3-month Picture Dump

Caden is already 3 months old--I can't believe it!  I had hoped to share several blog posts in that time since he is growing and changing so fast, but I just haven't gotten around to them.  Imagine that.  So, here is a recap of the last month-and-a-half or so.  Lots of baby goodness to soak up....


late February



bundled up for a family walk


Caden is tucked inside



2 months old



Hanging with my boys at home--we do a lot of that these days.



little builder



The sweet Garden Club ladies had a shower for me and Kari.  Her little bundle is due in mid May.


sometimes he's a bit confused about who is the baby of the house



ssttrrreeeeeeeeetch....


the spider was my favorite of Isaac's shirts, and I am enjoying it again


sweet brothers--they adore one another



someone is excited to be playing outside again



3 months old, laughing and smiling

Caden and I had a mini photo shoot






Duhgus likes to get in on the action


Yum....baby toes


2 in diapers....looking forward to the end of that



his chunkiness


When Dad bundled up to go outside and scoop poop, Isaac decided to do the same, but inside.




We are thrilled to finally have a sand box!  Matt finished it last weekend.  Isaac loves it.




We are loving being able to play in our yard once again.  The snow in the main yard has completely melted.  There's only the ice berm left.


We are placing bets as to when the berm will disappear completely.  So far we have these guesses:
Me -- June 15
Matthew -- June 1
Mary -- May 18
Any other wagers?

A Camping We Will Go

We bought a camper trailer!  It is a 1988 Kit Calay.  Kits are no longer made, but we are told they are good quality trailers.


We are very excited for our forthcoming camping adventures.  Although Matt and I have always loved tent camping, our reality is that we are a family with little ones, and it's nice to keep them warm and dry.  We think the camper will allow for more time living outside than a tent does.  Now if summer would just get here--it might be a couple of months yet.


Kitchenette complete with gas stove, oven, sink, and refrigerator.  Brewing coffee in the comfort of a warm trailer in the early mornings will be oh so nice!


 Tiny bathroom.  I foresee it being used mostly to hose off filthy kids at the end of a day.


Gather 'round the table, and then make it your bed.


 This is me feeling very excited to be wearing my regular jeans for the first time post pregnancy.  Woo hoo!!


Doesn't it match our house so nicely??  Maybe we should hold off on the painting project we hope to do this summer.
