Easter

 Easter started with a trip to see the Easter bunny - which ended with Stella crying anytime the bunny came close to her, and Hudson refusing to look at the camera. So, This is our photo with the Easter bunny this year. Good times. The petting zoo was a big hit though!!

 Easter Sunday was a very fun day for these two - two Easter egg hunts, lots of candy, and fun with family in the POOL. Hudson has now started swimming on his own, and i think i literally see gills growing on his sides. He loves the water SO much. Kauai will be a blast for both of them this year!
 As time goes on, these two spend more time playing nicely and enjoying each others company. Hudson is growing into such a sweet, positive, happy boy - the toddler in him is slipping away too quickly. But Stel is stepping boldly into her TWOs, so that's a bit of adventure to balance out Hudson's continued maturity. Always a new stage, as they say. But lots of fun, and I'm really enjoying my 'talks' with both of them more and more. We spend great time together just talking these days, and it's so cool. What great people I get to live with.

home life

A couple weekends ago we took Hudson out to try his bike without training wheels for the first time. He is just over 4 1/2, and has been riding it with training wheels since August, using his balance bike before that. Within five minutes on the big boy bike without the training wheels, he was taking off! Like a champ he rode up and down the street confidently, having a ball. 






Best part of our evenings these days - a few minutes running and playing in the backyard before we come in for book time and bed.
