April

April for Dad was highlighted by a visit to Augusta for the Master's with the Murphy brothers.

Avery (8 months) - Avery had a big month.  She moved up to Crawler A room at daycare and immediately grew up.  While there are still no teeth in sight, she has about mastered sitting up and she is pushing on all fours and rocking back and forth.  She also loves to roll around and has been known to roll under the cribs at school and have conversations with herself.
Madie is very protective of Avery
Always the smiling baby
Sleeping on her belly is her new position
Playing with Pops
First visit to the liquor store
Parker (3 years, 5 months) - Parker is a fabulous handful these days.  He is incredibly stubborn but has the best smile I know.  He loves being outside and doing art projects.  He is horrible with trying new foods and wearing clothes he didn't pick, but he is precious with Avery and wants to do everything Carter does.  He is the oldest child in his class at school so he is enjoying showing off his intellect and acting as a leader for the other children.
Parker made mom some pictures for her office
He has been on a tricycle kick

Golf with Dad and brother
Carter (4 years, 11 months) - Carter is growing up quick and is at such fun sweet, silly age.  He is really into cooking lately and asks questions about everything.  He's getting excited/nervous about kindergarten next year as it means lot of fun adventures but leaving his best friends.  In the meantime we are spending lots of time with his buddies and soaking up this great age.

Siblings - The kids are such fun together.  The boys are great with Avery including bottles, songs, hugs and kisses.  Diaper changes are still a work in progress.  They also adore each other and have had a blast spending more time outside with the great Spring weather.

Fernbank

With another rainy Saturday canceling sports plans, the boys asked to head to Fernbank.  We spent all day and probably could have gone longer but mom and dad wore out.  The boys had a blast in Nature Quest and had to be dragged away from the balls.  The Poison special exhibit was also lots of fun.
Parker was obsessed with the baby alligators
