Working Out

Spring has finally arrived and we are outside and loving it! This morning on our way back home from our dog walk/bike ride/jog Tiana stopped for a little rest. She drank some water, took off her helmet, and started to stretch: "I'm just doing some stretches. That's what good bikers do. I have to stretch my bones so I can rock n' roll down those hills and ride my bike really fast!"
And then, near the end of our jaunt, this comment: "Mom, that was a good workout. I'm really sweatin'!!"
Oh, thank goodness for warm, sunshiny days and fun family workouts!

Family pics

These adorable children may have had a hard time smiling at just the right moment for a family picture(especially the boys), but we'll keep them anyway. What an exhausting experience a photo shoot can be!

Tiana, ever-the-photogenic-one, was a great sport despite the chilly weather and her fussy brothers. I always tell her the prettiest thing about her is her smile....

Luke LOVES to be tossed in the air. The more air he can catch, the better!

Jake LOVES to snuggle and cuddle and bury his face in your neck. Aw!

Maybe we'll attempt family pictures again in a few more months. Or maybe we won't feel up to it for a few more years. For now, we'll take what we can get!
