April Events

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks that haven't seemed to make their way into any blog posts.

While we have lived in Utah, we've had a chance to make some great friends. We've been lucky to be able to spend time together and let our kids play.  Jimmie will sure miss playing with Wesley :)

So proud of their block towers!

I got to come babysit Wesley earlier this month and borrowed my friend's Mei Tai baby carrier.  Lorelei didn't love it that day, but has since come to really like it :) 

Good buddies just cracking up, having a grand ole time.

Getting some beauty rest and soaking up the sun

Miss Lorelei, since day 1, has had so much hair and it's so spiky! Hair gets washed and the back half of it just spikes up into a little peak.  

It's gotten even longer and is now long enough to put it in a little bow and still have some sticking through the top.  Cracks. Me. UP!

We were also SO lucky to have Jim's Aunt Kim come and visit us for a little while over this last week.  We drove up to Park City, which is a little less than an hour away, to stay at a resort and have a nice little vacation.  I wish I had taken more pictures!  But here are a few that we captured. I guess we were too busy having a lot of fun to take pictures :) Too many fun games and literal tears shed in laughter.

And unlike last summer… Jimmie really liked the pool! Woo! Success!!

Still a little standoffish before getting in the pool...

Playing in the tub

We also had the chance to go shopping at the Tanger Outlets. 

How cute does he look in this little hat!

Jimmie got to ride in a special grocery cart that we found when we went grocery shopping upon arriving in Park City

Mommy's big 2 month old on an early Saturday morning

Playing in the pool with Daddy and Mommy

He learned pretty quickly how to kick his feet behind him

After the pool, we let Jimmie stick his feet in the hot tub for a little while to relax.

Aunt Kim holding Lorelei.  Look at her just look at her…so happy :)

Aunt Kim brought Jimmie some pretty fun things. One of which was some great crayons with a giant roll of paper to color on!  He's caught on to coloring a bit more very recently.

Unfortunately, he's also taken to coloring on the walls.  Haha! We found that out at the timeshare.  I also found the secret to getting the crayon off of the wall :)

Jimmie and Lorelei are becoming such great friends.  It's so so fun to watch.

The hitting will happen every once and a while still, but it's happening very rarely now.

Lorelei spends most of her time awake just laughing at her brother while he gives her her binky, wipes her face, kisses her toes, tickles her, and talks to her. 

Jimmie is fascinated by her.  He always wants to hold her, pick her up, talk to her, and take care of her. Heaven forbid we start to put him to bed and forget to let him give her a kiss.  He's already such a great, protective big brother.  

So grateful to have such great family and friends blessing our little family continually!
