Another Spring Break

The week after Colb's spring break was Halli's spring break. Dad was busy with work, so Mom and Hal decided to come to Milwaukee. Poor Dad and Colb missed out on most of the festivities, but the girls played hard. We spent a day at the children's museum, played at the park, shopped 'til we dropped, and watch movies and chatted into the late hours of the night. It felt so good to have them here! Now Dev and I can't wait go to Utah in May!

Spring Break

Colby had Spring Break last week. It was pretty low-key this year. He caught up on some school stuff and life was pretty much the same as usual for Dev and me other than we did see Colb more. The weather was fabulous all week, and we loved being outside. Friday we decided to have a picnic by the lake. It was freezing! I forgot how much cooler it was right next to the water. We ended up eating our lunch and heading home much sooner than planned. I packed the camera, but the cold weather deterred our photo shoot so we just snapped a couple quick pictures. We're headed back when the weather really warms up again.

Freedom

I love this new stay-at-home mom life! The decrease in my stress level is amazing! I love not having so many crazy deadlines. I love having routine and freedom! What? We want to go to the zoo today? Okay, let's move laundry day to tomorrow. Done! This last week we did just that. We picked a warm day and headed to the zoo with some friends. Dev slept through most of it, but loved playing outside. Also, have I mentioned the fact that we have a walker at our house? She started about a month ago, but was walking well by 10 months. It kind of looks more like a little waddle, but we think it's pretty cute! She brings so much joy to our lives!
