Activities

After hibernating all winter, it felt soooo good to get out into the sunshine.  I feel like our neighborhood has come alive as well with people.  We were incredibly eager to  use our green thumb and plant a few days prior to Earth Day.  It was a fun afternoon to include the kids.  Siena is even sporting her gardening gloves.  We now have a peach tree and a dogwood tree, as well as some vegetables we hope to harvest in summer. 

 Siena got a big treat when her Prince Charming took her to a princess ball.  Siena dressed up as Belle and the two went dancing, waited for a carriage ride and enjoyed each other's company.  Kurt commented on how grown up Siena has become, but I think she just loves her Daddy.

 Siena has always had great balance but here she is using stilts in her Tumbleweeds class that many kids struggled with.  She has really excelled in this class. 

We had a fun filled Easter weekend with a trip to Lucky Ladd farm with an Easter egg hunt and a petting zoo.  Siena loved the colorful eggs and Carson loved the miniature pony.  He had to drag him away to see the other animals.   

We spent another special holiday with our extended family, the Hamricks.  Once upon a time, there was two couples who would get together for dinner while in college.  Ten years later, we still get together for dinner to celebrate the important things in life and our 6 children.  

And we had out of town guests with us this Easter; what a treat!  We did our best to show Aunt Cathy and Cousin Megan the sights of our wonderful Nashville including downtown, the Hermitage and the zoo.  I am sure they were tired on their return trip but we packed their trip full of memories.

And the kids were so sad to see them go.  But with the weather continuing to stay nice, I believe this is only the start to another exciting year of activities.
