*Playdates*

Spring has sprung around here and so have lots of playdates for us! We have been enjoying being busy and getting to see all of our friends lately.

Last week was Spring Break from Caleb's Mother's Day Out program, so I jumped at the chances to get out of the house and keep us busy.

On Wednesday, we met one of my friends from our sunday school class, Ashley, and her two girls at the Botanical Gardens. Bella is four and Juliet is just a few weeks old. Caleb had lots of fun running around and exploring the gardens with Bella. There is lots to do there including a garden just for kids which includes lots of pretend play, a sand box, water features, and even a butterfly house! After playing for a while we ate lunch at the restaurant there before heading home for a big nap.

And of course, Kailyn snoozed:


Kailyn went on her very first playdate last Thursday at the Cobb's house. Caleb went to spend the night with Grandmama and Grandad, so it was just Kailyn and Mommy this time. Rachel went with a St. Patrick's Day theme and it was so cute. Everyone brought a different color fruit and the kids assembled a rainbow, such a fun activity!! Kailyn has two new friends in our Sunday School group. Henry came a few weeks after Kailyn on February 26 and we think he is so handsome. Juliet was born exactly one month after Kailyn on March 4, which ironically was also her due date. I know these three will be great friends growing up in the church together.



Then this Monday we were invited to the Cobb's house again so that Caleb could play with Jordan and Jayden (age 3). The boys had all played together for a short time at our house a few weeks before when they brought us dinner one afternoon. Caleb has asked about Jordan and Jayden several times since then and I think it went the other way around too with the boys asking about Caleb...so Rachel and I knew we had to get them all together to play soon. We had a blast! It is always nice to get in a little Mommy talk while the kids play! (and I forgot to take pictures...oops!)

On Wednesday, Kacie brought Finlee (age 4) and Rylann (5 months) over to play. Caleb and Finlee played toys for a little while because Kacie and I both had to feed the babies. Once everyone was settled back down, we loaded up and took the kids to Bridgestreet for pizza, a carousel ride, and frozen yogurt. The kids had a wonderful time, I can't wait to do it again soon :)

Kailyn basically slept through the entire playdate!
