautiful place and amazing views of the mountains. The only sad part was we were missing a friend due to a stomach virus. We left on Tuesday morning and unfortunately, that stomach virus followed us home and my kids have been staying in the house the last two days recovering. I wanted to take the kids to see the Cherry Blossoms in D.C. and go for a hike around here before we head off to Delaware to visit the grandparents for Easter, however, I think we are just going to have lunch in the fort in our backyard today.

"Hopping" in before we head back out tomorrow (praying we are all well) to the beach and wishing you a very "Happy Easter"
