Recent Springtime Happenings

I thought I'd just quickly catch myself up on here by posting a few pictures to show what we have been up to this spring so far.  These are mostly of the fun we have at home each day, with a few from actual outings we've been on. Enjoy!

Noah and Dan ventured down to Baltimore to watch a Hopkins Lacrosse game with Pops (my father-in-law). It was a gorgeous, sunny day and they took advantage of it! Noah loved the live band and the ice cream food trucks, of course. 

We tried out the cutest cafe with my mom. Noah enjoyed baked oatmeal, while I devoured some quiche and this lovely latte. Graham slept the whole time, so the peaceful atmosphere won points from him as well. 

We take lots of walks with these two. Both of them LOVE getting outside and Noah enjoys identifying the local trash trucks, mail trucks, "diggers", squirrels, "lil kids", and "ssiah" (the college down the road). He always asks so sweetly to get out and throw rocks when we reach the creek that's nearby. These walks are one of my favorite parts of the day. Because one, the kids are contained, and two, we just chill and talk :)

A wedding date. Weddings have become one of our typical date nights these days. We got to go to Kent Island and celeberate the marriage of a close college friend. Dan and I enjoyed some loud music in car, good, adult conversation, and some yummy food that we didn't have to cook. It's the little things, I tell ya. 

Another walk picture, of course. 

Teaching the boy to bake. He loves it. Especially when we bake things like cookies and brownies. He is learning the art of stirring and licking the spoon!

Almost every day that it is nice, we try to hit up one of the many local parks around. This slide is Noah's favorite right now because he can go down in all sorts of creative ways.

This year we were able to celebrate Easter Sunday with both sides of our family, which was so nice! Here is us attempting to get a picture with most of us. As you can see, Noah just wanted to check his Easter eggs for Cheerios, cranberries, and peanut butter chips. 

Playtime. 

Surprise! I think the saying is, "when the husband is away, the wife will play" or something...? Well when Dan traveled this last time for work, I got an idea to paint our bathroom. We both really like how it turned out. Thanks, dad, for all of your help!
