Spring Has Sprung!

We hope that you are enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having. I know our family has. We have been going to the farm, baseball games, and playing outside.

Jackson has been waiting very patiently for the animals to "wake up" from the winter so we could finally go and visit the farm. He loved all the animals and was trying very hard to teach Aubrin all the animals sounds.
On Saturday Jackson got a very special delivery from Grandma and Grandpa Olenech. They bought him a Gator. Jackson was thrilled when he saw it and has been driving all around since he got it. He was especially helpful to Todd this weekend when we were doing yard work.
Aubrin is doing well. We went for a visit to the doctors and she is 19 pounds and 31 inches. Big Girl!!! She continues to try new foods and babble all day long. We love watching all of the new things she does each day. It's hard to believe that she will be one years old before we know it.
Enjoy this beautiful weather and find a few minutes to relax.

Happy Easter

We hope you had a wonderful Easter. The past couple of days we have been getting ready for Easter. We have dyed eggs, made cookies and celebrated Easter twice. Grandma and Grandpa Olenech went to Chicago for Easter so we celebrated Easter with them on Tuesday. The night before Easter we went to Church. As the whole church was quiet and we were all holding lit candles Jackson started singing Happy Birthday. He thought everyone was holding candles, it must be someones birthday. To say the least, the people around us thought is was pretty funny. On Easter morning Jackson and Aubrin were very excited to come downstairs to see that the Easter "Hippo" brought presents and hid eggs. Jackson thought for sure it was a hippo coming to the house instead of a bunny. We then went to Grandma and Papa Millers for dinner. It has been a busy couple of days, but so much fun.
Happy Spring!

Opening Day

Today was a beautiful day for Tiger baseball. We got up early with everyone in their Tiger gear, headed to Grandma and Papa's and then downtown for some early festivities before the game. We hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful (chilly) spring day.

Babies Have Arrived

I hope this finds everyone well. On Friday March 27th our family welcomed our new niece and nephew into the world. Emerson Maria was born at 10:50am weighing 6lbs 4oz and William David was born at 10:51am weighing 6lbs 2oz, both babies were 19 inches long. Erin, Jayson and the babies are all settling in well. I went for a visit this past weekend. Both babies took my breath away with how beautiful they are. Jackson and Aubrin had a fun weekend with daddy while I was away.
Our house has been busy the past couple of weeks now that baseball season has started. Jackson loves going to the field to play with all of the "big boys". I take him up for the last 10 minutes of practice a couple times a week. Jackson is doing a great job with his potty training- I think we are almost there. I went to preschool orientation last week to find out all of the fun things Jackson will be doing next fall when he goes to school. Jackson is very excited to go to school, but a bit let down that he won't be riding the school bus. Jackson has also been having play dates with his cousin Annie during the week. Wednesdays are his favorite day when he knows she's coming over.
Aubrin is doing great. When I took her for her 9 month check up she weighed 18 pounds and is 28 inches long. She babbles a mile a minute and continues to crack up at anything big brother does. Her new word is hello. We've been trying out all different foods. She likes just about anything she can feed herself.
Stay warm on this snowing April day and also GO GREEN as we watch the Spartans tonight!
