On the road again

The four of us have spent a lot of time in the car over the course of the last three weeks, visiting eight states and logging more than 2,000 miles so far!

Sliding rock

Alan flying wildly over the sliding rock at Pisgah National Forest in Brevard, NC. Mason and Haley K take their turn sliding too! From playing "farkle" to running in the morning with Uncle Al (who Jaden began calling "Uncle Owl"!) to our day trip to Pisgah we had a great time hanging out with our nieces and nephews in NC.

Family Time in DC

After Alan completed his ordination exams in March, we headed for DC for family time and a few days away. We caravanned with my folks and spent time with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew. Highlights included watching Jaden and baby Tyler play and laugh together, enjoying mealtimes together and riding the train to downtown DC to see the cherry blossoms at their peak.

Visit from G's B

Jaden with Grandma and Grandpa B. Since first wearing his tie, Jaden has really learned to like it! He asks to wear it with t-shirts. (Once I let him wear it to the grocery store that way since it was cool and he was also wearing a jacket.) Today he wanted to wear it with his basketball jersey...that's where we draw the line.
