April

Here is a glimpse at the month of April for the Kellys this year.  

We met some friends at an Easter egg hunt one mild Saturday morning before Easter.  The Easter Bunny made an appearance, too!  We planned to meet another family, and ended up seeing three additional families we knew.  I guess it was a pretty popular hunt.

When we got home (and by home I mean back to my parents' house where we were living at the time), we colored our own Easter eggs.

While Patrick and Charlie napped, my friend Jenni and I took Jack to another Easter egg hunt.  I didn't bring my camera, though.  Jack rode his bike (which he is a pro at now).  On Easter morning, the kids found the eggs that the Easter Bunny left, along with some other goodies.  The boys were wearing their Christmas pjs.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for brunch, and found more eggs!

Patrick was excited to toss the football with his cousins.

In the afternoon, we celebrated Easter at my Aunt Barbara's house.  We played badminton and other yard games.  We were excited for the nice weather!

One nice thing about staying at my parents' house is that they were always willing to help with the kids.  Frequently Nana would read bedtime stories.

My friend Shanna and I took our 4 kids to a Cardinals game one afternoon.  She drove with her daughter, and I took my 3 boys downtown on the MetroLink.  We had a lot of fun and the kids were very well-behaved!

Jack's good buddy Andrew turned 5 and had a fun birthday party.  Our friend Joe was the magician and the kids loved his show!

Joe made a balloon giraffe for Jack.

Jack started tee ball with his new school.  It was a nice chance for us to meet some of the kids who will be in his class this fall, as well as their parents.

 

Next up, an update from the month of May.
