We moved to the beach house the first weekend in March. We were overwhelmed with gratitude by all of the help we received from family and friends.
After the move we spent several weeks unpacking boxes while trying to keep up with the boys' school work. Even though the weather was cold and windy the children loved to play on the beach for hours at a time.
The first few days in our new home there were rainbows every day and seals splashing in the water. It was like the view was showing off. :)
The boys stayed outside for almost 6 hours one day during our first week at the beach.
Poor Nevie loves the outdoors and wished she could play with her older brothers and sister.
Rain or shine, the view is breathtaking.
The first time I told the boys to get ready to go outside Brigham came back dressed in swim trunks. It was 45 degrees outside! He's a funny child.
Neva likes to sit inside drawers, baskets and anything she can climb into.
Trying to keep up with home school... ugh.
Brig is very nurturing. One day Esmé was sick and he followed her around like a nurse. I captured the moment since these two aren't always so kind to one another.
Drinking hot chocolate outside. I told them to smile and they all pretended to vomit. Lol. These kids make life fun. :)
Our used couches I scored on craigslist. I love them.
Uncle Casey & Auntie Kelsey baking cookies in our kitchen late one night. We love them.
Our friend, Mike, tried to fix Esmé's "self cut" but it just needs to grow.
Allen was almost too tall to go into the kid zone on our trip to IKEA.
Auntie Wendy showing off some health food. :)
Grandma Bonnie & Grandpa Roger have an interactive gaming system for the kids at their home. It gets their wiggles out.
Brig has never seen or heard of "duck lips" but we always tease Auntie for posting selfies while making this face. Haha. :)
This is the bike trail near our home.
Neva loves her babies. She almost always has one in her arms.
Sometimes big sister tries to treat her like a baby-doll.
Riding the kayak with Grandpa.
Neva is ridiculously good at working electronic devices.
Esmé did her own hair one morning. :)
I had lunch one day with Wendy at a yummy Vietnamese restaurant. Can you believe that food is vegetarian? Yum!
Cheering on Daddy at a church basketball game.
Bradley moved his office to a new practice group where they don't wear scrubs. We had to go shopping for "office attire." He is a rare size, being so skinny and tall. After several hours of looking for pants the ONLY pair we found in his actual size was this orange pair. They weren't too bad but we ended up not getting them.
March was a relatively boring month. By contrast, April was quite busy and chaotic...
