April Showers Bring May Snow?!

Well, things have been busy, but fun around here. I wish I had a little more time to attend to this blog, but I guess time is just a precious commodity and will be for a while. We are currently in the mountains at Lake Almanor visiting Nana. Unfortunately, Erik is stuck back at home working 13 hour night shifts, six days on, one day off. He will be doing that for the next four weeks! Tyler and the babies are having a lot fun with Nana and “Auntie Carol” (our good family friend who was my “Auntie Carol” growing up). Our good friend Lynn also visited two nights ago and it was great having three “Grandma’s” here. I got almost a two hour nap the other day while the Grandma’s tended to the little ones! The babies have been experiencing many “firsts” the last few days. First trip to Almanor. First long car ride (they did great!). First bath in a sink (out of their baby bath). First swing. First slide. First snow. Yes, snow! There wasn’t a lot, but just enough for Tyler to have a little fun in it before it melted. We’ve been inside a lot because of rain, snow, and cold temps., but Tyler has been finding fun stuff around the house to keep him busy (he placed pegs into every hole of the game “battleship” on both sides….I didn’t realize he had that kind of patience!). We did make it to the park yesterday during a dry spell and we ALL got to play . That’s it for now. More on our Almanor adventure soon!
