3 Months and Air Plane Travel

A few days after our trip to Charlevoix we boarded a plane to Virginia to visit our friends, the Silers.  It was Malachi's first time on a plane and traveling out side of the state.  He did an awesome job!  We enjoyed the warmer weather and the taste of spring (it really does exist! Sometimes you forget that in Feb. and March.) :-)
     Lauren's boss and friend, Kelly, deserves a shout out because she let Malachi barrow all of her baby things, so we didn't have to lug it on the plane.  That was super helpful and a real blessing!  We had one 70 degree day! It was a miracle!  While there we did some hiking, took a lot of walks, daddy went to Bristol to see the race, mommy got some pampering and we ate yummy food! The best part was catching up with the Silers and relaxing.

Going for a walk!

This bouncy seat is cool mom!  I am totally going to be bored of mine when we get home! :)

Family photo..kinda

                                  Hiking up to the Roanoke Star.

"are we there yet?" :)

Malachi loves the out doors

The largest man made star 

                                             You can see all of the city from up there

Someone thinks they're cool :)

Hanging out with daddy

Going on another hike

Malachi is supposed to face in with his carrier, but he 

won't.  He has to see where we are going! :)

The end of the hike.. well worth it!

Getting a pedicure

Poor bub wouldn't fall asleep for daddy!  He finally settled down and nodded off when put in the bouncy seat on vibrate! lol 

Beautiful signs of spring

Enjoying the sunshine

"What is that bright thing in the sky mom?"

               Thanks for letting us visit guys!  Can't beleive this is our best group shot.
                                     We'll have to do better next time! :)

Family Fun Weekend in Charlevoix

For Christmas the Spinniken siblings go in together to rent a house for a long weekend.  We started this a few years as gift to our parents and really enjoyed it, so we decided to continue the tradition.  This year we were at a big house on Charlevoix Lake with a hot tub, a game room, and lots of space.  We enjoyed playing with babies and ate too much food.  Our family is growing so fast, but we have managed to stay close.  This is a true blessing and we are very grateful!

Intensely enjoying his chain toys lol
