April is over! Eli turns SEVEN in a week! Time is flying by way too quickly for my liking!
But we have so enjoyed some really special times together this spring, and we are looking forward to many more in May!
April at a glance...
Dyeing Easter eggs...
Easter egg hunt at my parents' house...
Sorting through his treasures (with his tongue out, which I love)...
Easter, like most days in Texas this spring, was rainy, so we had to resort to badly-lit photos on the back porch.
Eric snapped this one of Eli after church, though, minus his feet. :)
Soccer! The rain has meant that most practices and games have been cancelled this season, but we've enjoyed the few that we've actually gotten to play!
Eli and Timothy are on the same team.
My grandparents came to visit last week, and we so enjoyed our time with them. What a blessing it was to be able to see BOTH sets of grandparents this last month and get to spend time with all of them. Sadly, and dumbly, I didn't take a picture of my other grandparents while they were here, though.
Our bi-annual family camping trip is always a big hi-light of the spring.
It was warm enough to swim, which the kids all enjoyed. Here they're sitting on the dock listening to my dad tell them stories.
Hiking around the lake with the whole crew. My parents with all five of their grandchildren...
Fishing...
Eli and Cooper walking down to the field to play soccer.
Campfire stories...
All the kids...
My little family, including Hank the dog.
I LOVE this picture! Pure happiness!
And I LOVE these kiddos!
This is such a classic "Eli" expression. I couldn't love this kid any more if I tried.
Traditional family photo on the cabin steps...
And that's April! Love to you all!
