Monthly Mash-Up

We're a little behind on posting, but I think that's because there's been a little of everything and not much happening recently, all at the same time. No big events to document, but life is certainly continuing on! Sabine is going through a bit of an introverted phase. She's normally very gregarious and independent, so it's been a little hard to adjust just because we are not used to it, but we're definitely not turning down the extra cuddles! (If she would go back to sleeping through the night, though, we would not complain.)

Without further ado, I will mostly let the pictures show what we've been up to.



We went cross-country skiing in March with some good friends. Sabine got the luxury ride. (Luckily our friends took the first shift hauling Sabine, while Mommy and Daddy got their legs under them!)



Sabine and Tatum continue to be close, and Sabine finally can hold still long enough now that Tatum will rest on her. It's very sweet.



Sabine got a new bike helmet, she picked out a Spider-Man one. A neighbor has lent us a big girl bike to practice on, but first we need to procure some training wheels.



A babysitter did some fancy braids in Sabine's hair, and it was the highlight of the week.



We've done more baking--both bread and cookies.



And we made it to the zoo with cousin E! That was a great time.







We've gone swimming



And in between beautiful days, we've gotten three separate snowstorms.




It's been fun, but we are ready for some warmer weather.

At one point Sabine attempted make-up...via markers.



We celebrated Mommy's birthday



And just because it's worth sharing, even though Sabine was stuck at home with a sitter, Mommy and Daddy were invited to the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame banquet by an old co-worker of Daddy's. We briefly met both Peyton Manning and Missy Franklin, who were both inducted that night. Quite an honor!







(Yup, that's Peyton at the table next to us.)

Happy Easter!

A few days late, but we had a great Easter celebration, and hope you did too.

We dyed eggs last week, with much success.




On Saturday we had an egg hunt at a friend's house. The big girls had a blast running all over the yard.







On Sunday the Easter Bunny delivered, and we had another egg hunt inside our house.









Some gel decals that stick on our new glass door were a big hit. They are already falling apart from so much use. But it is fun while it lasts!



Then we had a nice brunch with the whole family.







We attempted another kiddo portrait this year, but they were a little too excited to sit still long enough to snap a photo together. This is as close as we got.



Then we headed up to Longmont to Aunt Diane and Uncle Nat's house, for yet another egg hunt! (First we had to check out all of their fun, vintage toys.)



It was a perfect day for an egg hunt. Right around 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

Uncle Nat even offered wagon rides. Sabine was a little unsure about all of it, but Ethan was game!



There was still plenty to do, besides hunting for eggs, including the swing. Sabine still loves swinging. All in all, a great holiday!
