we have finally been able to enjoy a few hours outside over the last couple of weeks….and the sun has actually made an appearance or two! it’s been heavenly, and much needed, to say the least.
dylan had spring break last week and the forecast was for an entire week of downpours. all of us moms weren’t sure how we were going to survive it. especially since makena was with us 4 of those days, so that meant we couldn’t get out and do much. suffice it to say, much too much xbox was played by dylan and his friends while makena was napping.
we had a very quiet easter. my parents were down in cali visiting my brother and his family, and we had just seen everyone the week before for my birthday party anyway. plus, we’ll be getting together again in 2 weeks for dylan’s bday…..it’s always that way this time of year! so we went out for nice lunch and enjoyed the sunshine. it did feel weird not to have ham though!
last year we didn’t even color eggs, and I missed it. dylan was excited about it this year and we went old-school with basic, vibrant colors. so pretty and so fun!
he’s still not too old for relaxing with dog-dog on the couch (he comes down with him every morning)
and something we haven’t done since kindergarten / t-ball…..
it’s big time now….he’s doing pretty well considering his teammates have all been playing for a few years. sean is THRILLED he is playing again…..so many happy boyhood memories for him associated with playing ball.
I’m sure these won’t be the last pictures you’ll see. and in a few more days and my little man turns 9….where has the time gone?
Great photographs. 9 is such a lovely age, I seem to have had some really amazing and deep conversations with my eldest son lately, he is so much fun to be with.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Lara....the baseball ones are so cool....a real American boy (to us anyway!) :) XX
ReplyDeleteYou look tremendous! I think I am at the point of being too old to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteWe always don't get what we wish for BUT we make do with what we have. Dylan is such a lucky kid to have great parents who strive every day to make him the best person he can be. Just think of the joy you have brought to him and what he has brought to you!
All of you are so far away but we are always thinking of each other.
Remember...if you get to make a difference in one child's life it is the ultimate goal you could ever achieve.
Maybe he will grow up to be an architect. Sean at one point wanted to be one.
Love to all! Trudy
