I struggled a bit with South Bend in the fall mainly because I was in my first trimester of pregnancy which is never fun and feels never ending. Once I crossed that bridge I realized how much I am going to miss it here! It has been such a great place for us to live! I hate thinking about moving and how my kids can't just run in the "backyard" and play with friends all day. The community here is awesome and we have made so many great friends! I know we will all keep in touch, but it won't be the same.
Graduation is in five weeks and baby brother is due in four and then our next step is to move! I can't believe we moved here almost a year ago. Time has flown by! I wish we could take the community with us! Well here are a few pictures of the last few weeks.
Hallie and Adalie each got to participate in gymnastics one day inside of a bus. It was put on by the Village. They loved it!
Hallie and Hannah waiting for gymnastics to start--they are really going to miss each other!

One of three Easter Egg Hunts we attended. So since this occasion my girls love to play "Easter Bunny" They involve other kids on the playground and take turns sitting on each others lap.
Daddy and his girls!
At the Easter Egg Hunt they had face painting and the line was HUGE so Nate took Adalie home and painted her face.
Every morning without fail the girls stand in front of the door trying to stop Nate from going to school. Hallie will start standing in front of the door 10-15 minutes before Nate is even ready to leave. After he leaves they come and cry real tears for about 30 seconds and then move on. Just a routine I am used to I guess...
Luckily he is strong enough to get out!
This is one of Adalie's good friends Dorothy (look how tan they are already!!)
They love to jump off the couch
and draw on windows
While Hallie makes a mess of the bathroom!
One last thing I want to write about is that about a week ago Nate and I were woken up in the middle of the night to sound of our front door opening! Nate jumped out of bed as fast as he could (what a man!) and found Adalie coming inside!!! He asked her what she was doing and she said she was going to play outside! She was clearly sleep walking! We are not sure if she was out there for just a little bit or a long time which is scary to think about!! The next day we had a deadbolt installed!! I asked Adalie if she remembered leaving and she was confused and when I explained to her what happened she got scared and cried. I felt so bad!
