 I was looking for Stella & saw her in our bed with the remote in her hand...

 my sweet babies playing together :)

 christophe moved the bench closer to the kids' play area - he's been tackling a project every weekend ...pretty amazing !

 we celebrated a productive weekend and took the kids out to dinner.  It was Stella's first time out to dinner and she did great !

 Stella loves little gym ! I got her a leotard for her gym classes !

we visited a local farm and picked up fresh strawberries together

they were delicious !

 Stella & Adrien both enjoyed the experience !

 we rode the FW mini train together last sunday morning.  It was so relaxing.  Stella had not been since last fall & she was super excited and happy !  We all enjoyed it a lot & Christophe took a few pics:)

 my little guy LOVES popcorn !

Stella had that huge smile 

Happy Easter

 Adrien and Stella were invited to Garrett & Gus 's easter egg hunt party last Friday.  It was so much fun for them !  We had a wonderful time !

 It was Stella 's first egg hunt, she likes putting the eggs in the basket but then she realized there was chocolate in them so she stopped, and unwrapped the paper to eat the chocolate. ..and that was the end of the egg hunt :) She had 4 eggs in her basket :) I could not keep up with Adrien, he was running everywhere and filling up his bucket.  He had a blast.

 I started cleaning the patio, and Adrien wanted to help and took over.

 Stella discovered the lounge chair last week, and she loves laying on it & watching her big brother hard at work :)

 Christophe tackled another project and the kids were eager to help.

 Stella played for a good hour in the muddy sandbox, Duff enjoyed a nap nearby.

 Adrien was excited for the Easter Bunny , he was ready for the real egg hunt.

 still trying to figure it all out :)

 I took this pic

Christophe took this one ... :)  He 's definitely the pro !

a beautiful day to celebrate spring & Easter :)
