April 2016

I got to join Hannah on a field trip to the Outdoor Learning Center.  This is a super cool place with a nature trail and an animal room. The students go every year but always talk about different things that relate to their Science curriculum.  I've been there many times with my students but it was fun to go as a parent.  In fact the last time I went on this trip was when I was pregnant with Hannah and doing a long term sub job.  =)

Abigail and her preschool choir got to sing in a concert with Miss Patty Cake.  The kids had so much fun.  It was a cute concert. Photo credit for concert photos goes to Jack Hess.

Since both girl's birthdays are so close to Christmas, it makes it really hard to schedule a birthday party with friends.  So we decided to wait until the weather warmed up and have a park party.  We had a random cool front that made it chillier than we hoped but not too bad.  And about half the friends we invited couldn't make it, but all in all it was a great party.  And we all had lots of fun!  Abigail for some reason didn't make it in the photo.

The college by my parent's house had 3 sets of Canadian geese come nest this spring.  So we've walked up there the last several Friday.  Nothing hatched yet, but here's a cute picture of Abigail and the baby ducks we found.

March 2016

Hannah's school had Spring Break at the very beginning of March and we headed up to Arkansas for a few days to visit Nathan's family.  It was great to see everyone!  The weather was actually pretty while we were there so we got to play at the park with Paw Paw.  And we got to hang out with some really great friends!

Sadly once we got back home all it did was rain so we spent the rest of the week inside.  Our park and zoo plans were thwarted.  =(  We did go to a library puppet show, make some crafts, and watch some movies.  So all in all it was a good break.

Hannah went  to her best friend's birthday party at Sweet and Sassy.  She got her hair and nails done and got to ride in a limo (around the parking lot) with Elsa!  Needless to say she had lots of fun!

Since we had such a mild winter with no snow, Good Friday was actually a holiday this year.  The weather actually cooperated and so we finally got to visit the zoo.  Grammy and Auntie Kara joined us this time too which was fun.  And we enjoyed seeing the Lego exhibit one more time.
