Settling In After the Vacation

It was great coming home to the kiddos and Mama Lisa.  She had the kiddos well-fed which is what Jens appreciated.

 Mama Rae was excited to get back to her kitchen where she makes homemade Cap'n Crunch. 

 We've had some fantastic weather which allows the chicos an opportunity to get fresh air and to get out from under their mother's feet.

 Speaking of feet...Rock saw a puppet show at school and brought that enthusiasm home.

 While I was running on the treadmill Rock came down and ran on the other one to keep me company.  He ended up running 1.6 miles on a 12% incline in about 22 minutes.  He was pretty tired and slept at Papa Dale's birthday party.  Ryker was smart and slept while Rock sleeps, just like with a new born that's how you catch up on sleep.

 Ryker had a combination of sunscreen and lotion in his hair which made it appear very cottony. 

 When Rock woke up he was very hungry and didn't care that Chayo's foot was especially spicy.  He ate a ton of chile con carne.

 Jens loved the cake and the blue lips that it gave her.  

 "YUMMY!!"

 Chayo, Case and Ma and Pa England.

 The kids starting sleeping on the living room floor while Mama Lisa was here and we've let them keep it up since.

 The kids have loved cuddling with their sweet mommy since we've been home. 

 Papa Dale and Mama Rae surprised Ryker with a spike helmet and new bike.

 He looks like the perfect little biker dude.

 That might be the most Ryker face ever.

 Jens loved the bike and wanted in on the fun.

 Meanwhile Ryker enjoyed feeling his sweet spikes.

 Huddy really liked helping Ryker get moving.

 Maybe this one is the most Ryker face ever.

 Checking to make sure the spikes were still there.

 Jens and Huddy felt left out since they couldn't ride the bikes, so Papa Dale made it up to them. 

 Spring is an especially pretty time of year to live here.
