Easter!

I'm sure Lent seemed to drag on for the boys, but for us it flew by! Easter was much anticipated and we had a lovely day celebrating with family.

 The still-sleepy boys were excited about their baskets, as usual.

 All dressed and ready for Mass!

 We love Easter Mass at Blessed Sacrament. :)

 On the steps of the church, before heading to Aunt Tina and Uncle Randy's house for brunch.

Awhile ago, I found these awesome hats at Target for a dollar each. Easter seemed like the perfect time to wear them.

 Juice! This party is going to be off the hook!

 The hats are just too cute.

 Muffin time!

 After brunch the boys played croquet and soccer outside.

 And, can I just say how grown up this kid is looking? I mean, aside from the nice Easter clothes, he is just turning into a little man. :)

Happy Easter, everyone!

Time is flying

People say that time goes faster and faster with each kid. We believe it--Aaron turned 5 months yesterday! He is a busy boy, rolling/tumbling all over the place (which means more floor cleaning for us), laughing a lot (especially at his brothers), and finally starting to settle into a somewhat regular routine (although now that we've acknowledged it, it will probably stop). Here are some pictures from his fifth month:

 Aaron has constant entertainment in his big brothers.

 Loving the exersaucer.

 Getting to spend some time outside.

 Finally getting some sunny weather means breaking out the baseball cap!

 Never without drool these days.

 Humoring Mom with the obligatory husky photo.

 Can't resist the feet!

 Physical fitness is important. Aaron does his push-ups daily.

Tired, but still smiling.

Still cute. :)

Homemade Hats

My knitting skills are not very advanced, but after learning how to follow a simple hat pattern I bought a couple skeins of yarn to make semi-matching hats for the boys. Of course, I finished the hats just as it's starting to get warm here...

Showing you their toothy smiles.

 Taking a break from photos to give Aaron a kiss. :)

 Matthew's hat was first. His is pretty basic.

Aaron's hat came next. Also basic, but I had to learn how to make some ears.

 Daniel's took the longest. Mostly because I made one that was much too big and had to start over.

Love these boys!
