Movie & Eggs

We had so much fun at Marcus Cinemas watching "Hop" and eating junk food. After the movie, we dyed Easter eggs.

Ice Skating

 

Us girls had a blast ice skating for the first time. We went to an open skate at Chiller North during Emerson's nap. They were naturals!

Time with Emerson

 

I loved using vacation days to spend time with Emerson. We went on a "field trip" to Discount Tires to outfit the van, played restaurant, went to the playground, and had fun with friends. Bonus: Seth and I got our first COVID vaccinations.

Spring Break - Amish Country

 

The kids and I spent Monday and Tuesday in Amish Country (Seth had to work). We stayed at the Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek, home of the world's largest cuckoo clock. The kids reported their top 3:

-the scenery of Amish country and the shops

-all-you-can-eat buffets

-swimming

I would add they also seemed to like:

-time with mom

-playgrounds & play houses

-Spring weather, sounds of birds, and sunshine on their skin

Grandpa's Mower

 

We took Grandpa lunch and had some fun outside before heading home.

Last Day with Michele

Emerson surprised Michele with hydrangeas on his last day with her. We were all sad to say goodbye as Emerson transitions to Kiddie Academy to get a built-in preschool experience. He FaceTimed with Tessa (currently in Puerto Rico) to tell her goodbye, too. Ed and Michele told Seth that Emerson said he wanted them to watch his kids when he's a dad. <3 We're thankful he moves on feeling that way.

J.23

Proud of these fierce J.23 players - they put in the effort and support one another.

Emerson's First Playdate

Emerson was thrilled to have Ryland come over while Emma played with Winnie. Of all the fun things they did, eating marshmallows was their favorite activity.

 

Little Helper

 

Emerson was our helper at Oakland Nursery today. We chose some plants to add to the front of the house.

Zanesville Tournament

Kit did a great job during the Zanesville tournament. She had some good bumps and serves. It was the first time her coach put her in to serve for someone else!

 

Gymnastics Skills

 

Tonight Winnie climbed the rope quickly and worked on balance beam skills.

Emerson Goes to the Dentist

 

Emerson loved his first dental appointment at Delaware Pediatric Dentistry. He got to watch Home Alone while his teeth were cleaned. He took a goody bag home and was more cooperative with brushing and flossing than ever before.

Hide-and-Seek

 

It's great to be outside playing. Emerson enjoyed hide-and-seek at the park.

Kitster

 

Looking pretty in your new dress, Kit!

Dollar Tree Dinner

Winnie asked if she could make a "Dollar Tree dinner" so she can be ready for her first apartment. My work here is done :)

Flipper Class

 

Winnie started in a new class two weeks ago: Flippers! Parents aren't allowed in the COGC building, but we can watch using Zoom. Here are some screenshots of Winnie practicing a balance beam cartwheel.

Ice World

 

We took the kids and Sarah to see Ice World, a traveling ice sculpture exhibit. Winnie had the fun idea to play the Frozen soundtracks to add to our experience. Emerson got to high-five a penguin.

Celebrating Progress

 

Emerson is celebrating Big Grandpa being cigarette-free for 23 days! Keep it going!
