Spring! Beautiful Spring! We are very happy to be able to get outside again, to the parks, and not have to wear six layers of clothes! We have had a busy February and March so far.....Braeden turned 4 and celebrated at his daycare and the Iowa Children's Museum; Sage and Mike achieved their yellow high belt in Taekwondo; we celebrated Muzzie's 91st birthday and Valentine's Day; and most recently we traveled to Cincinnati and the Louisville area. We went to visit Uncle Bryan who took us to the Great Wolf Lodge, where we enjoyed the awesome waterpark and Magiquest; we had lunch with Scott and Brayden; and then to visit the Derloshon's, which is always a great time! We had nice weather and we all traveled well. Enjoy all the pictures!
