Cherry Blossoms


On Saturday we went downtown to see the cherry blossom parade. It was Noah's first parade and he absolutely loved it. He got to see Elmo and Bigbird and the Easter Bunny. He really liked all the marching bands too. It was super windy too but that wasn't too bad. We all got a little bit of sun (except for Allison) and were quite worn out when we got home. Here are some pictures!





Allison slept for quite a while despite the wind, sun and noise. Babies are amazing.

I was looking at some old pictures yesterday and Allison was "helping". She was pretty much in heaven with so many things to grab.
Keith got out his backpack (he's been wanting to go backpacking lately) and Noah wanted to give it a try. It might not be his size though.

Love the pictues. We went downtown yesterday with the intent of seeing the blossoms before the crowds got into town. That didn't work out as the streets were all blocked off because of a marathon. We couldn't even get close.

Will we ever learn?

You're kids are so cute! Reading your blog makes me even more homesick than I have been feeling lately. I wish we lived closer to VA and you guys. Jayden enjoys looking at the pictures of Noah and little Allison is getting so big.

When is your marathon?
