Our nephew Christian was born on March 15, so Brendan, Matthew and I went to Milwaukee to visit and help out for a little while. Luke and Nicklas are hanging out with Daddy back in Boone. We'll all be going home on Saturday. I've been enjoying my time back here with family, but I miss Michael, my middle boys, and my own home.
Matthew has learned to pull himself up on furniture while we've been here. He thinks it's very exciting but it has increased the number of bumps and bruises he has! He also enjoys trying to sneak up on Oma and Papa's pomeranian, Kit.
Brendan has been being a good helper as always. He's almost done with his reading book and his kindergarten math book. We've begun reading Paddington Bear together, which he loves. He's also gotten to hold Christian a few times!
After we get home, we'll be building a chicken coop pretty soon and once we get back from Christian's baptism in mid-April, we'll buy some chicks! Brendan's very excited about the idea of helping take care of the chickens.
