April 2014

We are pretty far behind on this blog. Since I've recently passed a big work-related deadline, I'm hoping to have a little more time in the near future to play catch-up. Here are some pictures that show you the highlights of what we were up to back in April.

Justin started playing t-ball in April. Here he is in uniform at the opening night team parade:

 And Sam, the little wanna-be t-ball player:

Justin at bat, the next day, in his first game:

Sam at an Easter egg hunt that was part of a spring festival at our local middle school:

The boys going down a big slide at the same event:

Now that Justin is starting to read, it's really nice to see him reading to Sam:

Also in April we did a little trip up to the DC area with the primary aim of getting the boys to the dinosaur exhibit at the Smithsonian natural history museum before it closed for a 5-year renovation. We stayed at Patty and Audrey's and they came along on our trip downtown. The boys' first time on the Metro:

Sam was there, too, which was hard to see in the previous picture:

On the mall:

The first thing we saw at the museum was the tarantula feeding:
 

Justin was particularly impressed with the REAL mummy:

Some shots in the dinosaur hall:

Ape-parently we made a new friend while we were there, too:

While at Patty's we also dyed Easter Eggs. The boys went shirtless because I hadn't brought any shirts I wanted to risk getting dye on.

That's it for April. I'll try to be back soon with some pictures from May.
