Handwork, special dates (for memory sake, Amelia and grandma to tea, Sam and gma to natural history museum to color, Sam and gpa to the new aquarium, Amelia and grandpa to baby animal days, Gma and Gpa with Jubilee to the farm, Gma and Gpa with Sam, Amelia, Aviana, Cole and Alidia to the movies...whew!) , outdoor projects, birthdays, Easter and just living life together...here is a summary of the Hunt grandparent visit in pictures:)

Although it is definitely not ideal to live away from family, these concentrated months that the kids have had with the Hunts over the years (and with my mom during the 18 months she lived with us) have been pretty amazing. This trip I'm specifically thankful that they got to be here for:

Sam and Amelia's 7th birthday!

Ollie starting to walk

Jubilee talking so much more 

Sam starting to read at a new level

Soccer games

Spring blooms and blossoms (though they wreaked havoc on us all with allergies galore!!) 

...that's all I can think of at the moment! Hopefully more soon! Jen

New beginnings.

Mondays. New Years. Spring. Throwing off the old, putting on the new (in Christ). I love them all. I guess mornings would fit in there too, but try as I may, I do not love mornings.

Anyway, I'm sitting outside right now watching the kids on their bikes, listening to the birds, reading a magazine. Ahhhh, Spring. We celebrated today by putting away our winter books and pulling out the spring. Amelia, most of all, loves these days of switching over the seasonal book basket. She spreads them all out, sits in the middle of them and digs in:) Some favorites off the top of my head are:

Little Cottontail

Make way for Ducklings

Butterfly Children

Brambly Hedge: A spring story

Spring by Gerda Muller

The Bee Tree....

And many more!:) 

Happy almost spring to you! Jen
