Clocks

Levi LOVES clocks!  He especially loves the clocks at Gran and Granddad's house.  They have a few clocks with pendulums and a cuckoo clock!  For the rest of us, the chimes just seem to blend into the background noise, but Levi hears them every time they ring (every 15 minutes!) and runs to see the clock.

When Levi was staying with them in February, Granddad taught Levi all about pendulums.  Now Levi will ask Mat to swing him like a pendulum, and the other night, he made a clock (complete with a pendulum) out of his spaghetti.

I thought I got a picture of him swinging the pendulum, but I didn't...I'll leave you with a cute picture of a messy little boy!

Spring Break

Spring Break is always a welcome break, but I think I needed it more this year than I have in the past.  I was looking forward to some rest and some time with my little guy!

The first weekend of my break, my parents came up to help us move some furniture from our house to my sister's house.  Levi and I traveled with them up to see Blair and Kyle.  It was nice to spend time with them, and Levi loved having all that attention!  

Once we got back to our house, Levi enjoyed showing off his bike skills on a trip to the park with Pops and Grammie.

The rest of our week was spent playing at our house and in our backyard and being lazy!  Just what we needed!
