Simon meets Will Sandifer

We were so excited to spend a few hours with Will and his parents, Jay and Em!  Jay and Dave have been friends since IU and Tahoe. Jay was our wedding photagrapher and our boys are only 3 months apart! They were visiting from Maine! We had a fun time playing and eating lunch at the Children's Musuem!

Hi 5!

Easter Egg Huntin' 2012

Last year, Simon was too little to enjoy the excitement of an Easter egg hunt!  Not this year, though!  It was a foggy and chilly morning, but our neighborhood hosted a fun morning for the kids!  We busted out his new Elmo Easter basket and had a blast!  Simon loved finding the eggs, both on the ground and in other kids' baskets :)

Our 1st hunt of the season, in our neighborhood- Trolley Park

 Our Gymboree friends invited us to another fun hunt!  Eggs were filled with goldfish, animal crackers, and stickers!

Loving his Elmo basket, and trying to get a head starte!

"Amen"

Simon said "Amen", after we said grace tonight at dinner :) So sweet!

Gymboree Fun

We are so lucky to have found the Gymboree here in Cincinnati! Simon and I have both made some great friends, who we get together with fairly often!  It's nice to see the same faces at our Gym classes, but even better to make real friendships with people from there, and to spend time outside of Gymboree with them too!

Loves the slide

Traffic jam!

Rainy Museum Sunday

What is better to do on a rainy Sunday in Cincinnati, than to head to the Children's Museum?! We actually started the day at the special "Pompei" exhibit, which was very interesting. Then we finished up with a visit to the kids exhibits!

Petting his first snake! He was so careful and gentle.

Spiderman!

Playing with the water!  He actually managed to stay pretty dry!

Tunnel in the fish tank! Getting up close and personal!

Sammy Snuggles

Simon loves his dog, Sammy! He knows and says her name now, too!

Best Buds

Simon and his buddy, Mason

They don't exactly understand it yet, but these two little guys are the best of buds! 

They sure are shaping up to be partners in crime!
