Spring is FINALLY here

Well, it's been a rough winter at the Porter household. Ian and Sophie have been sick a ton since starting daycare. I didn't expect it to be so bad since there only there a few hours 2 days weekly. I guess they're still exposed to all the same bugs. I'm just glad that spring is here and hopefully they'll be sick less often and I sure hope the doctors are right when they say they'll be sick less often when they start school.

Above is a picture of them in their new sandbox that John built himself. He did a great job with it and the kids (& all of their friends) love it. Another fun thing to report is the aquarium that Grandma and Grandpa Ervin gave us. The kids are having fun taking care of the fish. If we could just get them to stop fighting over who is going to feed them first then I would enjoy them more.

Anyway, we've been busy to say the least these days. We are really looking forward to our upcoming vacation to Destin, Fla. Sophie and her dad have been counting down the days. I'll be sure to blog after our trip from May 10-17th.
