Spring Break Fun!

What a week!  What a blessing!
The girls are all tucked in their beds.
Dreaming of the fun they had, as they prepare to head back to school tomorrow.

We had such a great spring break!
No traveling for us this year.  Just stay at home fun.
And fun was definitely had!

We kicked the weekend off with a show at the Civic Center.
Avery enjoyed her first live performance, Madagascar.
The big girls enjoyed it as well and especially enjoyed
their little souvenirs!

We were very blessed with incredibly beautiful weather.
Sunny, warm, beautiful.
We spent many hours each day enjoy that forgotten backyard.

And of course, with nice weather comes the tree climbing!

We also found some fun ways to enjoy the indoors too!
Like getting together with our friends to watch Megamind
at the Clive library. The girls had a ton of fun eating popcorn
and watching the movie.
Avery wasn't sure what to think of a movie at the library,
but she quickly got over it and loved the movie!

Between all of special outings, Zoo trip with Dad, movies at the
library and the theater, we found time to just chill out and
play around too!

These last few months Dave and I have been very deliberate with
our time.  We have been very conscience of our priorities in life
and living them to the fullest.

We are all too aware of how short life can be.
We don't want to miss it!  We don't want to let another spring break
or even a boring old Tuesday, go by without breathing in the moment.
Watching the girls play.  Listening to Avery laugh.  Catching Ella
and Claire reading together and giggling. 

Thank you God for the gift of life, family and friends.
Please help us to continue to savor the moments you give us
and help us to be grateful for it each and every one.
