Train Ride






This week has been super exciting! We went on the train (the coaster) from downtown to Solana Beach. Evan was beyond excited, but you can't tell from the pictures. He's funny, his excitement about being on a train is reserved. He's super excited but he just geeks out about it. It was so fun watching him take it all in. Checking out the trains, looking out the window, watching for the conductor, and exploring the cabin. Kate just liked standing up and trying to keep her balance. When we got to Solana beach we went to the park and then headed to dinner at the Pizza Port. It was a great little mid-week trip. Thanks to the Traina's for planning it! Thanks to your kids for making it even more fun for my kids!

March






Where oh where did March go? March was a crazy busy month for this little family. We had birthdays, family and more family to visit. We have been swamped with rain and cold weather- but I'm not complaining, I love the change of weather. Plus, it will only make us more grateful when the sunny weather returns! This month ended with a visit to Arizona to meet our newest cousin Van. He is the pretties boy I've ever seen! We also saw Mac (his brother), not to mention to cousins on the other side of the family. It was good to see the babies, but a less than stellar trip due to my own kids being sick! We (or I should say I) were glad to come home. On to April- hopefully exciting, but a little less so.

Jeep




Paul found this little gem at a garage sale- and it has been making my kids happy ever since. Evan and Kate both LOVE it. When Evan isn't around to drive it, Kate can be found trying to take it for a spin. Probably the best part is how happy they both are to be in it. It has been the one toy they can both agree on. Evan just smiles while driving it, and Kate just smiles while riding alongside him. If only she knew the risk she was taking! Today Evan was riding his scooter behind it while his friend Max drove! I'm afraid this is only the beginning of the anxiety of being a boys mom. Good find dad!
