We've had several nice days and Hank sat with me for a picnic one afternoon for lunch so we could give baby some peace and quiet for his nap inside!
We did our annual spring break tour to visit grandparents in North Carolina!
This year, my mom went with me to help out and that meant that Olivia got to join us too!
We went straight to Wilson to see Granny's new place.
We all went to dinner at Parker's. Pretty eventful with the children :)
We had a surprise visitor! Aunt Stella stopped by to see us and help feed Pete dinner.
We split up the girls and boys in 2 hotel rooms. Vivian and Kate read bedtime stories to Olivia in their room.
Hank and Pete went straight to bed, but I got this picture of them the next morning watching cartoons.
The kids went back to see granny one more time that morning while Pete took a nap at the hotel room with me.
On the last Friday of spring break this year, we surprised the kids with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte, North Carolina. We went with our favorite Morgan family and Uncle Joey, Aunt Tasha, Olivia and Papa and Gramme. That morning, we FaceTimed with Seth, Joel, and Annabeth. Seth shared the good news with our three and then we got on the road.
I didn't get a lot of pictures while we were there because I was in the water with the kids! We didn't take Pete with us so that I could play with everyone! But here are the few that Mom and I captured:
They really had the time of their lives! And as an adult, there are a few things sweeter than watching children have this much fun!
We met our Girl Scout friends at the local nursing home and helped them with an egg hunt. This girl has a kind heart. She is a helper and genuinely wants to be involved. 
We have this whole house, and they all wind up playing in one doorway together. Love that they love to be with each other :)
I love a sleeping baby!!!
Here we go!! He is getting on his hands and knees and rocking back-and-forth! 
In the 2nd grade, the kids go on one field trip. Parents were invited to join in so Aaron and I met her there with Hank and Pete. They finished their unit on ancient China, so the field trip was to the Dynasty Buffet!😂
We have been inside for two days watching the beautiful snow fall! The kids ventured out a few times but we don't have the right boots or gloves so they aren't staying out for long. Aaron took them to the back of our property when he got home early from work on Friday to burn a pile of brush he's been waiting to get rid of. 
Hopefully I will get some more pictures of them playing in the snow tomorrow and Monday!
Today I took all the kids to Pete's check up with Dr. Beazley (the girls were out of school) and Kate used my camera to document the appointment :)
We took a new picture of the kids for him to add to his photo board of patients.
Our little man is 4 months old! He weighs 13 lbs, 6 oz. and is 25.5 inches long.
He is as healthy as can be! Thank you, Lord!
Kate enjoys taking selfies :)
Waiting for the doctor!
Sweet baby. He just looks like all of them to me. It's so unreal.
We always play a game when we go of who can guess the color of Dr. B's sweater. Whoever guesses blue is usually right. No one was right this time.
Of course V found the books right away and was stuck in one pretty much the whole time.
This man is retiring this spring and so I thought it would be the last time all the kids would see him at the same time. That's why I brought the camera. I wanted one picture of them with him.
I've known Dr. B my whole life. He was my pediatrician from the beginning and I was so thankful to have him as our kids' pediatrician, too. He is really the best. He is very honest and shoots straight, no extra info to make a new mom confused. Sometimes when I asked a question I knew he could see right through it to know the reason behind it and would just address all of it together. (does that make sense?)
The girls made thank you cards for him..."thank you for keeping us healthy," "happy retirement," etc. It was sweet.
We will definitely miss him!
I made Hank keep both of his hands on the wall during the time for Pete's shots so he wouldn't be in our way :)
Poor Pete! I can't believe she got a picture of this.
