Holding bugs is good “gentle and kind” practice.

He is so good at helping them.

This cracked me up.

Babies wearing babies.

She looked like a tired mother.

Juggle Bubbles.

I like them because they have to be so careful to not pop them.

It is a great way to teach gentle.

Youngest three did an easter egg hunt.

My kids pretty much ran around like crazy on this little patch of grass while we waited for them to finish running.

Runners!

Hopefully we can do this again but with dad taking like 3 kids with him…

Leaving me with only 2.

I like those odds.

Favorites from March 2015 ~Adoption

Nick went on a business trip in March.

I had the girls help make cupcakes to welcome him home, also it might have helped them do well while he was gone 🙂

Little bit running to Nick at a race with her arms raised just makes me happy.

When he went on a longer trip my MIL came to help.

She and her husband both came actually.

She helped me with the girls and my father in-law took the boys.

He even stayed in our pop up camper with them!

They had such a great time and it made it so much easier!

The previous time he had gone on a long trip had been so hard that I was really not looking forward at all to this time but it went well.

Such a relief.
