Easter Joy

By
This past week we celebrated the Holy Triduum and Easter Sunday. It was a moving experience to observe Leah making sense of the stories we heard and read through her two year old eyes. On Good Friday she exclaimed, "Can we get Jesus down from the cross? So him don't get lots of boo-boos?" On Holy Saturday she said, "Daddy, him in the rock, and Jesus gotta get OUT of the rock!" And on Easter Sunday she sang the Alleluias loud and clear at Mass.

Leah got to wear her new pink dress, which she has been gushing about for several weeks now. (The girl LOVES dresses these days. The first thing she says in the morning is "I wanna wear a dress.") We also had a little Easter Egg hunt in our yard, and Leah was hysterical to watch. Once she realized the eggs had chocolate in them she ruthlessly snatched eggs from Ryan's grasp. With every one she found she would yell in her sing-song voice, "I foooouuuunnnd one!" We treasure the fact that she is so excited plastic shells that contain two M&Ms each. (I mean how much sugar does that little body really need?)

Sam's Blog Debut

By
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it!  The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family.  The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks.  We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog!  Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun.  The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days.  We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...

A Few End of Summer Activities

By
Just some recent pictures of the kids and their adventures...Leah is back to school (1st grade) and started pre-team at gymnastics. She mastered her two-wheeler and has been enjoying bike rides since! Wyatt started tumbling and we have at-home learning time when Asher takes his naps, which helps when he feels bummed that Leah gets to go off to school without him! Asher is 18 months now and a bundle of energy and fun. He, I'm sure, is glad Wyatt has another year before preschool! We think he is going to (mostly) like having a new brother around in a few months because he loves babies!
