Well, this blogging thing needs to become a habit, whether I have something in particular to say or not! After 10 days of sickness, the boys were finally well enough for a trip to West Chester. Since they had Friday and Monday off from school, we made the trip to my parents' house. It was a great visit. The boys had some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa, and they had play time with their cousins, Nicholas and Lauren. It is so fun to see the kids play together. They play nonstop. 
Josiah and Grandpa played basketball for hours. John helped Grandma fix her bird feeder that had been destroyed by the squirrels. They also made homemade suet to put out for the birds. Ingredients are: lard, peanut butter, raisins, sunflower seeds, flour, cornmeal and birdseed. John thinks that Grandma should sell this. It is fun to stand at Grandma's window with her binoculars and watch the different birds that come to their feeders. The weather was so nice--40's, but with a spring-like feel in the air. The kids even left their coats behind and ran around without them.
OK, so this picture is 3 years old, but too cute to pass up. John and Nicholas are both 10 now. Josiah is 7 and Lauren will be 7 in 2 more months. Sometimes Lauren feels left out being the only girl, but she keeps up for the most part. She adores her big cousin John. Lauren loves fashion and likes to spend time on girlsgogames.com. She likes to put different outfits together. I decided that I am going to start going to that site so I can figure out what matches and what to put together to wear each day! Nicholas loves animals and animal facts and he spends lots of time creating and designing a zoo with the computer game "Zoo Tycoon 2". He has the other computer games that go along with it so he has a huge selection of animals to add to his zoo. It is quite the cool game, and very educational too. I am thinking it will make a nice birthday gift for our guys this year.
