Let's go fly a kite

Some friends of ours watch Grace and Toby while BK and I do a date night on Sunday's. We alternate weeks so the next week we will watch their three children. It is fun and an awesome way to get some much needed "Mommy and Daddy" time.

Our friends bought the kids two kites. I think Grace's is a Barbie kite and Toby's is a Buzz Lightyear kite. The kids have been begging us to fly these kites since they received them. Grace and I have failed a couple times at attempts to make these kites fly without enough wind (picture 5 month prego chick running through her yard) trying to get a kite into the air.



Well, this Wednesday Dad and some nice wind made it all happen for our kids. He's a super kite flyer. Grace got her kite up and flying and was elated. Once the tail was fixed on Toby's kite... Toby did too. It was fun to watch them enjoy the day with Billy. The wind kept up, the kites were flying and the kids thought it was the coolest thing that the kites stayed in the air. This day off for him each week has turned out to be an incredible blessing to us.

I just thought I'd post some more recent pics of my awesome kids and husband.

We can't wait for Spring to finally be here for good. Some are predicting one last snow storm... Uh... no thank you! :)
