"Camping"

The older 3 kids love to pretend they are camping in a tent in their bedroom.  I love that they enjoy each other (most of the time!).

One year later........

 

I can't believe my baby will be 1 on Sunday!  This was the fastest year of my life. :)

Gooseberry Falls

 

 

 

 

A few weeks ago we visited a place on the North Shore called Gooseberry Falls.  It involves high cliffs and drop-offs and so we've never taken the kids off the main trail.  This time, we decided to have a real hike and take the whole trail around the falls.  It was really fun (although Andy and I had a tight grip on the wrist of every child the entire time!).  In the last couple photos, the kids are playing with their new caterpillar friends. They LOVE bugs!

Puddles are fun!

 

 

Happy Easter

 

 

 

The kids were really cold for these...  I think it was only 38 degrees.

These are the pictures from the kids bible we were reading out of.

This isn't that great of a photo, but I love it because this expression on his face is one that I want to remember.
