Great Wolf Lodge

We spent a couple days over spring break at Great Wolf Lodge.  The kids had been to the one out in Kansas City several times, so it was fun to check a new one out closer to Roanoke this time.

The girls especially enjoyed story time each night.

They got to meet Wiley and Violet after the story one night.

And of course goofy pictures were necessary.

The next day they got their faces painted, and they decorated their wolf ears at the kids' center.

And they got to meet Oliver and Brinley that night.

Happy Haircut!

It's that time of year - Cole got his annual summer cut - at least the first of many for the summer.

This was the longest his hair had ever gotten, so it was a major cut.

Looking smooth!

Happy Easter!

Easter is such a joyous day to celebrate - remembering that Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death, hell, and the grave is a wonderful truth in which Christians delight.

Because it's such a special day, it's also fun to dress up a little more for church and celebrate His resurrection with others.  Here the kids are in their best attire - this was the first Sunday that Cole has worn a tie since we've been in Roanoke!

So thankful we got a good family picture.

And after church we enjoyed eating and having an egg hunt with friends.  So silly!

Happy Easter, everyone.  He is risen indeed!

What's up with Cole...

Cole has had a busy week...

First, he started t-ball this week.  He is so excited to finally get to play on a team and have some games!

And he's been working all week on learning Mother Goose rhymes at school.

Today all the kindergarteners presented their nursery rhymes to the parents.

Cole chose Humpty Dumpty, and he did a great job memorizing and reciting it.

Look at that great sad face when he said Humpty couldn't be put back together again.

Cole was very pleased when he was done.  He was so much fun to watch!
