Bye, bye Sonshine....

Caroline had her last days of preschool at Sonshine Preschool. We had a field trip to the beach, a spring sing show and a field day on the last day of school. Teacher Collette was absolutely wonderful and Caroline truly loved going to preschool. The teacher made a little booklet about each title with a description next to each letter of her name. One of Caroline's words was loves art, which couldn't be any more truthful. She loves to create anything...books, buildings, collages, drawings, race tracks, you name it. We've gone through almost 1000 pieces of construction paper since Christmas! We are sad for her to leave Sonshine as she really enjoyed her time there and made some good friends. We will be excited to going back with Hannah this next year!

Blueberry picking!

When spring comes to an end, the blueberries are in season and we LOVE our blueberries. We went with Erin and Annie to Underwood Farms and picked blueberries. What a change from last year when Andrew was crawling in the dirt and Hannah was running wild! This year, everyone was very into picking the blueberries. Caroline had it down to a science picking the perfect berries, Hannah was loving the idea of finding all the berries and picking them and Andrew, well he just wanted to eat them. I could not pick them fast enough. At the end of the time, I think he ate almost a pound himself! We had a great time there and then later enjoying all of our pickings!

Aunt Katie, Uncle Kevin and baby Jack come to visit!

Aunt Katie, Uncle Kevin and baby Jack came to visit us during Katie's maternity leave. It was wonderful to meet baby Jack when he was so little (just 2 1/2 months)! He is so cute and such a good baby. He had his first visit to the beach, to the pool, the wineries and the Santa Barbara Zoo. I forget how portable a newborn baby is! It was a really great visit and of course, the kids loved the extra attention. Uncle Kevin worked with Caroline and Andrew playing soccer and Hannah loved the attention Katie gave her playing princess. I only wish I was able to help them with Jack the way Katie was able to come out and help me after my kids were born!! But it was great that they came to visit and we had the opportunity to hang out!
