Grand Blue Mile
Andrew ran in his first official race today. He did a great job and had a good time. He is ready for more!
Easter 2011
We had a fun Easter. The kids had a good time hunting for the Easter baskets and their Easter eggs. They did great in church and then we had a nice time at Gary and Kathie’s for Easter Dinner. By the end of the day it was sunny and 60, so we broke out our Hula Hoops.

Our Bike Caravan
Spring Preview
I took the day off today so I could go to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and hang out with the family all day. Luckily, the weather cooperated. After we woke up and filled out our brackets for the Liesland Bracket Challenge, we headed on a family bike ride to La Mie for some pastries. We got to use our new setup, with Andrew riding his own bike and Mari and Elliot on tag-alongs.
After that Michelle and the girls came over and we headed down to the parade. The parade was fun and the kids had a good time. After the parade we ate lunch in the Sculpture Garden before heading home.
Once home we played in the back yard and then had some down time before biking to the park for dinner. We ate dinner at Greenwood Park, did a lap around the lake, and then rode back home to play in the back yard some more.
Playing in the Sprinkler
It only got up to 57 yesterday, but the kids decided to get the sprinkler out.

Elliot’s 4th Birthday
Elliot turned 4 yesterday. We had a nice day with church in the morning, hanging out and playing outside, and then the Reagens came over for dinner. Elliot chose an all-vanilla ice cream cake this year, with a few pieces of candy on top.

Our 2010 Photo Album is now complete.
Sledding
We got out sledding today for the first time this year. The kids had a great time and they all did really well. Andrew worked on his snowboarding and Mari and Elliot rode sleds. They all got going pretty fast at times and there was not a lot of crying, which was nice. They also all did a great job walking back up the hill and remembering to bring their sleds.
