Spring Breaking and Tulip Festivaling


A few weeks ago Trevor's students had spring break, which meant he got to take spring break too. He also had finished up another semester of his graduate program and had some time before spring term started, so he was both school-less and work-less for the week. It was pretty much an amazing week full of doing nothing but spending time together. I want spring break to be every week.

On one of the days when the weather was actually semi-spring like, we went down to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We had been 2 years ago together but we thought it would be fun to take the little child this year.


It was still a little chilly and a some of the tulips hadn't bloomed yet because of how cold it had been, but it was at least sunny and there were still tulips aplenty. We also had lunch at the cafe there, which had some really delicious food. Grilled cheese sandwich with avocado, tomato, and goat cheese. Yum.



Thompson loved being outside too. When he is in a new place, he is really good because he is so fascinated by new things that he just quietly takes it all in. And when he is outside, there is a whole lot of newness to take in.

Could this boy be any sweeter?



Seriously, he is the sweetest little boy. Every morning he greets me with the biggest smiles and snuggles. Unless he gets too tired or hungry, he is a happy wiggly little goof.

Adding to the happiness of all 3 of us - his bottom teeth finally popped through! I feel like he has been teething for a few months, so a few weeks ago when we first noticed a tooth coming through we were pretty relieved. The second one showed up just this last week. I am going to miss his gummy smile, but I think a smile with two little teeth showing is going to be pretty cute too.

  3. He is way super cute. What are his thoughts on grass? Isaac has a love/hate relationship with it.

  4. I love the tulip festival! This post has reminded me that we must go there soon. We used to go there a lot when we first started dating. And you know...we got engaged there. But I was very embarassed because so many people were watching that I made Brandon get off his knee and we went straight to the car to hide. Ha.

  5. Kalie - funny you should ask...just this weekend we had a picnic and most of the time we had to stop Thompson from to sticking his face in and eating the grass. So he seems to be liking it, at least for now!
