Bunches of Buddies
We have a lot of boys in our neighborhood and it’s awesome (not for Charlotte, though). Chase is such a social, outdoorsy, adventurous boy, so I’m glad he has a few partners in crime to choose from, just steps away from our house! Sometimes it drives me crazy (like yesterday & today, since it’s spring break), because we’ll often have five extra kids (in addition to our own three) playing at our house and it gets a lot messier and crazier, especially when I give them all snacks and such. But I have to let go & remind myself that it’s worth it to be a fun, safe place for the kids to hang out.

Good Times at Home
Charlotte helped fold some towels. She was excited to learn how to fold laundry and to help me out. Sometimes I forget that kids don’t automatically know how to do things like fold laundry. I must teach them while they’re young, so they can be my good little slaves…. I mean, helpers.
Love those bright baby blues!
Caroline was upset at me for washing her blankie, so I had to photograph the sweet reunion they had after the difficult time of separation.
We had 2nd cousins Jessica & Katelin sleep over a couple weeks ago. They are such fun & energetic girls, yet also very obedient and well-behaved. It was fun to have them over even though Chase and Katelin kept each other up till 10pm, just chatting away. My kids were so excited because right before the girls came over to spend the night, we went and picked out some gummy candy at the store to share with our guests.
I love this succession of photos that Pace took of Chase pushing Caroline around (and how she’s oblivious to how much strain this activity is putting on Chase):

Park Day with SuperDad
Pace took Chase, Charlotte, & two of their friends to play at a park a couple Saturdays ago. Pace is such a great dad who does fun things with his kids, for which we’re all grateful!
Here’s Chase with his good friend, Jeffrey. They’re pretty cool guys.
This is Charlotte’s good friend Mollie, who looks a lot like Charlotte.
A quaint little tea party atop the playground—how delightful!

Lazy Saturday Morning
It was in the last few minutes before church, when we were (and always are) scurrying around, when Chase decided to put on an Old Man cap of Pace’s to complete his church outfit. We started cracking up! It was perfect. Pace took Chase outside to take a few pictures. I wish he had some suspenders, too!
Pace was putting away the camera, when Charlotte asked quietly, “Will you please take a pic-shuh of me too, Daddy?” She enjoys having her picture taken lately, and I guess she was feeling a little left out. Funny kids!
Chase quizzing Caroline about what she can say
Just wanted to share these awesome moments. They grow up so fast!

Good Ol’ Howarth Park
This is a public park somewhat close to my parents’ house, which we must visit every time we’re in town!! It’s extra special because it’s a park I used to play at when I was little (although it wasn’t quite as fancy back then as it is now).
“Swing us around, Daddy!!”
Alright, you asked for it…
Bulging Man Muscles (All natural)
“Again! Again!!!”
(Such a fun guy. Tires me out just to look at these photos.)
I wanted to document these photos because this type of thing NEVER happens in real life!!! I wish it did. These two actually fight all the time, seriously.
Anyway, I think Pace was having the kids do some sort of movie poses on a green screen mat type of thing at Grandpa & Grandma’s, and he must have tricked them into hugging each other for the “movie.” Whatever it was, I’m just thankful for the loving (<rare) photos!
