Walking, planting, letterboxing...

We wanted to thank everyone who sponsored us in the CROP walk, which was this past Sunday. We walked the whole way--Theodore was surprisingly content in the stroller (with a 45 min nap in the middle, which helped!), and Simon was...well, less content. Our pace varied quite a bit depending on Simon's mood--he wanted to walk, but was slow and got bored/tired pretty quickly. So he rotated between walking, riding in the stroller, and riding on Daddy's shoulders. All in all it went very well, and we were proud to have raised $330.25 to fight hunger--so thank you everyone!

We have been trying to get outside to enjoy the nice weather (while it lasts), especially on those rare occasions when all four of is are able to spend some time together. The past few weekends we've been able to get outside as a family--finding our first two letterboxes (thanks to Jen, Nathan, Ellie, and Ben for getting us started!), and just today planting some trees in the neighborhood. Well, Andy and Simon helped plant trees, while Jess & Theodore played at a nearby playground. They got these spectacular tie-dye shirts, which Simon was VERY excited about, as green is his favorite color.

Here's hoping all of you are finding ways to get outside and enjoy the weather too!
