The Last Day of Spring Break.....
It's always bittersweet for me when I realize everyone is going back to school in a few days.
We are lucky in that we have two full weeks of Spring Break! In years past we have headed down to Hilton Head and spent a week there, but Jason had a Strings Teacher's Conference in Atlanta this year and so we spent a night on the Eastern Shore and explored the Chesapeake Bay. (pictures to follow soon!)
The kids have had a slumber party every night in the playroom and jumped on the trampoline in their coats ( since it has not been a WARM spring break!) and played and relaxed and just had a great time. It definitely got chaotic sometimes (how do homeschooling moms do it?) but overall, we had a great time.
Eleanor and dad went on a date this afternoon to finish out the break. They went to the library and read stories forever and then out to lunch. They brought home several Angelina Ballerina books to read - Eleanor's current favorite!
Savannah has had her maiden voyage with dad and survived - or should I say, Mom survived. I always get so nervous, but Jason insisted and she was just fine!!!! He took her several times this week with him to run errands. She thinks she is the cat's meow heading out with the big kids and dad! It's going to be hard when the entertainers are not at her beck and call next week! She got lots of daddy time and big brother time this week.
I am always so grateful for Jason's willingness to be an involved father. He is wonderful. Every day that he was gone, the kids would say," When dad gets back we need to tell him about this!" of "How many days til daddy is home?" The day he was coming home, Eleanor woke up and squealed, "DAD COMES HOME TODAY!!!!!!" We sure love our dad!
So, on our last "official" day of Spring Break we look forward to getting back into all the good habits we got out of in two weeks and starting the countdown until summer!!!

The cutest kids in the world....

You're the cutest, the sweetest, the cutest little baby...oh, you're the cutest baby in the whole wide world....
Everyone always comments on Savannah's eyes....I wonder why!

On my sixth month birthday, we decided to take some pictures with my brothers and sister...who do you think is the cutest?

Can you tell he and I are related? I love my big brother, Garrett!

Eleanor and I are best of friends! She is a great big sister...she takes good care of me and I love her sooooooo much! Yeah, I think I am the cutest! Xander isn't bad looking either!

I love my children...they are such great kids....even though having four is a lot of work, it is pictures like these that make it all worth while...we are so blessed to have these children in our lives...
