Finally Spring!

It is finally Spring here in Ohio! Yes, the weather could be a bit warmer, but Spring is definitely in the air! The grass is turning green, a few flowers have sprouted, and the birds are out once again. Our girls love playing outside once agian! It is almost as if they are finally ready to be rid of their cabin fever! Once they go outside, it is almost impossible to get them back indoors! I think Emma is the worst! She loves running up and down the walkway to our big deck out back. I think she does more running on the walkway than she does actual playing! I took some pictures of Maddelyn this afternoon while the sun was out. Emma was napping so I will have to catch her another day. Maddelyn was so cute in one of her new birthday outfits! She is such a ham for the camera!

Maddelyn's birthday weekend went great! We found out that Maddelyn does have a bit of shyness in her! She actually started crying when everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. Poor thing got embarrassed! She had a wonderful party with the twins! They all got bikes from my parents, so I am sure that Maddelyn will want to be outside even more now! Teaching her to ride it is Nathan's job though! :P Maddelyn has had fun telling everyone that she is now three and that she had a party. When we asked her what her favorite part of the party was, she said "Bubblegum!" A few weeks ago my sister-in-law was over here taking pictures of all the girls. She told them that if they were good she would give them all a piece of gum. Well the night went on, we forgot about the gum, and they ended up leaving. Maddelyn was heart broken over it! She still talks about how Aunt Thelma didn't give her any gum! So, Thelma made a point to put a box of Bazooka gum in Maddelyn's gift bag and she was thriled! So out of all the party events and great gifts from everyone...the bubblegum was the best! She is so cute!
