Spring 2015 Wrap-Up

It's officially June, and I'm bound and determined to get this blog updated a bit before we head into another Season and I have even more pictures and things I want to document!
 
We're moving soon, and I'm thinking we'll start a new blog that time, and then I'll begin the process of getting what I want from this blog printed into a book. It's a sometimes daunting project to think about, but really, I know it will be so fun to go back and look at pictures and read stories about my life from years ago.
I know I'll love it =).
 
So, here is a long, picture heavy, recap of our Spring =)
 
 
Grammie and Bopbop got us tons of new art supplies for the twins' birthday, and we've been having a great time experimenting with them!

 
Dave and I got a date day in a one point. Like, a whole DAY. We hired our teenage niece to babysit for like 7 hours, and we went to lunch, ran a few errands, and saw a movie. It was really fun!



Dave teaching Abs how to make Deviled Eggs. (Abbey prefers her jammies to be mis-matched whenever possible. True story.)


We spent a lot of time working on our ninja moves...

 
 
On May 1st, David and I celebrated 11 years of marriage! He got me these beautiful flowers...gerber daisies, just like in our wedding =).
I took the kids to Papa and Gaga's for the night on Friday, and Dave and I went out for dinner and had a nice night to ourselves. (It's SO WEIRD to be in our house without our kids!!) Crazy to think we're working on our second decade of marriage...it's strange how at times it can feel like it was just a year or two ago that we got married, yet, at the same time, I really don't remember life without David very well! I'm so thankful we got to celebrate another anniversary.
 


One of my favorite spots to go when the weather is good is this local park. They have a play structure, swings, a hiking path, and a little pond with ducks. Idyllic. 



We've spent a lot of time at home as well, just hanging around...
 





Outside fun with our new bubble machine and a sprinkler...



 
Abbey happy to still be up when Daddy got home from a late work event...
 

 
We had *first* over here recently...the kids went on separate play dates. Abbey went to a preschool friend's house, and Luke had a preschool buddy over here to play.
Our kids are apart a decent amount (for twins, that is,) but had yet to have had a playdate without the other being there as well.
Abbey's friend invited her over, and Abbey said she was ready, and that she would be fine.
We're growing up.
(Her, because she was ready for this independence, and Me, because I let her =) )
 
Luke and I took his friend home, and then picked up Abbey. They were happy to see each other and caught each other up on how their respective play dates went. And that was that.
Milestone. 



We went bowling with some of our besties...
 


More hanging around...



And back to our favorite park...


The kids all broke out into a spontaneous Conga Line...

 
 
We got to doggy sit for our favorite pug...
 


 Zoo day with some of our favorites!
 



 
Abbey lining up all her lovies for a photo...



Luke assisting with pancake making...

 
 The kids had their Spring Program at Preschool recently. So precious. It's all of ten minutes, and the kids just sing songs with hand motions. But I seriously love all ten minutes of it.
They are just so darn cute.
 
 
Love my people...
