We went with friends Brooke and Jenn to a nearby park that has a butterfly garden. After playing on the playground, Brooke and Ian enjoyed looking at the pretty flowers and pointing out the butterflies!
A family from our church hosted a train open house last weekend. Almost the entire second floor of their house is a replica of a Colorado railroad. It was amazing! The family gave us a listing of all of the other model train builders in the area, too, so we can visit more trains!
We had some friends over one day last week. Don't the boys look so grown up?? (Eli, Micah, Ian, Caleb B., and Caleb L.)
Kim spent some time organizing the toy room. Since we moved our chest of drawers into the nursery, we could move the shelf with fabric bins into the toy room. My friend Kristy gave me a GREAT idea for how to label the bins. It's been SO helpful when Ian is looking for a toy or when it's time to pick up the toy room!
We also hung up a few bulletin boards to display Ian's artwork. When we were at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, Ian picked out the fabric that's hanging on the back of the bulletin board. (If you can't see it very well, he chose monkeys and giraffe print.)
Our biggest news of the past few weeks, though, was finding out our "double siblings" (Amy and Jason) are expecting!! What an answer to prayer!! We excitedly got a care package together for them, including this homemade sign for their nursery (thanks for the great idea, Lauren!). Right after we got the care package together, we found out even more exciting news ... Amy and Jason are expecting TWINS!! Maybe we'll need to make another sign. :) We thank God for His wonderful gifts to Amy and Jason, and we're thrilled to become Uncle Matt and Aunt Kim for the first (and second!) time. We're also excited that these cousins will be born so close to the time our baby will be born. (Amy is due at the end of June.)

What exciting news!!! I'll keep your friends in my prayers.
I was wondering if the train was a model of the Durango train. If so, I've been on the real thing... years ago, but I've BEEN on it!
How are you feeling, Kim?
Henry liked the picture with the train ("we should go see that!"). I love the bulletin board idea! I think we will have to do something like that in Henry's "new" room!
Claudia - I'm feeling great. Thanks for asking! YES! He did model the train after the Durango-Silverton railroad. Good call!
