A cold little Easter Egg Hunter !

Nine years ago today, we became parents for the very first time :)
Yes, we had the call that would change our lives forever and 7 days later we found ourselves at the hospital with a beautiful baby boy in our arms.
What a wonderful gift from his Birth Mom!
We send her good thoughts today and hope she is doing well .....
Here are some pics of the last day or so ....
Ben's choice was to go the climbing wall ....
As you can see we did just that with 10 of his pals ....
Bunch of monkeys!
They all did very very well! ( Miss Aly included).

Just a few more winter activities before we bid old man winter goodbye!

This weekend we went tubing with some terrific friends. The weather was fantastic, the sun bright and tubing hill sleek. For three hours the kids raced up and down the hill ( parents in tow).

Fun times ...

Even better memories :)

Thank goodness for Daddy

Love this smile !

Boys turn !

Miss Aly's maiden voyage

Action shot !

These pics were taken a few weeks ago after our last big snow storm!

This snowman was a family affair ( even Miss Aly tried out her big muscles in rolling the snow).

Here she is with Daddy :)
