Orchestra Hall

On Sunday, we had the opportunity to take Matthew and Madeleine to a family concert at Orchestra Hall :) Grandpa and Grandma Baack joined us at the concert and for dinner afterwards at Panera! They were definately the highlight of our trip downtown!

Playing outside...it's almost 50 degrees!

It's almost 50 degrees in Minnetonka and we're loving it! The snow is melting and the kids are actually asking to play outside now...yay...springtime is on the way! As you can see, Madeleine loves to run and run some more and Matthew loves to ride his "bike" which we need to upgrade soon ;) We're so thankful for days like today when we can be outside!

Our Trip to Northwest Arkansas

This past weekend, we took a very short weekend trip back to Northwest Arkansas to catch up with friends! We stayed at the best bed and breakfast ever...thanks Rings family! We literally talked...ate...rested...and talked some more the whole weekend! Thanks everyone for such a great, encouraging weekend! We love you and miss you much! Next time, we'll bring Matthew and Madeleine...

Matthew's T-ball Practice

Matthew's played indoor t-ball during the month of February and has really enjoyed it! When asked what his favorite part of t-ball is...he answered, running the bases! We love you, Matthew and praise God for you everyday! Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Baack for coming to your last t-ball day!

Splish Splash...It's Madeleine's 2nd Birthday Bash!

We celebrated Madeleine's 2nd birthday at Uncle "Churt's" pool and had a blast :) Madeleine was blessed to have both sets of grandparents at her party along with Uncle Mike, Auntie Melissa, Erin and Meghan, Uncle Curt and Auntie Joyce, and our good friend, Ms. Robin :) Madeleine loved drinking juice boxes, eating chips and cupcakes, chasing her cousins around the party room and of course, swimming! We feel so blessed for the last two years!

Another day...another foot of snow...

We got yet another foot of snow plus a few more inches today :) We decided to go out and play in it! Matthew and Madeleine are enjoying the snow more and more each day! Madeleine still enjoys being pulled around in the sled and Matthew has started enjoying shoveling snow and throwing it. He even asked the other day if we could go outside and build a snowman...Minnesota's growing on him little by little as it is for us all ;) Yes, all of those spots in the pictures is snow!!! The snow angel was made by David trying to encourage the kids to try it!

And If Our God Is For Us...

David and I went to Chris Tomlin's AND IF OUR GOD IS FOR US concert last night in Saint Paul and had an incredible time ;) Thank you Grandma and Papa for watching Matthew and Madeleine for us and supporting our once a week date night!
