All Aboard!

We had a glorious day on Saturday. Grandma, Matt, Linc, and I went to Greenfield Village and got to ride on Thomas the Tank Engine.

Here comes Thomas! His eyes moved and everything. Very cute.

Check us out with Sir Topham Hatt. As with the Easter bunny, Linc wasn't all that thrilled to have a pic taken with some weird character, but he agreed to go up as long as daddy held him. The little girl who was in line in front of us was the exact opposite - she marched right up and told Topham Hat all about her boo boo's, what she did yesterday, yadda yadda. She was a bit older than Linc though.

They had all sorts of tents set up with cool activities. Here's Lincoln scooting Thomas around on a track. He also got to ride around in an old-fashioned car, play with bubbles, listen to Thomas stories, and try to hula hoop (I showed him how it was done!).

And of course we had to stop to get a Thomas tattoo.
This Thomas was built out of Legos. Choo choo!

After the train ride with dad and Grandma. And finally, back at home, here is Linc wearing the 3D glasses that he got, looking through a catalog of Thomas & Friends trains. Hmmm...which one do I like best?

4 months

Well, Cassie is now 4 months old. The time is going quickly and she's changing every day. She likes to chat it up like her big brother. Seriously, how did we get two chatty kids? And dare I say she may actually be sleeping through the night? It's been just about a full week of her not waking up for her middle-of-the-night feeding. Of course, the fact that I just put that in writing means that she'll wake me up at 2 a.m. tonight!

Anyway, here are a few pics from this week.

Here she is trying to be a girly girl in the cute dress that Aunt Becca & Uncle Tony got for her!

And here she is practicing pat-a-cake with Grandma.

This is Cass on her 4-month birthday. I think she resembles her big brother in this pic.

Finally, here's Cassie showing off her tummy time skillz.

Spring time and winter hats.

We've been trying to get outside as much as possible since spring time has officially arrived and we're tired of being cooped up in the house! Of course, spring time in Michigan means keeping out the winter hats and gloves...




They had a real helicopter come and drop tons of giant marshmallows at school this week. All of the kids scooped up as many as they could. In return, they got a bottle of bubbles as a reward. Fun times! We had to do bubbles right away, of course, so out we went in the chilly spring air and watched the bubbles fly in the wind all the way down the street.

Here's Cassie enjoying some fresh springtime air with Yia Yia and Papou.

A pic with the Easter bunny...no thanks.

We went to the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt for the first time this year. Lincoln refused to get a pic with the cute, fuzzy Easter bunny. Oh well. He did end up giving him a high-five at the end of the hunt.


Here's Linc showing off his loot. He was more timid than we expected when hunting for the eggs. We figured he'd charge around grabbing as many as possible, but he actually needed some prodding.


Here, Linc and daddy are coloring eggs. We did "Cars" eggs this year. Linc got to decorate them with Cars stickers when they dried. His favorite egg was the yellow one as always. :)


And here is Cassidy's with her first little Easter basket. The Easter bunny filled her eggs with money for her piggy bank since she can't eat chocolate yet!

Opening Day.

So I thought I'd join the club and blog a bit. I thought it fitting that I open our blog with some Tigers opening day pics. Ok, so only daddy actually went to the game, but the rest of the family wore Tigers gear. Here's a pic of the kids supporting their team!
