Out and About

While I have not been getting the kids out (beyond the backyard, that is) as much as I'd like, I'm grateful that they enjoy any little outing upon which we embark.  The following were taken during some such modest adventures.

Waiting in the vehicle to head home from church.

Moving through the tunnels at the playground.

Backyard Fun and Games

Happy Birthday, Clyde!  Although Clyde wouldn't let us do anything to celebrate his birthday, we did spend most of the weekend day just playing and hanging out as a foursome--one of his favorite things to do!  As the third trimester slows me down and work keeps Clyde very busy, we are thankful for the creativity of our kids to enjoy spending time in their own backyard (literally!).  We are especially grateful to have the most wonderful husband and father--we wish we could do more to show him how much we love and appreciate him!  Though these were not all taken this weekend, I remembered I had some fun backyard pictures to share...

Before playing outside, we need a great lunch!  Clyde shows Aiden how to make one of his childhood favorites--pigs in a blanket.

 Oh, it's also important to be rested.  Thanks for the reminder, Audra.

Aiden's working on his tree-climbing skills.

Audra loves being outside, just like her big brother.

Audra figured out how to climb in the wagon all by herself!

Aiden uses Kona for some gymnastics practice.

We're thankful for Kona's patience with the kids!

Audra considers jumping ship...

...Especially after watching her brother do it!

A chilly wind won't keep Miss Audra from playing outside!
